  • Writing Reflection: Week of the 25th May 2020

    This week I have been both productive and unproductive. By that I mean, I’ve actually gotten a lot done but it won’t reflect in my targets. I have been doing my Japanese lessons, my Spanish lessons, been working out a… Continue reading

  • RunRona: 10km is not a lot to give

    I’m done. I finished my walk. Towards the end my body realised I didn’t have breakfast and was a little upset with me but walking 10km is nothing compared to the fight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have been fighting… Continue reading

  • RunRona: it’s still the same sky

    Though it’s cloudy, It’s warm, I’m sweating, And I’ve taken my jacket off, Though it’s cloudy, And the shade is chilly, The sun pats my shoulders, Saying “I’m here”, The winds blow, Saying “I’m here”, And later today, The moon… Continue reading

  • RunRona: I hit the 5km mark

    Admittedly, I got lost for a moment there in East Brisbane. But once I see the Gabba lights, I know where I’m going. I’ve been living here for about eight years and I still really only know my common path… Continue reading

    Today, once I’m awake and ready, I’m going for a 10km walk around Brisbane to take part of a virtual walk RunRona 2020. I don’t have a printer to get my bib but I will be out there nevertheless. RunRona… Continue reading

  • Read and Reading: The Secret River

    I finished The Secret River last week and am now about halfway through Songs for the Dead. I liked The Secret River. I didn’t love it but I think that’s mostly because of how frustrated I was while I was… Continue reading

  • にほんごおべんきょうしています

    Nihongo o benkyou shiteimasu. I’m studying Japanese. The above is written only in hiragana because I don’t know much kanji yet and thought it should reflect what I’ve actually learnt. I’m not sure if that means it no longer makes… Continue reading
