Regular Jean #9: My album's out, der should have...
Hey everyone
I released an album a few weeks ago and am only just realising now that I should tell people. It’s called ‘A fool who’ll’ and you can buy it physically or digitally here:

So far it’s getting great reviews! Rolling Stone said it was an uncompromising triumph. Can’t say I agree 100 per cent, but...

As you may have noticed the title of this blog has become completely ironic. I thank you for your understanding.
I have been doing a lot of pondering but not a lot of writing lately. Song-wise I am dry. Every idea I dredge up seems a gumboot in place of a fish. There are so many amazing storytellers in this world, and so many words have been written. My words just seem to add to the...

Hey Babes What’s going on? I seriously would love to know, feel free to reply to these ramblings. The ones that have - thank you. Me? After years of waiting for my gardening genes to kick in, (My Mum and Granny are both green thumbs) it finally happened. Yesterday. I was weeding. Not just regular pull out bindies with a pincer and a glass of iced tea by your side weeding. I am talking...

(not at all) Regular Jean #5
(not at all) Regular Jean #5 Well HELLO! Could I be any LESS reliable? Apologies. I was supposed to do one of these every month, and it’s turned in to an almost biannual event. Truth be told, I have been doing so much writing lately that my brain has used up a lot of its typing juice. You see, this year I started a ‘Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing’ at RMIT. Why is...

Ahoy there, Sorry about the lateness of this, the third Regular Jean. I am writing to you from Daylesford Library. I have been living in Daylesford for the last 6 months or so. You might know Daylesford from the series of tourism ads starring Isobel Lucas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdmDGVoxjIE The extras playing locals are shown as peasants tilling the fields and stuff (that’s me...

Dear All Here I am again. Well, with the first edition of this ‘series’ I got away with not knowing what to say alright, but I can’t really do that on the second can I? I need to be a little more sure of myself, to instill confidence in you, fine reader. No such luck. Let us start at the very beginning.. a very good place to start (to quote Julie Andrews in ‘The...

Regular Jean #1
Hey All I have decided to up my cyber commitment and write to you more regularily. I am going to call these scratchings/musings/rants ‘Regular Jean’. So. Here I go. My first edition. The pressure is killing me! Ok. Take a deep breath. Hmmm.. The thing is when I think about what I actually think about, it disappears! Perhaps because when we turn the spotlight on our thoughts, they...
