The Festival of Tina has been all about changing things up, taking a chance and having fun. But maybe deep down I didn’t really believe it was possible for your luck to change. But it has. Things have really changed. No more walking along, minding your own business and a

I might join the circusI might join the circus

Is a mid life crisis a one-off thing or a series of events? Each time I try to rejoin ‘real life’ I want to run like I’m on fire. I mean I’m not buying a Porsche or anything but at this rate I might say yes to a time share.

Thwarted yet againThwarted yet again

August 17, 2022 Tina 5 Comments

I came back home from the USA with a spring in my step, ready to restart my writing career and continue with my fitness regime. I should have just laid on the lounge and waited for the feelings to pass. While I was in Nashville and Cincinnati, I was going

Keeping the FOT feelingKeeping the FOT feeling

May 18, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

There is nothing that kills off a relationship quicker than the mundane. Let’s face it, once the dating phase is over, it’s just dirty washing and fights over who picks up the kids. The FOT has the potential to be the same – stay in one place too long and

The art of PIEThe art of PIE

April 24, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

It’s amazing how close humans are to a riot at all times. It only takes one PIE (Pusher-In-Erer) to cause an orderly group of airport queuers to lose their shit. The hardest part of the whole overseas trip was, you guessed it, getting home. Combine the two most anally retentive

Lost and foundLost and found

April 17, 2022 Tina 2 Comments

The Festival of Tina is not like a typical Australian 18 year old’s gap year, where you leave a trail of destruction across the globe. I’m more mature than that. Instead I’ve left a trail of stuff around the world. In fact I’ve lost so many things I can’t actually

Nothing like a jab in the arm with every vaccination under the sun to make this journey finally seem real. Reality sets in. I am really doing this. Yesterday I got the polio vaccine booster shot. I didn’t know Polio was still a thing. Next week I’m going back for

Avoiding SpannersAvoiding Spanners

December 5, 2021 Tina 0 Comments

We have spoken of the Stephen Bradbury moment of falling just before the finish line. There are various other cliches that can assist me at this time of trying to get to the end. Avoiding spanners is right up there. To throw a spanner in the works is to prevent

Preparation for France. Alpha and Omega

Alpha and OmegaAlpha and Omega

December 2, 2021 Tina 0 Comments

Alpha and Omega – the beginning and end. So much of our lives in the past two years has been controlled by letters of the Greek alphabet. We thought Delta was the worst. Now there is omicron. Is this trip of mine ever going to take off? With 23 days

Thelma without LouiseThelma without Louise

November 11, 2021 Tina 0 Comments

Writing about moving on made me ponder my reasons for going back to places I have lived. Let’s face it, with more than 26 houses to revisit across three continents, I could almost do it constantly. At some point it’s time to leave that baggage behind and make new memories,
