I was a bit bored while waiting in the hairdresser’s this morning for my new colour to set and so I had a quick flick through Flickr on my mobile. And what should I see but Leigh giving me a dig about how she hadn’t seen any evidence of me using my new macro lens. [...]
I hate to admit it but I usually do anything to avoid answering the door. Random people dropping in has a tendency to annoy me so I figure unless someone has made an appointment, I’m just not answering that knock on the door. The only exception to the rule is Australia Post deliveries and couriers, [...]
I spent most of the summer waiting for the last week in January to rock around so all the kids can go back to school. Of course, I don’t have any myself but I have the distinct misfortunate of being the only childless house in a street full of school aged children. They spend their [...]
I’d like to know exactly why it is that as soon as there is anything that comes with the instructions “some assembly required”, I always tend to think it can’t be too difficult. After all, if it was too difficult to do, then they would sell it whole – or at least warn you that [...]
I remember the first time I visited Tasmania. It was an exciting time, my first “big” trip away as a family interstate. We had a wonderful time travelling across the island over a few weeks, making the most of the time we had despite the sometimes inclement weather. The Tasmanian wilderness really struck a chord [...]
It’s only when I go sifting through my hard drive that I realise just how many photos I’ve taken of the cats. Over the last 2yrs, I’ve accumulated around 1200 shots of passable quality. Thanks to the digital age, I’m not forced to choose one shot over another to put in an album. Now that [...]
As part of my remuneration package, I get a professional development bonus to use for continuing education expenses. If you don’t use it by the end of two years, they pay it out minus the tax of course. Of course, I could use it for a conference or perhaps for continuing education since they’ve paid [...]
So the first fortnight (plus a bit) is over and I’ve still managed to take my photo a day. Woot! I might even last longer than I did at the last 365 challenge. I put my little collage together and then realised that I didn’t put them in the right order that they were taken. [...]
So I decided to get a little bit more serious about the whole weight loss thing and I said casually to my doctor that I might want to see a dietitian. I imagined that I would go there, sit down and go through what I currently eat and be told the things I already knew [...]
Well I’ve finished my 52 Blessings challenge from last year but I’ve kind of gotten used to blogging on a Sunday, or at least having a regular weekly reason to blog. I was thinking of continuing on with the 52 Blessings thing but the well was running pretty dry by Week 52. Against my better [...]
