Writing

I love writing. I’m not sure what it is about writing that gets me so excited. It’s almost like I have all these ideas whirling around in my head and I have to write them down to get them out. There’s something very satisfying about that. There’s also something gratifying about looking at something that […] →Read more

Preparedness

We had an earthquake drill recently at work. That’s me under my desk for said drill. I look far too happy for an earthquake. One of the things we talked about in the debrief was whether anyone had an emergency preparedness kit – you are supposed to have one at home, another one at work, and […] →Read more

One

So I wrote that previous blog posting on the Skytrain and only just posted it with 3 minutes to spare before Nov 1 turned into Nov 2 and then I would have failed at NaBloPoMo before I even started it. I blame the fact that I teach on Tuesday nights and I ended up staying […] →Read more

NaBloPoMo2016

Way back in the day, I used to participate in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo), where you post a blog posting every day during the month of November. For some unknown reason, while I was on holidays it popped in my head that I should do that again this year. And for some other unknown […] →Read more

Apparently none of that was […] →Read more

I’m Back!

I’m back! (Actually, I have been for almost a week!) I have so much to blog about from my trip but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get to the big blog postings for a while as I’m teaching a new course this semester so that is going to take up most of my […] →Read more

In the Sydney Airport

So now I’m in the Sydney airport, waiting for a flight to Hong Kong ((We decided that rather than do another 20 hours of flying in one day, we’d break the flight home up by stopping into Hong Kong on the way home. Neither of us have been there before, aside from our brief layover […] →Read more

At the Ballina Airport

Now I’m at the Ballina ((Pronounced Bel-in-ah, and not Ba-leena, like I assumed before I came here.)) Airport. I have much to blog about, but I think that will have to wait until I get home, as I’m having far too much fun sightseeing and Pokémon-ing and whatnot to spend my time on my computer. […] →Read more
