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 […]

Friday night doesn’t seem to be the best time for coming up with an interesting blog post. I am determined not to miss another day though with June fast coming to an end. If anything, this year’s blogjune has made me realise how little time I spend writing. If you can be bothered trawling back […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
