What I am up to...

Ok, so I love an invite to chat..thank you Prairie Star :)
I may however be stuck for another five...perhaps time to make some friends?
Ok so the questions are:
1. What am I reading at the moment?
2. What am I listening to at the moment?
3. What am I watching at the moment?

1: Well I just today was able to get in some time at the op-shop, which is my favourite place for books. I always offer a little thought before I go in along the lines of....let the book I am needing, find me :)
So today, I got three books, which is exciting Seven Centuries of Poetry in English' John Leonard (Editor)
Lifelines: 'Australian Women's letters and Diaries 1788 to 1840
and also another one, that I cannot find right now, but is something like "I believe' and is essays from Australian people....religious,political,social ect
I have already delved into the poetry...it has poems from Africa, New Zealand, India, America and Briton..as well as a few others. I can only explain it as ...delicious :)
I am trying to not rush into the Australian women's diary's one....I am so looking forward to it. I just recently read the penguin Australian Women Poets anthology collection...and I have long held a love for the language and imagery of our country when first settled (by white people)....I think it was so alien o what people knew of, and the courage to get through each day, is pretty inspiring.

2: Right at this moment? I am listening to my son, converse with his dog in the other room :) But lately I have been listening to what I call my 'soul sounds'..this playlist includes Billy Holiday, Nina Simone,Lauryn Hill,Joni Mitchell, and a few others....songs that sound like the singer knows what she's on about!

3:Paint dry!! Really....I have some oil background done, and I am waiting for it to dry, so I can go ahead with the rest. There is little on TV at the moment...summer break, and we have been on holidays...which amounts to good creative time for me :) Lots of painting and writing done..some photography, and time at the beach.Yay!
Ok now for the tagging part...I hope this is right :)
