This blog arises out of a conversation with my 15 year old daughter, a dedicated Live Journalist. It was a conversation had in real time during a walk in our actual neighbourhood by the way.
Where do I put the parts of my life that don’t fit with TV adverts, my reading, my professional work? What about reflections on the day? What about what I’m listening to? Who I’m talking to? Where do my various blogs meet each other?
I went back to my first ever blog – which lasted a day by the way – deleted it and started it over again. So ‘Pacific Highlander’ lives again!
Why the title? Obviously “Highlander” fits in with the TV series, starring Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod, a 400 year old immortal. There are six series, all available now on DVD. ‘Pacific’ refers partly to where I live, near the Pacific Ocean. Also to the meaning of ‘pacific’ which is peaceful or peace making. ‘Duncan’ means ‘brown warrior’ or ‘brown leader’. I’m a member of Pacific Parks Uniting, a network of house churches on the Gold Coast.
Enough for just now. Need to go and fix up the template.
