Radio

Hey I was on the radio yesterday! I've always dreamed of having a radio show. Maybe it goes back to my childhood, sitting around the kitchen table listening to 'The Argonauts' or 'Dad and Dave' . . . anyway I've always fancied being on the radio, and I did it!

I was a little bit scared and a little bit excited . . . that lovely edge of something new. Our local community radio WMA 107.5 in Castlemaine was looking for volunteers to train as announcers, so my friend Pat and I signed up. At the moment we are making community announcements and introducing music, mostly oldies from the sixties and seventies. However I'm hoping I'll graduate to an evening spot where I can play music of my own choice and talk about womens issues, particularly about self care and sustainability.

It feels like spring. Right outside my office window is a large iron box tree with a broken limb, and in the hollow of the limb is a kookaburra sitting on its nest of eggs. Her mate keeps watch and laughing hysterically from time to time as kookaburras do. It makes me feel happy and laugh too.

What are you doing that's new this week, what are you hatching?
