Cathy who I want to call rose had nothing to report she has been gardening, cutting back blackberries.

Jo also wrote to the Mercury and complained about a mans comment  when he wrote to the Mercury complaining about people in Woolongong who are disadvantaged. Jo had her say about his attitude.

We all used the words in different stories and poems.

Robyn read a piece from the Aussie Bible about Lent. In down to earth Aussie language.

Geoff read another part of his novel. Which is set in Japan. More character driven this time less description of the countryside.

Mandy read from her novel Birds Began to sing. Asked for suggestions and comments.

Exercise. Using the words that follows The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and I knew something was very strange, the moment I stepped into the room. Now write them in five different sentences using the same words.

Homework. What was in the room that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, it was very strange.
