FOR DOROTHY

We share the days and nights together, the mornings and the afternoons,
the kitchen and the news and weather, the birthdays and a hundred tunes.

Oh, but it’s not easy to express the way I feel. No, it isn’t easy just to show my love is real.

I like your style of conversation,
the way you walk and what you wear. I like your special sense of humour and jokes that only we can share.

Oh, how I love your eyes; they speak more than words of the song that is you inside.

So much of you is in my breathing. You’re written into every scene.
I love you more than songs and singing, I want to stay inside your dreams.

Back from a Break 

 

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise 
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the 
General Convention .

See some of you there.
