How’d u pick that name Alice. I would have gone for Algonquin, but it is one more syllable I spose. I prefer to have share custody of the neighbours’ pets so I can get temporary companion animal company and avoid feeding them and vetting them. (that’s right, the pets, not the neighbours, ha ha)
Even better I can rename them to monikers they actually answer to . Example, the pure white cat at no 13 (!) is called Gerty but I’d rather call her Icicle -- and I do ! I do NOT call her Monica.
Well even though a girl's best friend is her mutter (oblique reference to Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin circle), I didn't choose the name, Luxcis, my daughter did. The bunny is named after a block of apartments we passed en route to collect her!
Migrated to Australia from England in the late 1960s. For our Australian-born father it was a homecoming, the rest of us adapted at varying rates. Settled initially in the Sutherland Shire in New South Wales, then lived in Sydney's inner and south west, relocating to the Riverina in 2014. Write this blog, poems, articles on family and local history and critical pieces. Other interests include visual and performing arts, gardening, politics, the pool, reading and good quality television.
