The Original Royal Derwent Files – September 19th, 2005

The following is from a Live Journal blog post I made on the 19th September 2005, via the user name royalderwent.
We were lucky enough to borrow a video camera off my brother which he obtained from school. The reason for borrowing the camera was that I am still to own my own, [...]

Engagement, Wedding & Holidays

A few weeks ago, my beautiful Chicken asked me to marry him.  Knelling down amongst shimmering candles layed out in a heartagram on the bedroom floor, he took my hand and asked me to be his wife.  I, of course, said yes before he jumped back up, flames licking at his jeans – he had [...]

The Original Royal Derwent Files – Introduction

Several years ago, I started a paranormal investigation of an old, abandoned mental asylum in New Norfolk, Tasmania – Willow Court, also known as The Royal Derwent.  Once the largest mental asylum in the Southern Hemisphere, it was closed down ward by ward towards the end of the 90’s as new changes were made to [...]

Hobart Zombie March 2010

Another year, another Zombie March – and what a blood bath of brains and fun it was! This year saw even more zombies of all ages rise from their graves to make their way from Princess Park in Battery Point to the Brisbane Hotel in Hobart.  Once again dressed as a bloody bride, my [...]

Yes, I Am Still Alive…

I have been neglecting my blog of late, especially when it comes to posting about life in general.  In the last few months I have been promoted at work, competed in my first BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) competition (with videos to be posted soon) and my Chicken & I have started planning on bringing a [...]

Camping At Coles Bay

Funny Car Sticker, Link Exchange & Advertising

We were driving home last night when we saw this on the back of a car – “Proudly Sponsored By Centrelink.”  For those Non-Australians who aren’t in fits of laughter thinking, WTF?  Centrelink is Australia’s welfare agency which financially supports many of our citizens using tax payers money, from pensioners to parents, from students to [...]

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) Competition – Hobart, November 2009

Back in November of last year, My Chicken (Adam) competed in his first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) competition.  He had only been training for about 4 months at the time and won his first fight – I was so proud of him!  I has so much fun watching him that I have recently decided to [...]

Jeff Martin & The Armada

I have long been a fan of Jeff Martins Musicianship, from The Tea Party to his new project, The Armada.  Rich in story influenced from the far corners of the Earth, his music takes me aways to other lands, where mysticism and magic overcome me and leave me longing for more.  Such is the power [...]
