Ok I have found this new site (in Beta) called flickr. It allows you to create public and private galleries and as you can see post blog entries from them.

This is a nice single rose I photographed in Canberra.

Interesting marketing

Ok so we have all seen lollies with interesting facts on the wrappers, even toilet paper with stuff to read. Well the other day I saw something that just blew me away.

Now you are warned, I am going to be talking about feminine hygiene products.

Time for myself

Well I have two weeks of holidays! However it looks like my father-in-law might be staying for the long haul.

A couple of years ago he had a heart attack and a triple bypass operation, however he has not really recovered from this. Over the last two weeks that he has been here he has been getting worse. One stay in the hospital, 3 doctor visits and one specialist visit.

I hope he gets better soon.

Away and Sick

As you can see from Dani’s post, I am away again. 😥

This is my second last week away, before a few weeks holiday and then work in my home city. It has been so long since I have worked for a project within my normal field, in my home city I can hardly imagine it.

The projects I have been working on have got some press recently and it is nice to see that what I am doing is being noticed.

Today I am working from the appartment as I have a head cold I got off my son.

Fish and Visitors

Fish and visitors go off after 3 days. This is a favourite saying of a friend. And frankly …… I have had it with fish.

I haven’t had a week to myself (or with hubby) …. for months now. I am run off my feet with work and school, and when I get home, I seem to have a never ending stream of relatives using my home for a motel. More frustrating, hubby is forced to treat our home like a motel. His travel interstate means that the poor man is bombarded with concentrated wife troubles, coupled with the knowledge that all things ….. ahem 😳 … personal …. have been seriously disrupted. Roll on school holidays ……. maybe my visitor will go visit someone else. We can only hope.

Storm Brewing…

A storm is rolling in tonight, it is about 4pm and the storm in coming from the south-east. This is a bit early for our storm season, so it looks like it might be a very active season.

I’m special

This is my darling son’s latest favourite statement. This last week or so, everything I receive, in one way or another …. is as a direct result of being special.

two kisses goodnight …… because I am special
big hugs at school drop off …… because I am a special
special picture from school ……. because I am special

It makes you feel all warm and toasty ….. “I love you mum …. cause your special”.
