Day 1 and 2: Adelaide to Darwin Roadtrip – Adelaide to Port Augusta to Coober Pedy SA



“I am asking for only very basic assistance towards the tyre replacement and assist in travel/accommodation costs for the long journey, of driving 3000kms from the bottom (Adelaide) to top (Darwin) of Australia.”
If you would like to assist Jaya’s journey, here is the link to her GoFundMe Fundraiser:

So much Singing – and much more
I’ve been singing so much the past eight months – every single day. Sometimes all day; into the night; all through the night – going to bed at early morning; then starting all over again… its been a huge time of creativity, relentless practice. I have been so busy with ‘other’ creative pursuits this past year, including the gift of travelling to Canada (Vancouver BC; plus Calgary & Banff in Alberta) – the first time in my life I’ve had ‘time’ to develop my other interests. I’ve worked with other musicians to craft a new original song, volunteered in film competitions, produced short films of my own and… sung. There is now more than 2000+ songs on my Smule channel – each one crafted, one at a time, all songs are a labour of love, unpaid yes, but… filled with the Joy and satisfaction of creating music, short films and many many friendships online and wordwide.

New page on my blog – selfies galore – gallery through the years
I have placed a new page on my official blog (selfies are a good record of one’s state of mind) – which contain some of the pictures I’ve taken during the making of musical and film achievements – a general history, some definite nostalgia – there are many pics missing from earlier years, which I’ll add when I find them – but… this was a bit of fun for me, and has brought back so much memory, struggle, triumph, sadness, joy and generally experiences that I’ve treasured — comments are welcome; and questions too, if you feel inspired.

Why I use Elektra Magnesium products?
Reblogging, as this is just the best product that more people need to know about – stress, cramps, tiredness, aches, pains…. poor diet, air/water/soil pollution, deficient foods… you are probably lacking Magnesium. See what health professionals have to say.
Journey into the history of Al Ain – two magnificent Museums
I went with a friend and we visited two places:
1. The Al Ain Museum. Just, MAGNIFICIENT.
One of the best museums I’ve ever been so fortunate to walk into… We explored for hours…. its a rich heritage, lovingly collated. The glass on the front of each of the displays was perfectly polished; and the Emirate lady at front reception, a caring guide/hostess. And I was very happy to have spent such quality time poring over all the amazing array of treasures.
More pics….

ROADSIDE VALIDATION
This is a beautiful post – please read, share widely and treat all animals with the respect they need and, deserve. Kindness towards all sentient beings is vital – for they are part of us, connected in the very same, Life.
ROADSIDE VALIDATION
They
speed by
without consideration
of the earthly encasement of your spirit
now in frozen fallen state
of no longer being.
~~~~~
On the side of a man-made thoroughfare,
apathetically referred to as
“Roadkill,”
Your nameless, lifeless body,
ignored by the masses of “humanity,”
is invalidated
by those who hold
their own lives so dear.
~~~~~
Last respects
withheld
funeral, ceremony, nor memorial considered
for
WHO
was so recently
a breathing,
feeling,
living being.
~~~~~
I pause to make significant note,
in honor of your meaningful existence,
I ask
a BLESSING
upon your soul,
now ceased to resist the changing of form,
passing on to the ‘nother places.
And in reverent, heartfelt whisper
send you intentional confirmation that
“YOU mattered … to me.”
~~~

A positive Gastro experience… seriously, after all the pain… some joy!
I’ve had some fairly debilitating and painful (++!!) gut troubles the past decade/few years/months/weeks… and after some quality diagnosis last month in Kerala, India, I had to deal with a small op today (in Dubai, UAE) – a Colonoscopy to check for Diverticulitis.
