I must say, a 12 day blogging challenge is much easier than a 30 day one….. Today is the end of #blog12daysxmas and also, co-incidentally the end of Part One of My Summer Break. I go back to work tomorrow for a week, then get to have another holiday before settling back into the 2014…
On the eleventh day of Christmas I started to get organised for our holiday in Jindabyne in a week’s time. I go back to work for a week on Monday, then we head off over the weekend for some time away. Today I started collecting tourist information, storing web pages in Evernote and marking them…
On the tenth day of Christmas I did more family stuff. My brother and his family were in Sydney for only 3 or 4 days, so it was really important to take time out to spend with them. Mum and dad came up from Canberra to have dinner with us all last night – together…
On the ninth day of Christmas I got to meet my 6 month old nephew. Born in the UK on my son’s 21st birthday, this is his ‘meet the family’ trip down under. He’s terribly cute, I already knew that from the photos and the skype call on Christmas Day but today I got a…
On the eighth day of Christmas, I forgot to blog! I also went on a drive to Wollongong, via the beautiful coastal villages and the stunning Sea Cliff Bridge Young Gun is on his L’s, so he drove all the way down and most of the way back. Fish and chips at Wollongong harbour, nice…
…is also the last day of the year. I’m not much into making New Year’s resolutions. However, I like this idea, this picture has been making the rounds of Facebook over the past few days. In spite of busy lives, good things do happen along the way and it’s nice to remember those, even if…
It really is my intention to do some study today. I’m on the last subject of my Masters in Information Studies (at least, I’m pretty sure it’s my last subject, I just need to wait for the office at CSU to reopen so I can confirm that. I think I’m being paranoid. I’m almost certain…
Today is a cross between a #blog12daysxmas post and one of my Daytripper posts. This morning I mentioned to some friends that I was taking pot luck for my walk today: I had half a thought of going to Bondi or Coogee and walking some of the beautiful coast track, but when I got off…
Hmmm, what shall I do today? I am fortunate enough to be working at a university library and as the entire University shuts down for 2 weeks over Christmas we have this enforced holiday every year, from a few days before Christmas until the day after New Year. It costs us a few days leave,…
On the third day of Christmas I saw a tiny baby bird in a tree. We headed out for another walk (I think I’ve walked about 13 kms in the past 2 days!), this time around the Cooks River at Kyeemagh near Sydney Airport. We sat down to rest, much to the chagrin of a…
What's next?
