This Saturday the World Party will be held at the Hobart Town Hall. The World Party was thought up by Stephen Estcourt and he says,
” World Party is being held in a measure in memory of Zhang Tina Yu, a young Chinese student undertaking an accounting degree at UTAS, who was murdered in New Town on 25 June 2009. Whilst quietly remembering Tina however, the event is designed to offset the isolation and fear that members of the International Student Community can feel whilst living in Tasmania and to highlight that this should not be the case.”
I think that the World Party is a wonderful chance for ordinary Tasmanians to show the international community that we aren’t a bunch of racist bogans and that the vast majority of Tasmanians welcome people from all walks of life.
So that is where Veronica and I will be on Saturday.
Sunday is the Spring Festival at Oatlands and apparently it is a great family day out as well. I will be helping fellow ceramicist Lisa Rudd and members of the community make a ceramic mural.
It is going to be heaps of fun.
So if you would like to sample a variety of food from all over the world and listen to great music come along to the Town Hall on Saturday.
If you would like to play in the mud with me, come along to Oatlands on Sunday and we will have a blast.
That is my weekend organised my lovelies, What are you doing?

Well obviously I would love to go… on the other hand it has made me remember that there is a jumble sale on at the local school. With swanky new knee brace I wonder if I will manage to come away unscathed!
Preferring if I could to attend your event but practicalities ‘n all I probably won’t quite make it. I am actually quite jealous its right up my street.
The rest of the weekend I will be looking for the ceramic that I love which I mentioned as it seems to have disappeared from the place it should be. That bugs me. The place may be untidy but its supposed to be organised chaos.
I hope you & Veronica have a brilliant time.
Well, I have a Powerball ticket for tonight but don’t hold your breath lol!!!
Hope you all have a wonderful time;-)
Would be there if I could, but instead I will be buried in reading, research and re-drafting of the first chapter of the text. In the midst of that, I may get a bit of cooking done and some creative writing … there’s a poems in my depths … actually, two. They’ll well up when they’re ready.
Really excited about a catch up Kim
I would love to come and play in the mud with you. Instead I’ll be playing in potting mix.
Both events sound like fun. We will be closer to home at Wellfleet’s annual OysterFest…mmm…great food, crafts, music, and oyster shucking competitions! They close Main Street down altogether for the crowds.
Gawd, I love the word booger.
