Inspired by Bookgrrl’s post on 5 things that are the same or different to 5 years ago (the last time the Census rolled around) I thought I’d reflect on this too. I had to stop and think about the question of where I was living 5 years ago – it seems like a lifetime ago…
I did this last year towards the end of the Blog Every Day in June challenge & I think it’s worth doing again to remind myself that I do other than just blog! So, here’s a list of 30 things I’ve done this month other than write blog posts: 1. Went to Canberra to visit…
WordPress run a ‘daily post’ program, with a new question or theme posed each day. There are hardy souls out there participating in a ‘post a day’ challenge, but I’m happy just following the twitter feed and using the occasional idea as a catalyst for a post. The question “if you got a tattoo what…
Writing this on my iPhone as I wait to meet Bookworm for another theatre production – part of her HSC Drama studies is writing reviews. This time in 5 months the HSC will be over. Finished. Nothing but a memory. In the meantime, there’s this lovely sight as I sit in the Opera House forecourt…

Partly a great blog post I picked up on WordPress’ freshly pressed page about being facebook friends with your parents, partly this cartoon from Unshelved and partly some stuff going on at the moment with my own kids. It’s a fine line we parents of teenagers walk,…
I just read Bookgrrl’s post on the communication shutdown for Autism that’s a worldwide event today, 1st November. I too, have shutdown for the day, but as I didn’t have the foresight to blog about that before the event, my twitter mates will just have to read about it afterwards (because I think publicising this…
Last week the General graduated from high school. Of course, we haven’t had the HSC yet, so technically it’s not over, but his years of formal education between 9am & 3pm 40 weeks of the year are over. Finished. Ended. It’s really real. I vividly recall his first day at school – in fact his…
We are about to embark on several great adventures here in the 3 ring circus! We have the HSC this year for the General – already that doesn’t seem to be going too well….. In addition, I go back to full time work for the first time in 18 years this week – that is,…
Not so much how to worry I guess, as how to know when to worry, or when to stop…. I alternate between worrying myself sick about The General – and wanting to slap him around a bit. He frustrates me endlessly – I am not sure which frustration is greater – the bits that remind…
What's next?
