| Hand me a nikko pen | February 26, 2011 | Well look at me…studying again after vowing never ever to do such a thing in my whole entire life. Clearly, I have forgotten the trials and traumas of the PhD because I have enrolled into a Master of Information Technology (Library and Information Sciences) at QUT. I chose it because it offered the degree externally, […] |

| Snake at the screen door | February 20, 2011 | Well done Monday! Congratulations! You surpassed all your previous attempts by 7am. Not only did you provide me with a restless, disturbed sub-tropical night’s sleep with the prospect of a 34 degree day. I then awoke ridiculously early, bleary-eyed and tired. I thought to myself, I know – I shall start the week off the […] |

| full of beans | February 16, 2011 | I have started a new piano student this year…the younger brother of a delightful girl who I have been teaching since last year. This afternoon as I left work I wasn’t particularly enthused for my regular Wednesday piano lessons. I had spent the day, filing, checking class lists, filing, answering the phone and email, and […] |
| Laden with books | February 6, 2011 | Yesterday morning I went to our local book sale and in the above photo you can see the results of my restrained purchasing. For instance I didn’t even look at the fiction tables. Instead I confined my browsing to non-fiction, and a feeble attempt to get to the dvd/cd table where buyers were intent on […] |

Everyone was carrying their digital camera or phone. At first it was a bit of fun. We squelched through the park down to the edge of the bank.
