Cathy started out knowing nothing about the bass, but her inate sense of rythmn had her booming out the beat in no time. Cathy had been hanging in TaiChung for her record length of time--2 1/2 years when her feets got itchy.....
Cathy has settled for a while in Brisbane....doing art, hanging with old friends, living an Aussie lifestyle......after twelve years away!
Cathy stopped by in April for Spring Scream Goat....what fun to have her here....she crooned SummerSong with us!

Hello

am this is the only way that i know ill get the message out that i miss
you all and do do do think of you all at those times in my life when something
is eaten or happens that reminds me of you.
don't doubt it for a minute!
Today christmas eve is a hot and humid day and i am home finally oraganising
the mess that is!
2004 was a great year I had some wonderful work teaching drama and art within
a unit of a state school in which we had a large percentage of refugee children
mainly sudanese and iraqi and iranian. Very interesting crazy and fullfilling
work.
I met and got together with Geoff who is a wonderful, sstimulating, lovin
guy, has three great kidz It has vbeen fantastic to be a part of the Brisbane
community again, catching up with old friends and renewing and enlivening
old friendshoips and new. Its been great being a part of the enlarging sanderson
adams family and cuy cuy is absolutely adorable.
Just got back from a week camping over on stradbroke island which was great
boogie boarding walking and eating and drinking all the essentils of a great
trip not to mention no rain
I currently live in a communal flat situation not far from the centre of
town 10 mins on the train, it was a set of four flats that a group of 4
folks bought then built in a large cantilevered deck underneath where there
use to be parking for 4 cars this is open to the air two sides and a communal
space with tables sofas and a ping pong table along eith a dart board sporting
the face of our non illustrious prime minister John Howard.blah
there is acommunal flat which has a spare bedroom for guersts and acommunal
kitchen
we have chooks fire circle and tha kitchen devoted to brewing of beer apple
cider and ginger beer
the folks and kids here are great quirky people and we get on real well.
I am happy to not in a tent anymore which i did for 8 months, in feb geoff
and I and kids will move into leonie and robs old house next door to our
lovely friend tanea
Next year is looking great with work 2 days a week at an environmental centre
on the wetland mangrove beach north of the city, 1 and a half days a week
at a local state school teaching new ESL english as a second language students,
as well as a trip out west to do an art workshop, and other art based jobs.

Take care
love you

I think i will be working in a couple of different schools next year one as an art teacher 1 day a week, the other as a drama teacher in an environmental education centre which conducts programs which children come to the centre for using drama as a base.
i am still in the tent, but may try to find hard wall accomodation where i can hang things and spread out more, but i still wanna be in the same hood.
