It's been a busy two weeks, hence my not checking in last Sunday. I'm settling into my new job well and am pleased that I made the change. We're on the countdown to the end of Year 12, four days of classes, a couple of assignments, and two exams to go. What a whirlwind. Zeus … Continue reading The Week That Was…

International dog day: Mine celebrated by trying to blend into the rug that he is NOT allowed to lie on! Well played Zeus, you picked your day right but still no. ~~~ A thing of joy (that only readers will understand): I was early to the ebook scene, straight in once they were released and … Continue reading The Week That Was…

I had a few plants on my front balcony with my bird statues and I decided this weekend that a little expansion was in order, particularly the injection of some flowers.
