Hey yoga, it’s been a while….I’d almost forgotten just how good it felt but getting invited to a party is even better.

Are you a lover of pose and prose? Lovely Heather Smith The Yoga Poet has written a book and is having a yoga inspired poetry exhibition at The Write Gallery at The Lighthouse Toowoomba 20-23 June.

There’s also free chair yoga and children’s yoga and it’s Heather’s birthday and there’s the Queens Park Poetry Trail and it’s (phew).

You know this guy, no?

Brendan Keal is a content creator.

In his beautiful and unique way….he reviews “all things Toowoomba”.

From restaurants, pubs, s**t parks, public transport to the cheapest basket of essential groceries….. it’s all vlogged with dead pan humour.

Brendan explains to Megan that young people no longer trust the news or government and that content on social media is taken much more seriously as a believable source of information. It’s important to make authentic content.

This is a fascinating interview that gives us real insight into someone from a different generation.

Brendan gently takes Megan through his thoughtful decision making processes regarding his life choices.

Happy birthday mum. This is a silhouette done at The Ekka in the mid 50’s.

Remember S. John Ross?

I’m going to do what mum used to do….give you a little lesson on something. Must have been the teacher in her.

Sebastian John Ross (24 April 1919 – 24 August 2008) was an American-born Australian caricature artist and showman, famous for his miniature silhouette portraits cut in black card and mounted on a white background.

When receiving one of many awards John always said jokingly that he would "rather be a live legend than a dead one".

He also claimed that only the Australian Taxation Office knew what the "S" in his name stood for.

He was sometimes referred to as Scissors John.

Here’s a bit of sneaky cross promotion but I’m very proud of the work these two do.

So is the GG and took our cue and gave them both an OAM.

Congratulations Marshall and Uncle Wayne.

Thank you for telling your stories on Big Little Small Talk

We went to Oaks Day yesterday.

Walk in here like you’re a brand ambassador, they said.

I can do that, I thought

A lady in a beanie and a scarf asked me if I was part of One Nation.

Note to self; these clothes are going in the bin when you get home.

Three middle aged women scheming about a new project….what could possibly go wrong?

In the last couple of months I’ve said goodbye to two of my former Clifton Shire Council colleagues. Former Mayor Ian Jones and Cr Bernie O’Donohoe.

They were great men. Decent men. Country men who called a spade a spade. They were funny, naughty, loyal, generous and hardworking.

They told tall tales after a couple of rum and waters that we’d have in the tea room after a night meeting.

In many ways they changed the course of my life. They were so deeply imbedded in their community and they had an integrity that went beyond public service and local government. They taught me many things and I am lucky to have known them.

This is the photo taken after the last meeting of the last Clifton Council in 2008. Amalgamation had happened and Clifton Shire Council was subsumed into Toowoomba Region.

My face is ashen (super dark hair doesn’t help) but once again….that’s a story for another day.

Back row; Bernie O’Donohoe, Gerard O’Leary, Ian Jones, Les Heyman.

Thank you to the lovely patient who didn’t mind donating her fetching bee bag for an impromptu photo shoot 🐝🐝

The things I am learning since getting involved with being celebrated here next Wednesday 20 May (see 👇)

What I didn’t know: there’s an old European tradition called “Telling the Bees”.

In folklore and literature, bees are believed to communicate important life updates - marriages, deaths, or departures - to their keepers, a tradition known as “telling the bees”.

If spoken to politely (and without swearing!) they are said to hum to indicate they will stay and continue their work.

However…next Wednesday 20 May is World Bee Day, and we are celebrating the wonderful world of honey bees with Dr Diana Leemon + a delectable honey-themed morning tea.

Join us to celebrate the wonderful world of honey bees through the eyes of artisans, makers and scientists who are inspired by them.

I will be in conversation with Dr Diana Leemon to discuss what important lessons we can take from our honey bees. Dr Leemon, will share some of the lessons she has learned through her bee research, industry advocacy and time spent with these magnificent creatures.

This is not your average bee gathering: dip your toes into the honeybee’s world of wonder via stories from the people who work with them.

In conjunction with the Wheen Bee Foundation’s Great Bee Morning Tea, 100% of ticket proceeds (excl. payment processing fee) will be donated to help continue funding the foundation’s critical work supporting the health and longevity of pollinators and pollination-reliant crops and ecosystems.

Whether you attend the official morning tea event, or pop in anytime until 2pm, you’ll have many opportunities to discover the magic contained + created inside of the bee hive.

Additional opportunities to support the work of the Wheen Bee foundation available on the day.

Interactive displays, take-home recipe cards, make your own candles, Honey Flow Gallery, lucky door prizes + more
