| And that is life | June 16, 2014 | Three great things happened today. 1. I went to the supermarket. I never have a huge amount of stuff but I’ve always avoided the self serve checkout machines. I tried them a few times when they first appeared but I found them stressful. They beeped when I didn’t remove my bagged items in a timely […] |
| Roy and HG…..now and then | February 19, 2014 | There’s been a little bit of discussion about Roy and HG’s current turn at the Sochi Winter Olympics. I’m the first to admit that I don’t think they are showing us their best work, constrained by the barely half hour varying timeslot on Channel 10 and the lack of interviews with athletes. It was a […] |
| to be an “accompaniste” | June 29, 2013 | I’ve finally started going through the treasure trove of choir programs and newspaper articles that date back to 1977. I’m scanning them in preparation for my cultural heritage research project. So hurrah for me in making a start. Today this caught my eye in a program from 1982. I wonder if I will ever graduate […] |

Of course, this is made more pleasant now that I am using my shiny new Macbook with it’s soft glowing keyboard and clear as crystal screen. Still, I would rather not be trying to whack together a presentation […] |
| View from my freshly dusted desk | August 7, 2011 | This morning I tidied and dusted my desk. Here’s what I can see while I sit at it. I dream of a spacious work area at home. I would love a separate office where I can spread out, have lots of filing cabinets, shelves with everything organised and in the one place. I long for […] |

| I need more days like this | July 8, 2011 | It’s Friday. I hope it will be the first of many this term when I can work at home. I persisted through the revisions of a paper all day. I did allow myself a morning coffee and banana and coconut bread this morning downtown. But then I came home and got stuck in and forced […] |
