Beach Evening

Spending some time down at Coogee Beach (Sydney, Australia)  :)

Because the weather was hot yesterday,
it meant that the wind wasn't cold during the evening,
and it was very pleasant, just lying on the sand until it was dark.

The Red Eye

(D)    Drug Use

The Red Eye

So, every now and then, whenever I get sick or very stressed,

because I think I might even have the measles at the moment,

I have no idea how, but anyway,

my right eye gets very red.

This is a recurring affliction that has come from an incident,

that took place when I was not even a few weeks old.

My parents needed to go out, 

but they didn't want to take me with them,

I am first born, so I was the only child at the time.

So, I was in my bed, lying on my back,

it may have even been a drawer from a cupboard,

as my parents had little in the early days,

Then my father injected heroin,
into the left side of my neck,

so that I would be paralysed and not able to cry,

and hence alert anyone that I was home alone.

I was then rolled onto my left side,
so that I was facing away from the window of the bedroom.

Then my mother placed a bath mat or something similar,

over me, so that no-one could see me from the window,

if they should happen to come over.

The bath mat had dirt in it,

and some fell into my right eye.

The dirt must have also had some germs on it,

as they have been in the corner of my eye ever since,

and developed into conjunctivitis, 

when we moved to Darwin, Australia, when I was a teenager,

because of the tropical conditions.

In my 30's, 

this developed into the "red eye" situation that you can see above.

So ....... they left me alone in the house,

my mother coming back later with the groceries.

As to my parents abusing me with illegal drugs (and other things),

this occurred frequently from when I was in the womb, 

until I was 6 years old, nearly 7,

when I stood up to them, 

and it all ended suddenly.

I don't remember going through withdrawal.

But, I have never used illegal drugs myself,

and have never had the urge to.

I would put this down to my physiology,

which is strong chemically.

Fake Blog Posts ??

So while I was out at the AACTA Awards - Red Carpet on Wed,
there are  2   large responses to my blog, and mostly from Russia.

Seeing as I wasn't here,
and did not put any entries up,
I would hope that no-one has put any fake entries up on my blog while I was away.
I live in a share-house, so I have no control over anyone getting into my computer
while I'm out, as I can't carry it around with me all the time.

If any fake blog posts have been put up on my site,
(as I can't see them at this end),
I do not associate myself with them,
and do not condone that this is happening.

So, to all those who follow my blog,
please be aware,
that if it doesn't quite sound like something that I would say,
then it may not be from me.

Kind Regards.
Katherine

The 6th annual AACTA Awards,
culminated on Wed 7 Dec 2016,
at The Star Event Centre (Casino)
in Sydney, Australia.

These awards are held,
to celebrate the year's achievements
in Australian Cinema and Television.

Celebrities arriving,
included Michael Caton, below,
being interviewed,
with his back to my camera.

And "Mel Gibson", talking to Edwina Bartholomew, a presenter for Channel 7 (Australia).

There were many other celebrities arriving while I was there, including,

Paul Hogan,
Geoffrey Rush,
Cosentino,
Sacha Baron Cohen,
Isla Fisher,
Boy George,
Josh Thomas, and,
Bonnie Sveen.

Here's the paparazzi view  :)

I think the crowd watching on,
was having just as much
a good time,
as the celebrities !!

But please,
sightseeing buses,
don't block the view !!

And here's to all those
hard working technicians
behind the scenes
bringing the event to life.

These are the various
television station's
mobile communication set-ups.

Congratulations on a
successful AACTA Awards event  :)
