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.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
I have to ask what this monument is?

It isn’t a monument but rather a building in the CBD Sydney. This is the CTA club (Commercial Travellers Association). It is part of the MLC centre and designed by architect Harry Seidler.

At night it certainly is wow. The blue lighting gives it a futuristic look – I think.

This is a futuristic look in its architecture and design, but perhaps symbolizes the future in the industry! Thanks for participating in Sunday Still this week, Irene!

Thanks Terri. I noticed your challenge on Cee’s new site. I used to do Sunday Stills when Ed was at the wheel and I always enjoyed it. You will probably see me regularly now I know it is back. Thanks.

I have been able to access coffee share for some time. I try again and I still can’t. Period I do a Good Afternoon. I probably should put one in my blog and read I g are keeping busy with outside pressures adding stress.
