I received an award from Libertine at The untamed thoughts on … Autism The Love My Friends Award is given to those bloggers who aspire, inspire and share the most beautiful of human attributes: art, wisdom and friendship. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more. Art, wisdom and friendship…wow, thank you so much! As I said in my comment over at Libertine’s blog – what a lovely award – and now I get the fun of passing it on (easily the best thing about blog awards). Ariane at Ariane’s Little World- for many years of friendship, … Continue reading Love my friends award
Adam has been building stuff again. This time it’s DVD shelves and we’ve just moved the first new shelving unit into place in the lounge room. Adam doing some high speed re-shelving of DVDs He’s made two of these, to fit one on each side of the fishtank. The bookshelves that were there before, that had been bursting under the load of our ludicrously large DVD collection, will be relocated to the kids rooms where they will hopefully have some tidying influence on their rooms (I’m an optimist). I estimate each unit will hold almost 500 DVDs. Wonder how long … Continue reading The lounge room smells of varnish

Click that link and it will take you to a post at Diary of a Goldfish collating links to posts by many, many bloggers all addressing issues of disability discrimination and the experience of being disabled.

Last week’s mountain was never fully scaled, we did a lot of rummaging through the pile looking for the other half of a pair of socks through the week, and by the time it came to today I was faced with something closely resembling a Mt Everest of clean laundry – especially after I changed, washed and dried 3 sets of sheets yesterday. Here’s what it looked like after I spent half the afternoon sorting and folding it all. I’m feeling very self-righteous tonight. And it’s even all been put away properly too! What about the fur? Well. It happened … Continue reading Folding and fur
Hello. Hello? Is this thing on? I’m not managing much by way of bloggy goodness lately, either of the posting or commenting kind. You might spot the occasional Tweet though, 140 characters seems to be something I can manage. Things are still not quite right in my head (though I’m reading more which is a good thing) I’ve been struggling with feeling overwhelmed and unaccountably sad for weeks now. It’s kind of pissing me off. I was talking to Adam about it and saying how my life, by any objective measure, is pretty fucking awesome and to be feeling on … Continue reading The lights are on but nobody’s home
I’m fluttered…no wait…flattered, that’s the word. Lou (aka Bogsider) has very kindly given me the Butterfly award. I discovered this when I was sitting in the car on our hide-from-the-heat trip down the coast from Merry Beach on the verge of tears because of the pain from my back and grabbing a quick dose of net therapy on my mobile while I actually had a signal. Made my day it did. Thank you Lou! Meme rules:1. Put the logo on your blog.2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.3. Award up to ten other blogs.4. Add links to … Continue reading Flutterby

New Year’s resolutions never seem to amount to anything much do they? I don’t think I’ve ever made any that lasted past the first few days until last year and even then they weren’t New Year’s resolutions so much as February planning. I was quite pleased with how my goal setting for 2008 worked out, so I thought I’d do something similar for this year. One thing I’ve learned from looking at which things got done and which things didn’t is that there’s not much point in setting my heart on achieving something that would require a major shift in … Continue reading 12 things for 2009
Break out the bubbly folks, we’ve just passed an arbitrarily chosen point in our orbit around the sun, the primary effect of which will be that I won’t be able to write the date correctly for the next 6 weeks or so. Clearly cause for celebration! Happy New Year everyone 😀 Continue reading Happy New Year!
