First Day Back

October 5th, 2009 · No Comments

So many things happen in a day at school. Today was no exception. When you interact with so many people, both staff and students it makes for a very full day. It was great to catch up with Rhonda. I hadn’t seen her all holidays and I missed her. I chatted with many of the […]

Halfway

September 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I haven’t blogged since last week! The weather turned a bit rough so I turned to inside activities mostly, though we did get some gardening in on Thursday. It was long overdue with some garden beds needing to be mowed rather than weeded. I want to do so much outside it is overwhelming to start sometimes. […]

Harry Potter

July 25th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Asha and I went to gold class to watch ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ this week. I missed Tom. I have such great Harry Potter memories with my kids. The most amusing was when we lived at our old house and the kids climbed up on the garage roof, with a chair each […]

Wintry Nights

June 9th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I have to go out tonight. We have an information session at school for potential mentors. I can’t believe anyone will turn up on a cold, wet and dark night like tonight. I’ve been dreading it since I got home. It’ll be better once I actually leave so I can stop the dread! Darin will […]

Weddings

February 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Tonight I watched ‘Four Weddings and A Funeral’ again. I haven’t watched it for years and I forgot the ending, which was kind of a bonus. It reminded me of the youtube clip that has been mentioned on Twitter and some blogs in the last week ‘Brian and Ellen’s Wedding ‘Music Video’. It’s quite watchable […]

MIFF: Kate Bush Under Review

July 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Last night after work I headed to the city to see the film ‘Kate Bush Under Reveiw”, which I discovered last weekend whilst browsing what was offered at the Melbourne International Film Festival. I loved Kate Bush from the first time I saw ‘Wuthering Heights’ and have purchased every album she released as soon as […]

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 […]
