I'M BACK!

Hi everyone! I'm back! Sorry if I didnn't write for a couple of weeks, but there was no internet connection on the tall ship in the middle of the Whitsundays and the connection on Heron Island (via satellite)was so slow that by the time I was connected to my e-mail or blogit, the time I bought...

Shopping for wetsuits

The funeral went quite well, it was peaceful and perfect setting for this woman who loved the bush. The cemetary is located in a forest close by Mapleton and has only a few other tombs, one of which being the grave of her 3rd husband. She was a woman with a witty sense of humour and rather strong... Sign in to see full entry.

A funeral on a sunny day

It won't be a very funny day today: we are going to the funeral of the mother of one of my sisters in law. But it won't be a very sad affair either; she had been really sick for the past few years (with Alzeimer) and couldn't even recognize her own children and grand-children. My mother in law told...

In Australia

That's it! We're here! it took 29 hours in airport and planes, plus 1 and a half hour of bus, but we're in Australia! And the condo we are renting is really fantastic: big windows along the side facing the Pacific ocean and the Maroochydoore River, with good size balcony in the rising sun! And Son...

In airport

there we are: in the airport waiting for our plane to depart for Vancouver, then Sydney and Birsbane. I was agreably surprise how fast we went through security and that we won't need to pick up our lugages before arriving in Brisbane. OK. the computer juice is going down (not surprising as Son has...

Saying Goodbyes...

Last day at work... I won't miss the job but I will miss the people: they were a nice bunch to work with. A rather heteroclite bunch as well, with young ones of about 22 years of age to more mature ones pass 60, and with a wide range of education and views on the world. Not at all what I had...

Count down

Thank you all for your kind encouragements! All try to work some more on it this summer (between 2 trips here and there!LOL) And I started the count down to Saturday. The flight is at 5pm which is not bad, but then it'll be like 2 am for us when we take the next plane in Vancouver for Sydney. We're... Sign in to see full entry.

I have a dream...

Now, Vogue is putting ideas, more ideas, into my mind! Publishing real books with a real publisher! Now wouldn't that be something? You know a real book, not only an e-book (although there is nothing wrong with that either...) about my little German experience! With photos and drawings and of... Sign in to see full entry.

Little note on Low blood pressure

After reading some comments and talking to some coworkers, I realized that, although most people know about High blood pressure, few are aware of the Low blood pressure condition. Probably because in most case it is not life threatening. We measure blood pressure by applying pressure onto the left... Sign in to see full entry.

In the fast lane...

It's nice to see that in these days and age of fast lane and violence there are still people who cares about small creatures... On my way back from grocery shopping, going at around a 100km/hr on the north bound highway, I, and 5 other cars in front of me, and countless behind me, had to hit the... Sign in to see full entry.
