Sick as a Dog at Work
2008-01-24 15:44:00 The last few weeks has seen only sporadic posting from me, and I apologise. Today I am off sick, which has allowed me to indulge in this wonderful hobby that I have - blogging.

January Challenge: To Date
2008-01-24 15:01:00 I haven’t been particularly consistent with this… life gets in the way… however I am building up a small collection. I am noticing that there are some themes developing - with slanting lines. They do draw the eye. I’ve noticed in a lot of the photos that I like that there is a recurring pattern of ...

Piano on Fire
2008-01-20 16:52:00 The reflection of the red leaves and the green floor on this piano caught my eye and inspired me to take this photo.

Saying Thank-You
2008-01-13 05:05:00 I enjoy the company, companionship and sometimes the generosity of a lot of people as I travel, and one thing that my DH has taught me is the value of ‘thank you’.

Namaste - Morning Yoga
2008-01-08 04:56:00 I’m not sure that I’m doing this consciously, however getting organised in a number of areas of work and personal life has given me energy.

How to Get Really Clean Dishes
2008-01-05 09:48:00 I was washing dishes this morning when I recalled how we did it when I was a kid.

Washing was ... More About: Blog , Clean , Dishes
Procrastinating with Good Intentions - Decluttering

Getting Synchronised Before The New Year
2007-12-31 07:53:00 I’m always one in favour of trying to sort through things before the new year… I’m not particularly good at maintaining it, however it is often the only time that I take a breath, take stock, and clean out a bunch of clutter and junk. This also applies virtually - and thanks to Dashwire, I ... More About: New Year , Blog , Year
Getting the Message Across
2007-12-27 04:05:00 A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately. She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.
