Hosted by Mrs4444. It’s been a while since I did a Friday Fragments post and I’ve missed them! So here I am back again with the bits and pieces that have been rattling around in my head just waiting to … Continue reading Friday Fragments
Hosted by Unknown Mami Today I took Caitlin to the Opera House to hear Joss Whedon speak about his writing and directing career – from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Dr Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog and everything in between and beyond. Joss was fascinating and brilliant and funny and wonderful and when he tackle-hugged Wil Anderson* at the end of the show I was really rather surprised Wil didn’t fall over. The image of Wil with Joss Whedon’s legs wrapped around his waist is one that will stay with me forever. After the talk/interview/QandA session we retired to the bar at … Continue reading Sundays in my City – A visit from Joss Whedon

Hosted by Unknown Mami During the July school holidays my mum and I took the kids to Cockatoo Island for the day. Cockatoo Island, a former convict prison and shipyard, is the largest island in Sydney Harbour and when we went to visit it was being used as one of the venues for the 17th Biennale of Sydney to host 120 works by 56 artists. So we got history and art in the one go. A free ferry service was provided for the Biennale and we did the stand outside and freeze while looking over the side at the water … Continue reading Sundays in my City – Cockatoo Island
Hosted by Mrs4444. Time for the end of week mental declutter that is Friday Fragments. Let’s see what’s floating about in here shall we? **** I did my 6th Kiva loan this week, which apparently makes me an average Kiva lender. Must do better. I’m going to stop buying Macca’s coffee on work mornings and instead do a Kiva loan each month. There’s a perfectly good coffee machine at work anyway. **** The church notice board that I was venting about on Thursday last week has gone from offensive to merely bemusing. It now reads “Without God the world is … Continue reading Friday Fragments
Hosted by Unknown Mami After having just a little too much fun last night I woke this morning wanting nothing more than to curl up on the lounge and pretend I had no responsibilities for the day. But we had Plans and there was to be no wriggling out of them! We dropped David at a friend’s place for the day and off we went to the city to visit the Art Gallery. It’s amazing how much difference it makes to be one kid down, everything seemed so much easier, even when Tom decide the exhibition we’d gone to see … Continue reading Sundays in My City
Hosted by Mrs4444. Friday fragment flit and flutter around in one’s fogged up fancy, frustrating one’s faculties and forcing a foundering of fullfilling fought thought! Sorry. All that alliteration almost absconded with my ability to articulate accurately. Ahem. I’ll stop there and offload some of these pesky flittering fragments shall I? Don’t forget to visit other Friday Fragmenters via the blog hop links below! ***** Cystitis sucks. It’s also the reason there was no decluttering pics yesterday. I got home from canteen duty at the high school, went to the loo, thought “uh oh, that doesn’t feel good” and within the … Continue reading Friday Fragments
Hosted by Unknown Mami After our busy furniture rearranging day yesterday we took it easy this morning and ended up having breakfast at about 11am. Dave and I went and did the grocery shopping while Adam, Tom and Caitlin baked choc chip cookies and brownies. Then after lunch (which we ate at 3:30pm) we put the Anglo Saxon style leg of lamb in the oven to slow cook and headed over to my Mum’s place for a walk. My Aunty Liz and Uncle Rob and my Dad had been at Mum’s for lunch so altogether there were 10 of us … Continue reading Sundays in my City
Hosted by Mrs4444. My mind isn’t so much fragmented as mush at the moment, it’s been kind of a long week, but I’ve fished out a few bits and bobs to share. For more end of week shrapnel head on over to Half-Past Kissin’ Time! ***** On Tuesday I had my 3rd singing lesson and my teacher said nice things to me. So I guess I’m not completely delusional and there might be some point to this exercise. Who knows, one day I might even be fit to be heard in public. I’m really enjoying the lessons and the practicing, … Continue reading Friday Fragments
The 27th Down Under Feminists Carnival is up at In a strange land. Deborah has done a stellar job this month (she had some practice being stellar last month too) and there’s a veritable galaxy of links to follow leading … Continue reading 27th Down Under Feminists Carnival
