I'm so tired! I spent four hours yesterday in a marathon length salsa class, which was very good - now I need to practice, although today, I can't contemplate moving at all....
After nearly fourth months... * I'm looking to change jobs again (I have been at my current one since October 07 and it's a dead end to nowhere) * I'm taking tango lessons (I...
Yesterday was an unfortunate day - a stray cat has been visiting my parents house for some weeks. This cat was clearly an unneutered Tom, so really only ever turned up for...
Nearly a month since I last checked in - a long time, even for me these days. The last time I wrote I was writing about NaNoWriMo - which I finished and am now doing a...
I'm pushing ahead with my word count which is a relief. Wherever I am with it, I'm still not sure what's going to come after the next couple of thousand words. but so far,...
It's that time of year again, and I'm now well in the middle of NaNoWriMo, the annual 50,000 word dash in November. You can find all about it at nanowrimo.org I've...
It's been quite a busy week or so - I've been working very hard (for a change) and when I've not been working, I've been doing nothing (no housework either). This weekend...
I resigned from my job on Monday, and today I was told that my notice would be abridged so that I can start at my new job on Thursday, instead of some time early November. ...
Things are still pretty tense with the work situation but in the next week I will have accepted a new job offer (I have one already, and I'm likely to get another next week, so...
Just a quick updfate - I'm having a stormy time at work as upheavals higher up are making everyone reconsider their position. I will probably be following my boss to...
The APEC media circus is gathering pace in Sydney by the day, with worse to come. APEC is the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation, and a Leader's summit takes place every year....
Last weekend, the weather was unseasonably good and I went out to Jibbon point, near Bundeena, a village south of Sydney where a lot of people have holiday houses, and took...
All good things must come to an end and one thing that's ending is a troublesome colleague's (RC) 5 month absence on holiday. He'll back amongst us all in the middle of...
I saw the Barber of Seville last night, which was wonderful. In particular, the set was amazing, influenced by Gaudi, a Spanish (Catalan) architect - I didn't know this...
It's been another cold week. My father has just been on a short trip to Cairns, which is in North Queensland - such a pity I couldn't go too! In the meantime, not a lot...
The Opera was a great way to end the week - the Abduction from the Seraglio was a funny opera (Mozart is like that). The story is about a man who rescues his beloved from...
The barbecue went ahead, even though it rained. We had it mostly indoors and on the back verandah (although I don't know why as it was cold outside). At the house...
Well, it's the end of another week, and it was an improvement on last week, so that makes it a good one in my estimation! I have a new heater which seems to be better than the...
...does not get any better. I found a baby bird this week but it ended up dying. That's nature's way, but I could have done without the experience this week. So I'm...
It's not been a very good week so far - three separate people have blown me off over lunch dates or phone dates, one for a good reason (she has a back injury) the others because...
I bought an electric blanket yesterday and it's wonderful. It is actually really more of an electric underlay, but it does the job of heating everything up before...
It's been another busy week - it wasn't my intention to go without a midweek post, but that's how things turned out- earlier this week I wasn't getting home before nine pm and...
There have been several days of bad weather, not only in Sydney (where similar storms are not all that unusual) but along the east coast of New South Wales. The storms...
