Yes, the music is my favourite thing about this NING site - wish we could do the same kind of thing on Facebook!! :-)
Boys are well and growing tall. It's a bit wintry here in Brisbane at the moment - means I can look forward to summer…"

I'm sorry I missed an opportunity to chat with you the other day.

About Me

Born in Kenya, raised in Australia. I am a Subject of the Sultan of Zanzibar, a British subject, a naturalised Australian Citizen and I have two Kiwi/Aussie children... but I don't think I have a valid passport just at the moment.

My Interests

English literature, history, education, music, dance...

Employment or Career

I am gradually working towards my BA, majoring in History and English literature as an on-and-off part-time student. In the past I have been employed in the following jobs: fruit shop assistant, waitress, Arnotts Biscuits factory worker (biscuits = cookies), Hoyts candy bar attendant, legal secretary, McDonalds front-counter (are you impressed?), student nurse, nurses aide, customer service at St George Bank: loans and enquiries, motel house-maid, cocktail waitress, house-cleaner (for Dial-an-Angel), Telecom NZ faults centre officer, bookkeeper, and self-employed office manager for high-rise window-cleaning business (the latter for about 13 years.) I resigned from my full-time job in administration at the University of Queensland to study and complete my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Literature and History.

Music I Like

Piano, guitar, clarinet, trumpet... I mean, I like to hear other people playing them - solo, as accompaniment, in orchestras, and bands. I like music.

Books I Like

I love to read! Recently I've read several "Postmodern" novels for a literature course. I enjoy novels by Jane Austen, George Orwell, Charles Dickens, PD James, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jonathan Swift, Gerald Durrell, John Steinbeck, Rosemary Sutcliffe, E Nesbit and many others. I like reading the poems of writers like Rudyard Kipling, AB Peterson, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Henry Lawson, John Donne, Robert Frost, Mo Wilkinson (she's my mum!) And I like books that help me to spring-clean the brain cells: - The Peter Principle (Laurence and Hull) - The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements (Hoffer) - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig) - Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior (Brafman and Brafman) - The Language of God (Collins) - In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed (Honore) - Dumbing Down: Outcomes-based and politically correct – the impact of the Culture Wars on our schools (Donnelly) - Endangered Minds (Healey) - The Tipping Point (Gladwell) - Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say (Rushkoff) - Boys Adrift: the Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men (Sax) - A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-First Century (Van DeMille) - Eve’s Bite (Wishart)

Television I like

Crime investigation, British comedies - don't watch it very much - so I even find the adverts interesting!

Movies I like

The Mission, Out of Africa, The God's Must Be Crazy, The Constant Gardener, The Devil Wears Prada, Gone With The Wind, The Bourne Identity, The Sound of Music, Brave Heart, Spy Game, Finding Nemo, The Insider, Pulp Fiction, Along Came Polly, Love Actually, The Full Monty, Cool Runnings and all the rest! :-)

Sports Teams I like

Yeronga Devils, Brisbane Lions, the Kenyan Olympic team and the Kenya national rugby union sevens team.

Understood, sounds wonderful - it's so nice to hear these things! Sounds like a really good life and right where you are supposed to be teaching the kids.
I will put Australia on my list - seriously! It may take me a year or 5 but I'll probably get there :)
I don't get on this site often and am a sporatic emailer (since work expanded A LOT! :) but I am at debraannkline@cox.net also; that's my "friends" email addy.
This is odd, because I can't read the message you wrote while I write back...and I keep trying to go back and forth to see it....
Debra Kline August 31, 2009 at 4:11pm

Hi Sarah!
Well maybe I'll just come on down to visit you BEFORE the return! Australia sounds exciting even just to see. Tell me about you and your life there - were you born there?
I have an eclectic, messy life but I do find that in any category in which I yield to God - He's all over it. As if He's just waiting for me to submit in any arena so He can move. Doesn't appear He needs any kind of perfect person. But yes, all religion aside, it's sort of awesome to see these things!
What about you?
I have memory of your name but not your face but that's the case often. It's been a long time.

Sarah - guess it has been too many years - I remember your name, but your face eludes me - I'm glad you like the tunes - you are the first one to comment on them !! I really like music!
John Richeson August 27, 2009 at 5:17pm

Ahhhh, love your taste in music. We are from the same mold musically in many ways.
DIANE M (AMOROSO) RACETTE July 24, 2009 at 5:31am

Hi Sarah, I do remember you! I told Jerry so he could send a note. He still has the desire to get back to Sydney but it's not in the plans yet! I will homeschool 9th and 11th grades this year. Enjoy yourself. Blessings Diane

Hi Sarah,

God bless you!

Fotis and I are in Castlereagh, just outside of Sydney. We see Marco Levada and family pretty often, and are in touch with Phil Lowe as well, who is up in Townsville. We had a wonderful time with Dave and family awhile back, but have kind of lost touch with them. Sure loved their company, though.

Would love to hear from you!

Oh, you have changed! Your picture shows you are looking more and more like a kookaburra! - how is that spelled?
Cindy Kuchmy Kelley July 23, 2009 at 8:57am

Hi, nice to see you here. I heard there was an earthquake of sorts and NZ is now nearer in geography to Australia than it was previous. Any impact on you?
Jerry D Racette July 16, 2009 at 5:19pm

Good day mate, how are you going?
