On this day

Quick! I’m in need of a meme or today’s post is in danger of becoming another photo with a few lines, like yesterday’s. Inspired by Con, who was in turn inspired – here it is: I’m reading – not much at the moment, (sorry Book Club!) Plenty of blog posts though I’m watching – cooking shows on…

Shuffle your life music

This is an oldie but a goodie and one I’ve done before, although I don’t think I blogged about it. I found it as one of those old ‘notes’ on Facebook from about 4 years ago!  It’s weird how some songs just ‘fit’. It’s also weird that I have Elvis Presley in my music collection…..…

The first day of Christmas

So I’ve decided, a day late, to join Fiona in the Twelve Days of Christmas blogging challenge. I guess that means I need to put up 2 posts today. On the first day of Christmas I gave myself a new Pandora bracelet. I’d been promising myself one as a treat for me when all my…

My Dewey Life

One of the fun things about being a reader and commenter during #blogjune is the variety of stuff on offer!  With thanks to Kate, who brought this to my attention – a meme of sorts! Go here to express yourself as a Dewey number. I do talk a lot I guess….. Clare’s Dewey Decimal Section:…

A bucket list – 10 Oz books to read

A meme of sorts! Thanks to Snail for posting First Tuesday’s (2012) list of 10 Oz books to read before you die. I cynically add the 2012 as some of these books are quite recent and I imagine that if the experts revisited this list in 10 years time it may look quite different. As…

7 things to keep me busy

I’m inspired by Bookgrrl’s ‘7 things’ lists over the past week – I’ll probably stick to just one list, just today. I’m still learning to crochet, I’m not patient with crafts and if I’m struggling to get it right I tend to put it away for months at a time. Anyway, I’ve got out the…

The one word meme

I had to jump on the bandwagon. Thanks to Bookgrrl and Strawberries of Integrity for bringing it to my attention. 1. Where is your mobile phone? here 2. Your hair? short 3. Your mother? Canberra. Probably. Maybe Berridale or Cooma or Jindabyne (she’s CWA and gets around!) 4. Your father? Canberra 5. Your favourite food? usually…

A meme of sorts

I did a Facebook status thing today that went like this (sort of, I’ve amended the words a bit): ‎ 1) Discover the #1 single in your country of origin in the week you were born; 2) Find it on YouTube; 3) Post it in a blog post without shame. After a bit of searching…

Alphabet meme

I love a meme this far into the #blogjune challenge – and today I have a sore throat as well so this is perfect! Thanks to Jo & Tania for posting: A. Age: 44 B. Bed size: Queen C. Chore that you hate: You mean there are chores other people like??? Sigh, I particularly hate…
