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.

There is a saying that sums it up-
" You have to know where you come from -to know where you are going?"

Dinner at Binks

Picked Dids up from work as his bike tyre blew on him on his way to work this morning so he had to leave it in Carrington Road, of course 8 hours later the bike is missing so now we are minus a bike. I spent today in bed watching Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles which was enjoyable am going to be sad when I get to the end because it has not been picked up again. 


Dinner tonight was held in honour of Bianca and Brooke's 29th Birthday which is actually the 3rd November but I will be at work so we had dinner of Lebanese food from our favourite restaurant Fatimas at Cleveland Street. I felt out of sorts and not with it this evening unfortunately, Riley was overtired but very cute playing with his kitchen and Summer woke up so that Nana could give her cuddles and her bottle. Riley said he wanted his nappy changed and only grannan which is Dids could do it. By the time I got home I felt tired heaven knows why I have done nothing all weekend.
