I think of myself as granny Kaye amongst lots of 'Spring Chickens' on Steemit.

Let me say a wee bit more about myself ...

I live in Australia. I am a mature-age student finishing my PhD. The question I am answering in my thesis 'What is the Spiritual and Cultural Medicine in Yarning?' Yarning is an Aboriginal form of communication. I am a research participant as I have Aboriginal ancestry on my father's side of the family.

I have recently upgraded my skills in developing Shopify websites; I am a newbie at that along with Steemit.

I have a great dog. It's summer here so he's had a haircut, unlike in the photo. He's a Puli (Hungarian poodle), which means he's a very active herding dog. His name is Buksi.

He's great company for me. He nudges me for lots of walks and fetching his squeaky toy chicken. He's demanding and mouthy and I love him.

I love to paint mostly in acrylics, but sometimes also in oils. I have Aboriginal ancestry and was taught by Elders to create traditional art. Here is one of my dot paintings.

I will be blogging about my research, being a Jurassic aged research participant, my dog, art and will try not to bore you with a website selling men's photochromatic sunglasses. Some of my posts will be 'how to do things'.

Stay tuned ... I'm a bit nervous but will get better at this.
