out for lunch

Australia

A pelican sitting on a streetlight,
A cockatoo eating my TV aerial.
An opossum stealing cookies from the coffee table,
And a kookaburra killing dead meat.

I got stung by a caterpillar,
Bitten by an ant.
Killed by a red back spider,
And killed again by a red belly black snake.

Dead flat on my back,
In the hot red dust.
Under a gum tree,
Scoring a sunburn.

Oh God did you really create Australia,
Or were you just having fun that day?
Did you just get out of bed on the wrong side?
Or did you just have a little too much to drink?

Australia is featured in my book titled Ta!. Ta! can be purchased at late for supper for €13.45

Muscles ache a little, at least for me, but a fun day was had at the fun run. Team Vineyard was Mattijs who ran the 10km, Me who ran the 6km. Sharon and Danius who walked the 3km, Ieva who skateboarded the 3km and Vika  who scooted the 3km. A great day.

Well I started running in the cold and rain, 30mins and 6km later my noggin was burnt. And in case you missed it I was running for Otago, probably the only person doing that. I had a good day, oh it hurts so good!

Birthday party at our home Wavy Knowes in the 1970s. This has Kel in it, he’s the boy with the dark green hat and light blue/dark blue jersey sitting on the chair. That’s his sister Mandy with the light green hat sitting in the chair to his left.

Dear Friends

I guess one of the highlights of the last quarter was the self-publishing of my book Saint Nobody. This book consists of some of my best every poetry and is totally focused on the lives of friends of mine who live in a local children’s home. It is a sad, but powerful book. You can purchase it from me at late for supper for €10.75 or from my Lulu shop for €11.95.

Both Saint Nobody and Ta! are now available in New Zealand libraries.

Other big news for me this quarter is that Weebly the host that I use, upgraded their site to allow for commerce. I encourage you to visit late for supper and check out how good my website is looking. Thank you Weebly.com

I now have seven sets of ‘Home Made Cards‘ for sale, including a new set called Flowers By the Wayside these can be purchased from late for supper for €13.50 per set of twelve.

These some of the photos that are on my Flowers By the Wayside cards.

late for supper now uses ecological envelopes and still supports iKhaya le themba, Home of Hope.

I have been trying hard to prepare cards for commercial printing, but seem to hit stumbling black after stumbling block in the process. But watch this space, because there will be commercially printed later for supper cards in the near distant future.

Thanks to the upgraded website, I now have some of my art on-line for sale. Please check it out here. These are some of my paintings.

At long last I have finished writing Clueless in America and am now depending on volunteers in the editing process. My goal is to send this book out to publishers.

I am in the process of writing and collating a poetry book titled Byways, Alleyways and Cobblestones.  I have yet to decide if this will be one book or three books, I will self-publish them again with Lulu.

Other big news is; now is the time for me to be writing my earthly science-fiction children’s book, titled The adventures of Captain Chambers and Princes Moea. If you would like to donate to the cafe-coffee-fuel that it takes for me to write, please click here.

late for supper now has its own facebook and twitter pages. Facebook people please sign in as a fan.

And that brings us to the end of our update.

Thank you so much for your support,
Cheers Kel

Hello

Over the next three weeks I hope to be spending some time in cafes writing my children’s story. The book will be called The Adventures of Captain Chambers and Princess Moea’. It is a mildly science-fiction story that is based on earth. The story focuses on a girl called Lucy who finds a lost spaceship.

My prayer is, that I can keep the story short and simple, suitable for children and beautifully written. I will not be blogging this story until I have illustrated it. It will not be illustrated until I have finished editing  ‘Clueless in America‘.

Would you like to be part of this project? If so you can buy my coffee, thus allowing me to languish for hours in the cafe. I write so much better in cafes.

So please click on the ‘COFFEE FUEL’ button and donate for me a cuppa coffee.

Also a quick thanks to those of you who have previously sponsored my writing through ‘Coffee Fuel’. If you would like to read my ‘Coffee Fuel’ chapters, click here.

Cheers and thanks Kel.
