There’s been a couple of interesting articles pop up about email signoffs this week. There was also a fun twitter exchange as a few people shared their practices. It really got me thinking about mine so here we go. Kind Regards I tend to use this in work or semi-formal situations where I intend to […]

Goodness….this was going to be a post about International Women’s Day, Helen Razer’s blazing article and the Destroying the Joint project but after I started writing it I deleted the whole thing. I’ll just say this. I read Helen’s piece and Jenna Price’s response and I can see both their points of view and agree […]

Welcome one and all to the new and improved version of The Spiralling Shape. We have had a beautiful makeover thanks to the talented @Rocketpilot and we are now ready to face the world of the internets with renewed vigour. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the first post on The Spiralling  Shape […]

Well it’s been a big February so far. It took two weeks for me to be able to move back into my house properly. Even though I was sleeping here after a week of the flooding I had no hot water system so was living a strangely displaced existence with half my clothes at my […]

After waiting for the Burnett River to peak all night Monday and into Tuesday it stopped at around 9.5 metres.

The best thing I watched on TV this week was the documentary about Bill Hicks on ABC2 on Sunday night. Of course I recorded it and watched it on Wednesday but we won’t quibble over the details. I am ashamed I was not particularly familiar with Bill Hicks. I had heard his name here and […]

So this might well be a post about work. Yes, it is. This time last week I was very glad that I had got the whole “first day back at work after Christmas break” thing out of the way before a full week. All the little stresses with taking on a different role were starting […]

So it seems that today is the last #blog12daysxmas. I thought we had a day to go. I know I promised to write a post about what I read in 2012 but seriously, I didn’t keep track. That’s why I just signed up to goodreads now and started a 2013 shelf which I hope to […]

Today started a little inauspiciously. I woke up way too early and my brain clicked into gear immediately. My head was also a little woozy which I hate. I made myself do yoga breathing and this passed by the time it was time to get out of bed. I did my meditation before work and […]
