Life is pretty tedious lately. Only one thing to look forward to – the belly dance concert next Friday. That should be awesome. I only recently found out there were workshops in the weekend following but I haven’t the time or money – it would have been brilliant though.
Some workmates had a ‘hangi’ for [...]

A life stripped bare

I finished the book about Leo Hickman’s experiment with living ethicially. At the end of it, of course, it’s not as if he can return to his ‘unethical’ living after all the things he’s learned. Basically you have to reassess everything you do and buy from the food you eat to the bank you deposit your [...]

I started reading a very interesting book last night. Called ‘A Life Stripped Bare’ it’s about an English chap’s one year experiment to buy and use only ethically correct products – eg no chemical-laden baby wipes for his daughter, no imported food products, etc.
Oh dear – time has caught up – work already.
Anyway, [...]

Well, I headed down to my bro’s after work on Friday since it was his 50th birthday! Crikey. Hard to believe he’s reached his half-century. He didn’t have a party or anything – didn’t want it – particularly in mid winter. He may have a barbecue in the summer, he said. However, he did get [...]

Mood: feeling a little better
Well, Sunday lived up to its name. It was VERY pleasant being able to sit outside and soak up some Vitamin D in the best way. Bird song, reading material and a cuppa made it all the more enjoyable. That’s more like it. I’m glad the weather forecasters got it wrong. [...]

Talk about rain. Non-stop for about 24 hours and very heavy overnight. I woke up about 1.30 am and didn’t get back to sleep for some time. I half hoped that there would be floods enough to prevent me from getting to work but no such luck. The rain went away only to leave threatening [...]
Weekend

So I drove to my brother’s for the weekend. Had a pleasant time and the weather was nice, albeit cold. Had a walk along the beach today. The dogs got on well until we got back and the stupid Jack Russell gets all possessive and jealous and attacks my dog for no reason.
I’m tired. [...]
