| the unexpected kindnesses of friends | June 25, 2014 | Completely stuck for today’s blogjune inspiration, I decided to see what I wrote about last year on June 25. Coincidentally, this June 25 and last June 25 have a lot in common. They are the days of the unexpected, kindly gift from friends. Last June 25 I was arriving at work, earring-less to be greeted […] |
| Ahab and the whale become good friends | June 24, 2014 | Little did I realise that in 2011, when I tentatively purchased my first Kindle, that it would change the way I read and consume books. My hoarding tendencies and love of books meant that I adored buying books in hardcopy. Whether it was to read once or many times, I had a […] |
| catch up day | June 23, 2014 | Today was a catch up day. I folded three weeks worth of clean washing. I now have clothes in the cupboard again. This means that I don’t have to rat through piles of laundry every morning looking for something to wear. I also caught up on getting food into the house. Yes, I bought groceries. […] |
| Have piano seat will travel | June 22, 2014 | Last night I decided to take my own adjustable piano stool to play at our choir concert. At our rehearsal on Thursday evening the seat with the piano in the hall annoyed me no end. It was too low and not adjustable. As a pianist it is rare that you ever perform on the instrument […] |
| caught up in a swirl of sound | June 21, 2014 | Since I moved back to Bundaberg I’ve been involved with the Bundaberg Orpheus Singers. I was excited to join a choral group singing in 4 part harmony. Believe it or not – not all regional centres have adult singing groups. I was happy to sing with the altos for the first few years. I liked […] |
| On not breaking the chain | June 20, 2014 | For anyone who follows me on instagram and twitter you will know I am doing the fmsphotoaday challenge. I was inspired by @jobeaz’s daily photos last year and decided to give it go myself for 2014. I am determined not to miss a day and I don’t think I have so far. I’m never going […] |
| the saddest thing today | June 19, 2014 | I spent another morning at the legal firm this morning learning about records management in the safe custody section. People put lots of different things in safe custody. The saddest thing today was a handwritten last will and testament and suicide note that we had to make a record. Now it’s in a packet with […] |
| am I a chick lit chick? | June 18, 2014 | This post is about books and reading and stuff so I must be a librarian in training after all? Is that how it works? (Jokes. Never a good start to a post.) At the recommendation of @rachwray I’ve been reading some Freya North. I didn’t really know where to start so I was guided by […] |
| avocado on crackers | June 17, 2014 | My highlights reel for the last 24 hours: 1. got a tweet on screen for Q and A 2. had two coffees and a delicious homemade florentine at lunch today 3. met a great librarian at the place where I’m going to do some of my industry placement 4. window shopped at Avenell’s 5. stayed […] |
| 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 […] |
