Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
I decided over the past few weeks I needed to upgrade the security of my home wireless network because it was on a relatively weak WEP system with a 10 digit password. For reasons anyone with a little knowledge would accept, I chose the WPA and… to be safe… chose a 40 character alphanumeric password. … More Mr Technology puts the hammer down!!
Well hello again. I’ve managed to crawl out of bed and am all bar ready to return to the blogshere to throw my opinions into the melting pot. Sorry for the self-indulgence of the past weeks, when I have flu I’m a pain to all around me so abandoning the blog for a few days … More Hello world!
Well yes, I’m ‘sort of’ on the mend. I can’t say I feel as bad as I did, but I’m still ‘out of it. I’ll take a few extra days off and try to make sure I’m back properly. No point trying to force things after all. I’ve done very little posting in the forums. … More On the mend?
Sorry to report that I’m still suffering with the flu I didn’t mention I had. I came down with the Australian version of the lurgy a couple of weeks ago and I’ve gone steadily downhill since. Strangely even before it arrived I knew it was on the way. Over the many years of my life … More Sick as a Dog
Please accept my apologies for not updating the blog as regularly as usual. The kids are home for what would be known as half term in the UK, but end of term in Oz, and so I’m a bit ‘pushed’ for time! In addition I decided now was a good time to start spring-cleaning and … More Life in the Kennel.
To keep the kids occupied for a while yesterday I dug out the old 1950’s film “Hans Christian Anderson” satarring Danny Kaye. They sat transfixed! I’d forgotten much of the film and tho as an adult I still appreciated the music, the film itself was mind boggling! The film paid scant attention to anything resembling … More Kids films.
Ok, here’s a new thing… win $10,000 for completing a 5 minute survey! Yes I know, it’s a slim chance I suppose but as they say… you have to be innit to winnit! I wonder if it’s limited to Aussie citizens? 🙂 I like this idea. Costs nothing to enter… you tell them nothing you … More Anyone want $10,000??
As I’ve mentioned several times I’ve managed to become involved with the parents support group for the local Girl Guide group. The parents, Leaders and the girls themselves are very proud of their little hut and over the past few years have gradually renovated it from a basic ‘shed’ to a pretty little meeting place … More Graffiti goons.
She’s back on the radio soon. At 11 o”clock she’ll be interviewing Natasha Stott-Despoja who is closing down her official duties for the country today and clearing out her office. Two icons talking to one another… nice! 😀
Despite not having written much in the blog I *have* had the chance to sit and make a start watching the Chronicles of Narnia. No not the recent film versions, but a relatively ancient version released by the BBC back in 1988! Being a BBC production we were prepared for a ‘high quality’ presentation which … More Chronicles of Narnia: BBC version
