You have to love 3D Movies. It means a whole theatre of people wearing ridicously ugly glasses. But by putting the 3D glasses on it means you get to see a dimension of the movie that you couldn’t see otherwise. The screen comes to life and it feels like the action is going on all around you.… Continue reading Wearing my 3D Glasses

Stuck on a treadmill?
I don't run with scissors. Actually, let's be honest, I don't run (unless it's an emergency - then you'd better run too!). But if I were to take up running (for any other reason than being late), I'd want to run in a park, on a track, down the street even and not on a treadmill! To me that just means… Continue reading Stuck on a treadmill?
According to sources
Overheard today, "I knew better than the Doctor did, because I had googled it..." It did make me laugh. But there is some truth in this statement. We all have our sources - our experts that we turn to for advice. People and organisations that we put our trust in - from Health Experts, to Educators… Continue reading According to sources
Mums on the run!
There's a first time for everything they say. But there are some things, a lot of things, that you don't ever expect or want to experience. Today, I had one those experiences. I was enjoying a late morning coffee with my sister, (if midday can be considered late morning!) after a morning of errands, or should I… Continue reading Mums on the run!
Why did God create the spider?
To catch the fly? That wiggled and jiggled... My 7 year old does not like spiders and so with all seriousness he asked me why would God have made them. Surely it must be some mistake? I think my reply might have been along the lines of its purpose perhaps in dealing with the other creepy… Continue reading Why did God create the spider?
Interruptions and the Lunchbox
Life taught me a lesson this week! Well I hope I have learnt from it. My normal morning routine had a planned for change. Instead of the normal school run, I was taking my oldest to the Hospital for an appointment, an early one at that. It meant organising the other children to go to Grandparents… Continue reading Interruptions and the Lunchbox
Mining & Minecraft
My boys have discovered Minecraft. Ok, enabled by me, since I purchased the App. But, nonetheless they have discovered the joy of creating houses and farms, towers and castles and anything else that captures their imagination. Mining is an essential element of the game (apparently, I'm still coming up to speed with the intricacies of… Continue reading Mining & Minecraft
The Village
I love reading novels set in Italy. Novels that describe village life. Nicky Pellegrino is one of my favourite writers and has several based in the region. I love how the village life is described. The Barista knowing the perfect coffee for the day. The descriptions of aromas drifting from the bakeries, the people, the community.… Continue reading The Village
A Chilly Morning
It was a chilly morning here today. And if I needed any further indications other than the ice I had to scrape off my windscreen, my car decided to display an "ice danger" sign. Not matter, the car heater kicked in, the hot coffee was bought and I was headed to a nicely heated office.… Continue reading A Chilly Morning
Moments
"Life is a sequence of moments called now" "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory" Dr Seuss All the little moments that make up our days are what construct our lives. Our lives are made of many, many moments. Most of the time though, we rush through life… Continue reading Moments
