About Me

My photo
Sydney, NSW, Australia
I am a 49 year old Indigenous Woman, proud mother of twin girls Bianca & Brooke hopelessly devoted Nana to Riley, Summer Joy & wife to David.

Koories come in all colours

I know I'm a Koori

I've learned it from my kin
But sometimes I'm questioned
On the colour of my skin.


I'm questioned on this by both
Black and White
My culture and identity are my legal right.


My Aboriginality
I've searched for so long
But the doubts of others
Make it hard to belong.


If you wouldn't make judgments
On just what you see
Then, maybe by chance
You'll see the real me.

Hi Blog

Not much to blog about recently, I have been suffering with sciatica which is a bummer and I desperately need to lose weight but need to get the motivation from somewhere. I keep saying I want to go swimming but never seem to make the effort, I don't make the effort a lot of the time and the days just drift on by.

The girls 29th birthday on Tuesday Melbourne cup day as I am working we will probably get together on Sunday which is tomorrow. The plan so far is to grab some Lebanese food from our favourite Lebanese restaurant and go and chill at Bianca's house as Brooke is still reluctant to be out and about with Summer. Speaking of Summer have not seen her for a few days as Brooke is finding it a bit tough having visitors and Summer is unsettled in her sleep patterns. For the time being Brooke and Simon are desperately trying to get Summer into some type of routine however babies being babies have their own ideas so all is not going to plan just yet but I am sure things will fall into place.

Riley has been as cute as usual and is starting to make believe play more often now, he carries his teletubbies around and pushes them in a big tonka truck. The other day when I was around he told me La La was sick so I being the compassionate soul I am picked up La La and gave him a cuddle and a kiss, Riley was quite indignant and told me that was not La La that was Dipsy, La La was in bed sick. He is very gentle with his teletubbies and smothers them with love and kisses. Bianca said that he occupies himself more with role playing and pretends to have cups of tea ect which is good as I have just purchased a whole set of kitchen type things for him and Summer to play with at my place. I am planning on getting a cubby type house to put in our small yard.

Riley plays this game with us all where he pretends to steal your nose and throws it away, he pretended to take Bianca s nose and threw it in the backyard, he told Bianca that Oscar the dog ate it. Oscar gets the blame for everything in the Hamilton house even though Riley is generally the instigator of all the mischief. Bianca and Matt go to the fridge to find food items missing the other day it was butter which Riley loves to feed to Oscar and Oscar being Oscar will eat anything.
