| 5 things about me | June 27, 2013 | These seems to be a little meme-ish today with the blogjune people so I’m giving it a go. 1. I haven’t eaten chicken for the last 19 years 2. I lived and worked in Hervey Bay for nearly three years in my early 20s. 3. I named my first cat Daphne after the character in […] |
| trending | June 26, 2013 | Today was the day my name trended on Twitter. They like me. They really like me. Actually they like Texan democrat Wendy Davis who made it through a 14 hour filibuster in an attempt to delay an anti-abortion vote. It ended in confusion but was a mighty effort. Here’s my fake moment of twitter fame. Glad […] |
| Monday pearls | June 25, 2013 | Could there have been a nicer start to the week than the gift of a pair of freshwater pearl earrings? I think not. After groaning my way to work on Monday morning and forgetting to put on any jewellery in the process, I was beautifully surprised by one of my dear colleagues who has just […] |
| bamboo handles | June 23, 2013 | I bought this bag for 12 dollars at a second hand shop in Tasmania recently. It’s green silk with bamboo handles. I love it. |
| silver, scarf, soup, screencasts, spacey | June 22, 2013 | I am in a better mood today (in comparison to yesterday’s post). After a yummy scrummy breakfast at Saskia’s I bought myself a little present. Why? Because we all deserve presents for being awesome and it’s perfectly acceptable to buy them for yourself. It’s been at least six weeks since I added to […] |
| Musing on nitwits | June 21, 2013 | Sometimes people say nitwit type things that are annoying. Example: Nitwit: What are you going to do when you leave work? Me: Finish my Masters in Library and Information Science. Teach the piano. Nitwit: Oh lovely. I can just see you in a library. Now, you might be wondering, Wendy, what’s the problem with that […] |
| View from the piano | June 20, 2013 | Here is a snippet of rehearsal on Monday night. Recorded in a very diy fashion with my iPhone. There were some strong basses missing and I was closest to sopranos so they come through more clearly than other parts. |
| the first “last” | June 19, 2013 | Today saw one of the first of many “lasts”. It was my last Orientation for STEPS students. For those of you who don’t know, STEPS (Skills for Education Preparatory Studies) is CQU’s enabling program. Some people call them preparatory or access programs. STEPS is now in its 26th year of operation and has a combined […] |
| Citrus Tuesday | June 18, 2013 | Somewhere in the universe it was decided that today was the day I would receive gifts of homegrown citrus. First my wonderful friend and colleague Helen brought me a huge bag of mandarins from her parents-in-law’s backyard. (I’m not sure about the plurals and apostrophe in that sentence but I’m off the clock so make […] |
| Lullabye | June 17, 2013 | It’s choir concert time this coming weekend and we all know what that means don’t we? Rehearsals in the church on Monday AND Thursday. I would like to thank Queensland’s winter for kicking in just in time to make it freezing in there. Apart from that, this is the time of choir that I like. […] |
