  • Stars

    Some stuff I’ve come across while browsing online for Christmas present ideas. My problem is that I keep discovering stuff that I would like, and not necessarily things for the people that I’m shopping for: – For photographers, mugs that look exactly like Canon and Nikon lenses. And the Nikon one zooms. Too cool. –…

  • Early mornings

    I have decided that I live too far from Brisbane to do the Bridge to Brisbane again. I am not sufficiently enthusiastic about the event to make getting up at 3.45am worthwhile. I don’t particularly enjoy hanging around in a crowd of thousands of people, waiting for everyone to start making their way over the…

  • Keeping cool

    Using some of the limes I bought on the weekend, and cooling down with water filled with sliced limes and mint leaves. I was drinking this while watching news of the terrible bushfires in Victoria. My parents (and me, although I was far too young to have any memory of it) left their home behind…

  • Apples & limes

    At the fruit & vegie store this week – cheap limes, and lovely green apples. They look beautiful in the big blue glass bowl that I use for our fruit. Mum, living in the midst of the floods that are covering half the state, told me that last time she went to the supermarket all…

  • Book Round-Up for 2008

    In 2007, I read 173 books. I was aiming, in a vague sort of way, for a total of 200 books in 2008 (just for the pleasure of the round number). However, I didn’t quite make it – instead I read 183 books in 2008, including audio books. Best Nostalgic Journey I start re-reading the…

  • Bubbles

    We spent Christmas at the farm in Daintree, the whole family (in a way). I don’t know if we still call it the farm, as it’s hardly an accurate description – but “at the nature refuge” doesn’t have quite the same ring. It’s been many years since we were all together for a celebration up…

  • Transition

    I’m doing Triathlon Pink on the Gold Coast next weekend, an all-women’s triathlon raising money for breast cancer. It’s not a full triathlon – I think I might die if I attempted to do a full triathlon – and there’s three different lengths you can do. I’m doing the longest version – a 300m swim,…

  • “Running”

    My workplace has a personal trainer come in twice a week, and I’ve been taking advantage of the sessions, which work me far harder than I work myself at the gym.  I’ve been working harder at the gym as a result because now if I don’t feel exhausted at the end of a session I…

  • Droplets

    Another water drops shot taken at the Blue Dog Photography workshop.

  • Frozen liquid

    A bloke pouring water over his hand in a driveway in the sunlight can look very cool given the right shutter speed. Taken at a photography workshop with Blue Dog Photography at Mr Tamborine.
