Electronic vs Hard Copy?
We went to the iPad information evening at school last night. After getting over the heart palpitations at the cost (by the time you argue with yourself over 16gbs/32gbs and which protective case you are probably looking at $700), I was struck by the thought that the text books these kids use will be on their iPads. Given the weight of the … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo – You’ve Got A Friend
Hope your week ahead includes good company. We are crawling towards the end of the year, kids are tired and cranky and completely over school. I still haven't thought about Christmas. Are you a Christmas Eve shopper or have you had gifts on layby for months, brought them home, wrapped and under the tree a good number of weeks before they are … [Read more...]
So I Write the Bucket List and Then The World Ends
I finally get around to writing my bucket list and then I discover rather than a leisurely lifetime to complete it I've got a month. Apparently the Mayans failed to continue their calendar beyond 21st December 2012 so now everyone is in a panic that we bite the bullet this year just before Christmas. Hold off on the Christmas shopping … [Read more...]
Creating my Bucket List/Living List
I am at week two of my Diet, Question, Try Not to Kill the Ones You Live With Challenge. Aside from the whole failure to meditate problem of the first week I have encountered another issue. My title is unwieldly. When I tried to create it as a "category" on my blog it didn't fit in, only the last part appeared in the tag "Kill The Ones You Live … [Read more...]
45 Years – This Is What’s Been Happening.
Cars without seatbelts. One last man hanged. Postcodes introduced. Aboriginal people got the vote (for real). A Prime Minister drowned. A peacemaker was murdered. The Beatles crooned. A heart transplanted. Man walked on the moon. A test-tube baby was born. A sheep cloned. They sang at Woodford. While Watergate signalled a … [Read more...]
A Plea to Gen Y Social Media Inventors
Dear Gen Y Techno Nerds I'm calling an amnesty. Could you please stop the invention of any more social media. Just for a little while. Until I get my head around the ones you've already created. I've done my best. I've Tweeted, Facebooked, Instagrammed, Pinned. I know there is so much more out that, but my frail mind just can't take … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo – Blooming
Here's the full shot of one of the pictures I collaged for the "Green" challenge yesterday. I hope your week is full of sunshine and colour. … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Green
Kermit lamented the difficulties of "being green". God knows he had enough on his plate trying to deal with Miss Piggy without the added pressure of green-phobia. The nasty remarks by people who couldn't see past his top-to-toe greenness to discover the kind, loving frog inside. I have a lot of empathy for the little guy, I know the pressure of … [Read more...]
Man-Made
I live in a place of great natural beauty, our beaches are pretty impressive. However, on the man-made side of things we haven't actually excelled. There's not a lot of great architecture or design in my town. When "man-made" came up for the photo challenge the first thing that came to mind was our Glasshouse, an arts and entertainment facility … [Read more...]
