To paraphrase Captain Jack
Why is the words gone? This scene just does not want to come out and play with the computer. Maybe rum would help! In other news, I have managed to lose one of the little rubber ear thingys off my relatively new headphones! Now they poke my ear. I can't exercise in my...
Not the good scissors
If you grew up with a Mum like mine, you're probably familiar with the above phrase (I'm assuming it's not just an Australian thing...) In our house there were "good" scissors (roughly, the cooking scissors, mum's sewing scissors, the pinking shears). Any attempt to...
Photo frustration
I make no claims to be any kind of a photographer or even knowing much about photography but I would kind of like to know a bit more than I do now. I have friends and read blogs belonging to people who take such gorgeous pictures and I'd like to be able to as well. I...
RSS SOS
Like most of us who hang out a bit on the internet, I read blogs (possibly too many blogs but that's another post altogether). I don't use any sort of blog aggregator (basically, I cannot be bothered learning how to use one and setting it up etc etc). However I do...

Paul Newman has left us at the age of 83. I remember seeing The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when I was younger and being pretty taken with both Paul and Robert Redford. And I've liked them both ever since. Paul was a great actor, had gorgeous blue...
Excursion
Well the week has sped by in a blur of "you were sick last week and missed work and now you have even MORE work to do" at the day job and the inevitable, "yes I was sick last week and pushing it this week will make me sick again" dragging out the virus thing. Lots of...
If you’ve got it, flaunt it
About all I have to flaunt at the moment is a bug that knocked me out late in the evening of my birthday and has kept me in bed, sleeping and reading (yay for ebooks on the iPhone) for most of the two days since. So to entertain you until my brain starts to function...
Stationery lust part 2
This evening the girls decided that they might consent to send up a little info if I wrote longhand. And, more specifically, long hand on blue paper with black ink. Or, white paper with something turquoisey. Preferably a fountain pen. I don't even OWN a fountain pen....
Friday thirteen
Just because I was listening to the radio and something that made me kind of nostalgic came on. Thirteen of my favourite artists or albums (er Rock/Pop/Country category): U2: The Joshua Tree (for the sense of joy and exaltation in the music that just makes me happy)...
Time of the sign
Warning: potentially long post ahead. Like I have said before, it's my birthday tomorrow and maybe it's that (ie I'm a Virgo in Virgo season) or maybe it's being back at work and needing to remember everything I'm supposed to know and be working on or maybe it's...
