The Completion of NaBloPoMo

NaBloPoMo is finally over for another year and whilst I have enjoyed the challenge of posting every day, I am glad it is over. There are days when there are not simply enough hours to find the time to squeeze in writing a decent blog post and days when my brain is too fired [...]

Late Night Shopping

I went and did my Christmas shopping tonight. Now before you think I am a totally organised person, it is worth mentioning that my family celebrates Christmas a couple of weeks early. My entire family lives 200km north from where I do and traveling on Christmas Day is a complete nightmare. Therefore, we [...]

Niche Blogging

There is niche blogging and then there is blogging on a subject about which you didn’t think a blog would even exist, Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians falls into the latter category. It is simply a collection of photos of men who really do look like old lesbians, some of them very creepily [...]

Revenge of the Packrat

I am a self-confessed packrat. I hate to throw anything away cause as soon as I throw it away I will invariably find a use for it. I had a Hawaiian shirt that I had for years and a week after I threw it out I got an invitation for a loud shirt [...]

NaBloPoMo Fatigue

NaBloPoMo is wearing me down. I have nothing of substance to say, but because of NaBloPoMo, I have to post. It probably doesn’t help that I am posting after a long day at work, but before dinner. I am tired and hungry and that does not equal creativeness.

Neighbours from Hell

It is true that you can’t choose your family, but it is equally true that you can’t choose your neighbours. You may find yourself with wonderful neighbours like I am fortunate to have, but you may find yourself living next door to someone like Joan.
Over a beer at the pub a year ago, a [...]

Stolen Content?

I was checking out my Technorati rating this morning when I noticed I was being linked to on a site I had never heard of. Curious to see who would be linking to my blog, I headed over to TechFiveSix all interested to see what post of mine they thought interesting enough to mention. [...]

YES!!!!!

Howard has conceded, Rudd has claimed victory and it looks highly likely that Howard will also lose his seat.
I am going to bed one extremely happy vegemite. It has been a long eleven and a half years under the Howard government during which Australia has become a much meaner and selfish society. Maybe, [...]

Voting in the Rain

It is weird drizzly day here in Sydney – cold one moment and humid the next as I joined my neighbours at the local high school around lunchtime to vote. Unlike other years, there was actually a line so we stood sheltering from the drizzle waiting to vote for about 15 minutes. Long enough [...]

A Wrap Up of the Election Campaign

It has been a long six months, but finally we are less than 12 hours away from the polling booths opening. There is now a media blackout on everything campaign related and all Australians can breathe a sigh of relief and get down to the difficult decision of deciding who to vote for tomorrow [...]
