Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Lovely clouds and sea.

It is so hot at the moment just looking at the water is cooling and the wispy randomness of the clouds just makes it perfect.

I know how that feels but at the moment we’re getting our much needed rainy weather and it’s been pretty cool here. I love it all!

What a beautiful landscape and a bright sky.
In Germany the sky is gray.

We are very lucky that we have more blue skies than anything else. Usually if we get rain in will give us a black ominous sky and if lucky heavy torrential rain along with a lot of thunder and lightning and then in a matter of hours we will be back to blue. Hope your winter is a short one.

We are in the throes of a heat wave while I believe the States and Europe are having a cold snap.
