| dull powerpoint | November 19, 2011 | I look forward to the Saturday that I don’t spend it mainly inside sitting at my computer. 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 […] |
| Thoughts on Mrs Carey’s Concert | September 23, 2011 | On Monday evening I sat down to watch Mrs Carey’s Concert, the documentary by Bob Connolly and Sophie Raymond. It followed the “trials and tribulations’ of Mrs Carey – music teacher at a Sydney girls’ school – over two years as she prepared her school’s musicians for a concert at the Opera House. Yes, that’s […] |
| holidays: I’m doing them wrong | August 12, 2011 | So this week I have officially been on holidays. All that really means is that I didn’t go into work (except for Tuesday and Thursday for an hour each time).

| gushing I know…. | May 19, 2011 | Where’s Wendy? I’m sure this is question you’ve all be asking yourself as you obsessively check The Spiralling Shape to see if I’ve managed to write a new post in the last two weeks. My apologies. I have no single excuse. Life is getting hectic with a week until the end of term, an assignment […] |
