Visiting Albury

July 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I left home on Saturday morning, heading towards Albury/Wodonga, with no real idea how to get there. I can read though luckily so I just followed the signs. I was staying at my old friend Glenn’s on Saturday night and had intended to visit Kat first in Albury. I had no idea how far away […]

10 Things I Hate About You

May 22nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

We had a lively discussion in my two year 9 English classes today. We’re studying  ‘Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You’.  I’ve viewed both films with two classes this month. For the last couple of years this unit has been popular with year 9 English classes. The conversations and comparisons create so […]

Patchwork Quilt Photo, coming soon….

April 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I wanted to take a photo of the cool patchwork hanging my Auntie Jude made me, to put on my blog today. It has gold and black paisley fabric on it and I love it. I’m having camera trouble though. I think I need to replace my rechargeable batteries. I haven’t used my camera as […]

Wind and Rain

April 2nd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Today my buddy Rhonda turned up early, well around 12.00, but I’d just got out of bed! I’d had a bit of a sleep deprived night. Tossed and turned and even rearranged the position of my bed in my room for better feng shui at around 4.00am, with too much on my mind. Many changes […]

Chocolat

March 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The perfect Easter movie is ‘Chocolat’. I often think of that scene where the mayor wakes up from a chocolate coma in the window of the Chocolate shop. I just love it. It is delicious and the perfect accompaniment to the excesses of the Easter season chocolates. Let’s face it, you can’t watch the film […]

Flu - Didn’t see that coming!

February 23rd, 2008 · 3 Comments

I woke up this morning and as the day has gone on, my body has ached, my eyes have watered and my nose has dripped. There have been a few sickies at school this week and I felt no inclination of it. I really felt no hint of being unwell. This is not usual for […]

How TV Effects Your Kids

August 27th, 2006 · No Comments

Yesterday I watched a great movie called Thumbsuckers. It contained a great line that has really made me think “Television is a Trojan Horse in our Homes” (Thumbsuckers). I don’t watch much TV anymore. In fact I reckon I would watch less than 2 hours a week. I don’t find any value in it. In […]

Da Vinci Code (the movie)

May 31st, 2006 · No Comments

It’s so good when you hear negative reviews of something. It allows you to have low expectation and be pleasantly surprised. I loved the book, as obviously many others on the planet did hence the whole bestseller thing for ages. Anyway, I enjoyed the film too.

Garden State

March 25th, 2006 · No Comments

The ‘Garden State’ cover is different in Australia to the one on the above website. I like ours better actually. It depicts a great scene from the movie.
The movie is awesome. Great movie, very funny scenes, touching issues and complications and the music is just what I am enjoying lately, Shins etc.
Yes it has been […]
