T’was the night before Christmas…
I must admit it doesn’t feel like Christmas. The sky is blue, there is enough sun coming through to deceive one and the clouds are being blown through the sky by a most ferocious wind. Although I’ve become accustomed to Christmas without snow, it never fails to disappoint me. However, even if there...

Better late than never!
I can’t believe it’s already the 23 rd December and I’ve only just written my Christmas cards. Of course I have done better than last year when I just didn’t bother writing any at all! I even managed to write a one-page report on this year’s happenings with my family. I’ve photocopied it and...

Last day of work for the year!
Yesterday the University closed its doors until January 3 2006, although I won't be returning to work until the 4th. I'm looking forward to not having to get out of bed in the morning if I don't want to. I'm also looking forward to not having to go to bed early if I don't want to. Hmmm it seems as...

How quickly one year goes!
In an effort to keep friends and family up to date (for once in my life) I’ve written a page long summary of what myself and the boys have been up to. I will buy some Christmas cards this week once work is closed and, although they will reach everyone far too late for Christmas, I will have made the...

T'is the season to be...
Charitable. There are so many people in this world who are worse off than we are. I know this is a standard cliché, but it is true. World wide natural disasters like tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes have stripped people of their families and friends as well as their homes and possessions. Wars...

Riots in Australia – racism blamed
Apparently it made world news, so many of you would have already heard of the riots in Sydney over the last few days. The southern beaches of Sydney looked more like a war zone than a casual family leisure area. From what I've heard, the riots started after two lifeguards were allegedly bashed by a...

Invitations are coming out of the woodwork!
My son is unwell tonight so I’m not taking him to training. I must admit being at home on a Thursday night has left me feeling a bit weird, like I’m missing out on something. The only thing I’m missing out on is sitting in an uncomfortable stadium watching sweaty boys run up and down the court!...

I DID IT!!!
I worked out how to add a pic to my sidebar! OK, so it is not the best looking pic of me - I can see all my chins here, but it shows you my new hair color.

Pushing, pulling and stretching myself
No, I’m not writing about my workouts at the gym! Over the last couple of weeks of limiting my time on the computer, I’ve realised just how much I was previously asking of myself. I used to get up at 6am, do a load of laundry while getting ready for work, work an 8 hour day and then race home to get...

I could explain my absence by telling you of my abduction by aliens
But I would be lying. I could appease your curiosity by delving into the exciting happenings of the last week; the lotto win of millions, the proposals by princes, the acceptance of my first novel for publishing… Unfortunately, none of the above happened. I haven’t even written a novel yet! No, my...
