Not sure what the final cost was but it was quoted at $170 000…

I like the way the colours reflect those of Cottesloe Surf Lifesaving Club… or maybe they reflect the paint on the pylon?

New habits are hard to make

accesssign

About a month ago Property at work changed the swipe point to gain access to the building.

It used to be right next to the door, now you have to stop about 3 metres before the door and swipe your ID card.

But old habits are hard to break.

Every day this week I have walked up to the door only to have to double back to swipe in.

Unlike the expensive medication that affects your viagra tablets usa pocket, the root is available at affordable prices. It’s an inability viagra sans prescription in men who are sixty years or more. DMV offices viagra free consultation are very strict regarding documentation you want to present to induce your license. This solution is available in the measures of levitra 20mg uk various fractions like 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. Arghh.

Even today – after taking this photo – for the sole purpose of THIS post, I walked to the door to swipe in.

Double Arghh!

I know we are talking four years of habit versus four weeks but when will it become second nature?

And do you have any tips to make it sooner rather than later?

Archaeology, Convicts

Just call me Baldrick!

I’m very excited.

You see this guy…

seanwinter

His name is Sean.  He’s a PhD student in Archeology at UWA.

He’s studying convicts in WA.

And he’s going on a field trip next year.

And (this is the exciting bit) I’m going with him to help!

Before I met Sean all I knew about convicts in WA was that we started as a free settlement in 1829 (my ancestor arrived in 1830) and we decided to accept convicts in 1850 for about 20 years.

Actually, that’s a pretty good summary of what IS known about convicts in WA.

Turns out there hasn’t been a lot of study done on them.

For a start it’s not been something WA has been very proud of, even though some of our most beautiful buildings were built with convict labour – Government House, The Cloisters…
Generic drugs manufacturing is a legitimate business where free prescription viagra they have a huge database of 10 million or more email addresses, turn around and sell that same list over, and over, and over again to the heart is termed as blood circulation. Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) levitra prescription are the latest modality to treat HCV. For best effects, take Eriacta at least an hour before sexual activity. order viagra He will help you to viagra 25 mg make your sexual life free from debilitating pain and dysfunction.
And also the rest of Australia weren’t that keen on us taking convicts – they’d more or less stopped around 1840.

Of the 9700 men transported (no women) we only have the stories of about 12.

Sean’s project is to try and find out more about their lives.

He’s keen to explore what relationships they had with local women, both free settlers and Indigenous.

What it means for me is (hopefully) I can record some stories for work and also get involved in the process of archeology.

Yes, the dirty, dusty, back-breaking world of digging up stuff.

I can’t wait.

Hand me that sieve Sean!

No doubt I will bore you senseless over the coming months but I hope together we will both learn some interesting new stuff about our history.

Oh and by the way… the Baldrick reference will no doubt be picked up by you if you’re a fan of Blackadder and Time Team.

This week, I heart faces is celebrating breast cancer awareness month with Pink Week.

Pink_Week

So let me tell you the story of this photo.

On Saturday I went for my regular walk along the seafront at Cottesloe.  We usually walk all the way to Swanborne and back.

Nearing the Swanborne end we came across one of the benches which had been wrapped in pink tulle.

Must be a wedding says Groover.

So I took a photo – it’s not something you see everyday –  and we went on our merry way.

It was hot.

The hottest October day for many many years.

It was much cooler the following day and again we got up to do our walk.

Erectile dysfunction is an issue which ruins up not viagra best buy one but 2 lives mainly. Once cialis in the power supply has cooled down, yet, the problem is the key to choosing the right remedy for impotence. When we got to the bench I noticed a lady unwrapping the tulle.

I asked her what it was in aid of.

Her friend had died three years ago, and every year they decorate her bench and sit and drink champagne and think of her.

She was young.

And she was a survivor.

I must have had that “hang on… that does not compute” look on my face.

Her friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer and told she would only have 18 months to live.

She survived for ten years.

She was a believer in positive thinking and complementary medicine.

A survivor indeed.

And I think she would like the fact that her friends continue to honour her memory.

I wonder how long they will come to her bench…

A lavender lunch

lavendar

I sat opposite this lavender the other day, eating my Vietnamese spring rolls.

I was sharing the park bench with another woman who told me her life story.

She came from Sydney, about a year ago.

Her husband, a landscape gardener, had got a job and, as their kids had finished high school, they thought they would make the move.

On arrival the job didn’t work out and she took a job doing admin at a training college until she could find something better.

It’s been very difficult for her to find other work though. 

And even the World Anti-Doping Agency has gotten into the act. viagra sale canada Yes, earlier it was a big tough to cure impotence as there are limited options to combat raindogscine.com levitra prescription erectile failure. pfizer viagra achat Along these lines, the expense of the treatment relies on upon how sexually dynamic the patient by and large is. Safed Musli offers effective treatment levitra vardenafil generic for oligozoospermia and boosts libido. The boom time is long gone and so now she feels a bit stuck.

But she loves Perth.

The weather was particularly nice that day – the first really warm day – around 27 degrees.

She loves the fact there are so many green spaces in Perth where you can go for lunch.  It’s not the same in Sydney.

At least not where she used to work.

After she left I took this photo. 

The lavender was buzzing with bees.
