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…
There is a lot of architecture going on in Watson’s Bay. Chiefly, there is a weatherboard, slightly nautical look that struck me as an architectural cross between The Ghost and Mrs Muir and Admiral Boom’s house from Mary Poppins. It intrigued me and I would have taken photos except that I felt a bit awkward about snapping pictures of…
It’s not exactly a strenuous bushwalk, but the walk down to the top of Wentworth Falls from the carpark and picnic grounds is a nice way to spend an hour. There are some steps, so if you haven’t been before, be prepared for a huffy and puffy walk back up the cliff (unless you are…
Last week’s Friday photos theme was trees. I managed to get a photo up into the group for the first time in a few weeks – it was this one, called ‘Digital Wattle’ from my trip into town to the Vivid festival. As always happens when the Friday photos theme goes up, I have other…

Social networking is the process of using social media tools to build a network of friends, colleagues, professionals, or business contacts,…
I know this seems like a weird topic to insert into the middle of my series of Virtual Advent Calendar posts, but here it is anyway. I promise this won’t be a morbid or depressing post! Stay with me if you start to wonder where this post is going – it does come together. During…
During June I participated in a project called ‘blog every day in June‘, along with a bunch of other library types. It was great fun, although challenging to come up with a new blog post every single day for 30 days (plus get involved in the project by reading other blogs and commenting). Anyway, at…
Last week I got me a new MacBook. I did need a new computer, honestly. And it was probably time to do the switch from Windows to Apple. I dithered a bit (ok a lot) about whether to replace my laptop with another laptop or to go the whole hog and lash out on a…
