Help!…I’ve been taken hostage…

Zumba on the Sunshine Coast

Caught in weird gravitational pull... Hayley, Mix FM roadie and me.

I know… when I looked back at my blog I could hardly believe it myself…

FIVE months have passed since I last sat down and wrote a post

Where have I been?  What on earth could have kept me away from the keyboard of sanity that I had kept within arms reach for so many years?

Had I been abducted? Was I simply being lazy? Or was I trapped under something heavy and desperately trying to reach the laptop…?

Nope, it was just because of one word…

ZUMBA!

Beauty and the Beast…

March 24, 2010 in blog by Vicky Gray | 2 comments

Two thoughts have crossed my mind over the last week or so…

The first was on how little I encounter any creepy crawlies.  When I first traipsed around Australia in the early nineties, I would often come across a spider the size of my face… and the odd cockroach wing/leg/antenna in my shoe.

Just a-walking in the rain

February 25, 2010 in blog by Vicky Gray | 3 comments

After a month of mayhem, I am finally getting a handle on my new routine.  With three children starting different schools; writing unscheduled articles for magazines; filming youtube clips (coming soon to this channel!) and organising other work commitments – my days have been somewhat disorganised…

…and I loathe disorganisation!

But today I felt like I had finally got everything back on an even keel - so this morning I decided to make time to throw on some training shoes and get back into doing some exercise, as it seems my bottom has been widening by the hour.

Happy Australia Day!!

January 26, 2010 in Living In Australia, blog by Vicky Gray | No comments

Today I celebrated my first Australia Day as an Aussie…. and I felt immensely proud to raise up the Australian flag (ok – it was a cheap hand-held one from the Dollar Tree… and it was actually attached to my esky – not raised up high on a pole) BUT the point is, I felt pretty darn ‘true blue’ as I knocked back the amber nectar with my nearest and dearest on the beach.

Great video from Dr. Rob Brander…

January 10, 2010 in blog by Vicky Gray | No comments

Remember a few weeks ago when I was chatting to a local surf lifesaver about rips… while watching my son being battered about by the waves…? 

Well, since then a top bloke called Dr. Rob Brander (a surf scientist) has steered me in the direction of his website, called (would you believe) “The Science of the Surf” … (and I thought I was being clever thinking of that blog title) 

So please take a look at his fantastic short video, and stay really safe!

The science of the surf…

November 20, 2009 in Living In Australia, blog by Vicky Gray | 2 comments

OK, going by that title, you would be mistaken for thinking that I’m some sort of ocean expert/marine specialist…

…. but obviously I’m not.

However, I have just been talking to someone who is very knowledgeable about that sort of thing, and I felt it was of utmost importance to deliver the information to you!
