Yesterday here in Australia, it was Australia Day, and for that we get a public holiday. (Australia is often known to Australians as the land of the public holiday, however, having spent time in Ethiopia, I now believe that Ethiopia is the true holder of that title!) We spent the day with friends, eating [...] I’m still plugging away at the website. I’ve been using Dreamweaver this time around, as I bought it since the last upgrade of the website. I must say that I am enjoying using it. Previously I handcoded everything, writing it in html. This was not the easiest thing to do, but I struggled through and [...] I spent Saturday working on the Vetty Creations website. I need to add information about the new book, and that’s going to require quite a bit of a re-jig. I made some changes to some files, and on trying to access White Threads this morning I was told I was getting a server error. [...] Elder Daughter has been reading “Swallows and Amazons” recently, and decided that she’d like to camp out in the back yard as a bit of an adventure. We’ve borrowed a tent from my parents for this. Dad came around yesterday to show us how to put the tent up – he said it wouldn’t be [...] No, I didn’t spend the whole day in the car yesterday, skiving off. I didn’t go anywhere in the car at all – me driving or anyone else. I actually spent pretty much the whole day buried in my office working on more step-by-step diagrams. Therefore nothing much to say. Have a great day! Ok, here’s something I bet you didn’t know about me: until very recently I did not have my driver’s license. Yesterday, however, I passed my driving test and am now licensed to drive by myself. Quite frankly the thought of that scares me! But I am now officially able to do it. I just have [...] Just a word of warning about my upcoming office closure. Vetty Creations will be closed from Christmas until and including the New Year’s Day public holiday. I’ll be attempting to get the book FINALLY finished! While I’ll be around, and may even read emails, I won’t be blogging (unless I think of something absolutely thrilling [...] Please indulge me today, in a proud mother moment. Here in Australia we are about to finish up the school year. That means end of year reports and presentation day, where individual achievements are recognised and applauded. Yesterday my elder daughter was awarded not one, but three awards at the school presentation day. I am [...] Had a bit of a scare last night. My husband and I had just finished watching a Miss Marple DVD and very soon after that, there was a noise (I can’t remember how it sounded) and the screen went black and the computer wouldn’t work. I didn’t panic. I didn’t scream. I DID think of [...] When I was in secondary school, we studied some of the poems of Robert Frost, including “After Apple Picking”, “Mending Walls”, and my personal favourite “The Road Not Taken“. This poem really resonated with me. (I’m providing a link to it – above – as I don’t know the legalities of me writing it out [...] |
