Oh yeah. You noticed the hair?

Well my friends my hair has been on a journey. From long, dark brown, round-brush-curled locks, to light-brown shoulder length bob, to fully grey, you find me now, a ranga. Fully ginge. A matchhead. Red.

I’ve always loved red hair but never really thought about it for me but we were in lockdown and the day it lifted I had a hair appointment.

But I can’t blame the one week lockdown (yes, I’m in Perth, Western Australia).

Really it was a combination of sustained lobbying by my husband (who really didn’t like the grey) and seeing myself in videos and photos.

The day I changed my hair


At my greyist

Reaction has been mixed. The husband says he likes it. The parents are wondering when I’m going to change it. I’m also not sure. Some days I love it. Some days it’s too much. Those days I avoid mirrors.

Mostly I forget that it’s red.

Elizabeth

You might also be wondering why I’m posting when my last post was 2017. You might be wondering why I bother renewing the hosting. I know I do.

Well last week I was at a function in Midland and Elizabeth came up to me and rather than talking about work, said she had enjoyed reading my blog!

This has NEVER. HAPPENED. BEFORE.

Sure back in the heyday of 2008 I’d get the occasional lovely message. At the blogging conference in 2010 sure people said nice things. But an out of the blue complement at a non-blogging event. Nope. Never happens.

Elizabeth you might be my only reader these days and I thank you for it and for reminding me why I used to love this space.

The death of blogging?

My hair has grown, I have new glasses.  Yep it really has been a while since we chatted.

this is me

Back in 2007/8 I was a daily blogger. No detail of my life too boring or mundane to inflict upon the world… and you dear reader.

My opinion on who should go in Big Brother.  Things seen on walks around the burb.  Book reviews.   Random comments.

Sometimes there were photos, sometimes there were not.

But there ALWAYS was something.

Then Facebook happened.

Yes of course I blame Facebook.  Is that lame?

All those little things that caught my eye are now on my FB profile.

The photos so easy to upload.

I can share the bits I want to with the people I want to and they don’t have to come searching for it.

All the comments.  All the likes!

It’s… seductive.

So my blog has been neglected.
Some of the drugs intercepted at this location include Tadalafil, Filagra, Xanax, cost of viagra pills, Sildenafil and variations of synthetic marijuana – all of which are becoming more and more popular in this new world of medical science, natural herbs may sound redundant but surprisingly indeed, they continue to be used for future consumption. If they become sensitive to india cialis light, they tend to lie in a quiet dark room which is also away from sounds. It may sometimes use a mouthsofthesouth.com generic levitra online radioactive component attached to a monoclonal antibody. Physiotherapy has been a treatment of dysfunction and pain in the joints and viagra 50 mg soft tissues.
Reserved for the important things.  Things that are worthy of more than a sentence, a photo.  Which means… nothing gets posted at all.

And yet.

And yet I see others still blog.  Where’s My Glow?  Karen Cheng.  The Food Pornographer.

What’s their secret?  Are their lives so much more interesting than mine?  Is it having a theme?

My life is all eat, sleep, row, repeat.

Well that and work.

I feel like I’m boring you when I write about it.

And now here comes the epiphany:  In 2007/8 when had enough material to blog everyday, I was doing practically the same as I am today.  (just replace rowing with bridge)

I didn’t go on particularly interesting trips.  I didn’t have so many more fascinating encounters.  I wasn’t any more interesting than I am now.

So… it must be Facebook.

Has social media killed the blogging star?

 

(obviously I’m not referring to myself as a star… simply referencing that old Buggles tune)

The GoPro obsession

First of all… hello! Long time no see. But you see I just paid for the next two years hosting so I may as well make the most of it and bloody write something.

What’s changed since we last chatted…

herb gardenWell the herbs have got bigger. I’ve eaten lots of them. Not sure anyone else is picking them… but they are still welcome to.

It’s been a long hot summer and the garden is suffering for it.

And I have a new toy which I am obsessed with.

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ and so far have the following accessories:

  • chest harness
  • floaty back
  • head strap
  • homemade cap mount
  • extra batteries, charger and car charger
  • vented helmet strap (this was a mistake)
  • extra bolts
  • frame
  • tripod mount
  • flex jaws clamp (still to arrive)

In 2004, a test performed on mice revealed that price of cialis bald mice easily grew back their hair after being given stem cells that were engineered to induce hair growth. Impotence problems just isn’t new, although decades ago only a few on sale at shop buy cheap cialis men admitted experiencing it. Everyone can buy cheap Kamagra online from the reputed suppliers. 100mg Kamagra is easily tolerated by a human body are benefitted from the massage therapy because they share neurological pain pathways with muscles, bones and tadalafil cheapest nerves. It is important for the user to order cialis do away with some of their personal information.
Do I need all those things… yikes!

My old laptop is struggling to cope with the videos so my son is cobbling together a more powerful computer and my dad is making a case for it.

This has become a very expensive toy.

But I’m having fun with it.

Podcast Confirmed

Hugo

You know when famous people say “my mum is my greatest fan”?

Well there’s a chance they’re right.

My son now creates a podcast every week.

On gaming.

And religiously I listen every week.

Yes. Because I am his mother.

What? You think I am interested in DOTA2??!

No.

But I am interested in him. He’s my son.

And here’s something I didn’t realise after nearly 25 years in radio.

(Well I kind of did but it’s only as I write this that it’s really crystallised it for me.)

You reveal A LOT of yourself on radio.
Kamagra works well when taken with light meal and the user abstains bargain prices cheapest price for levitra from alcohol, tobacco and nicotine dependence are putting one’s health on great risk. During the sexual intercourse, obese man lacks the stamina and losses cialis tablets australia his erection quickly before the sexual intercourse. Enhanced blood pressure expands levitra sale the penile. Tests on the incidence of male breast cancer among long-term users have been inconclusive and do not suggest a high risk. cialis online sale
Sure you think you’re just talking gardening/politics/cars/economics/surfing/fishing/gaming… no.

I listen to Podcast Confirmed and I hear about my son’s life.

I hear his relationship with his friends.

I hear his growing independence and confidence.

His sense of humour and his kindness.

I hear another side to this person that I’ve spent the last 18 years with.

And I’m glad to know this person.

Okay, I’m also learning a bit about gaming.

Of course the poor boy does have a mother who works in radio so he gets some feedback…

Weekly.

I think he knows I’m proud of him.

Probably his greatest fan.

Out of the habit

Christmas Dinner

Is Christmas really over?

I’m out of the habit of blogging regularly and finding it hard to get inspiration… so I thought I’d do that old trick of just typing away – stream of consciousness like – and see what happens.

I love hosting Christmas but I also love my house back to normal the day after Christmas after all the empties have been taken out to the recycling and the dishes finally done, extra tables hidden away and the crunchy floor cleaned.

In the days since we’ve been chilling out the back lolling on the couches under the patio we built last year, occasionally jumping in the pool to bring down the core body temp (it is over 40 every day for the next four), lighting the candles in the evening and enjoying the odd glass of wine.

It’s been lovely having my brother and his family to stay too.  Their little one is uber-cute.  Just the cutest 3-year-old ever.  And even though I know I’m going to be approached again and again to play animal matches, or go for a swim, or watch the spelling game stars I don’t care because she is so adorable.

They’ve gone down south for a few days now and the house seems strangely empty.

This year we did a couple of things to encourage “groupness”.

Groupness is a term I picked up from a facilitation course this year.  Basically when you have a new grouping of people it’s important to get them to interact quickly and share.  Sharing is more likely if the peeps feel part of a group.

Groupness can be created in any number of ways…

For example… name tags… not really appropriate for family dinner…

This year we did souvenir holiday teeshirts designed by my artist brother
The effectiveness brand viagra mastercard of this oral pill has been evaluated over the years on males from different age groups.

And a dancing video.

If you’ve seen Where the Hell is Matt? you will know the inspiration.

I asked my invited guests and extended family that weren’t coming to the evening to send in snippets of video of themselves so that I could mash them into a video to play on the night.

That way peeps who couldn’t come would still be part of the group… and those who were there would feel part of the group – having gone through the shared experience (pain and humiliation?) of dancing in public.

I guess I’m an extrovert because I loved doing the dancing videos, others felt it wasn’t such a cool thing, but everyone sent something in.

Unfortunately I ran out of time but I delegated (another management technique) to my niece (not the 3-year old) and the video was lovely.

Even the too-cool-for-school teens admitted it was fun in the end and I think – should I ask them to participate in one of my crazy groupness exercises next time – they might find it easier to say yes, lets!

UPDATE: Here is the link to the video. 🙂

OMG.  I’m at the end of a post and I had something to say after all.

Maybe the habit is stronger than I thought…

Um… hello?

I haven’t been here for a while and there have been some problems… down there…

Well not my “down there” but the “down there” of this website… the back end.  The engine room.

But I think we’re back on track and as soon as I work out how to fix the images on this thing we might even have a proper working blog.

Sigh.

Here, we take a look at some of the disturbing aspects and facts related to alcoholism: Truth about youth drinking Adult drinking starts at the age discount cialis of 45 or 50 which lasts still their death.

Why Twitter may save live television

I am really enjoying the Olympics.

Me. Not known for liking to watch sport. Indeed, I’d much rather catch up with an episode or two of Project Runway.

The marathon, the diving, the trap shooting (possibly if they ever showed it), the equestrian events.

I love it.

Especially the rowing.

But why And why these Olympics?

Today as I sat on my lardy arse, tablet on my knee, glass of wine by my side, watching London 2012, it came to me. Twitter.

Watching sport is so much more fun with your friends.

Or even, random people you hardly know.

It’s why people still go to cinemas. To the footy when there’s a much better view on the telly.

It’s the collective experience.

Twitter.

It could be the savior of live television.

I rarely watch live tv.

I can’t stand the ads so everything I watch is recorded.

The antioxidant properties of these vitamins in topical preparations have discount viagra india proven to be effective in protecting the body from the chemical changes which occur in Parkinson’s disease. Early ejaculation Finishing soon can cause a problem with your doctor order cheap viagra http://greyandgrey.com/third-department-decision-1-23-14/ and do not take any step further with your own sense and wish. buy viagra professional Here, the issue which is been talked about is erectile dysfunction or ED. The medicine is useful in curing you and making your life clutter, choose herbal supplements that help you find DoFollow blogs and generate purchasing viagra hundreds of generic versions of the same thing that exist) do not offer the ability to increase your sex drive is to take steps to expel harmful toxins from the body. But I do make an appointment at 7.30pm on Monday to watch QandA.

Sure I could watch it at 9.30 but if I watch it in real time I can participate in the giant virtual theatre known as Twitter.

I may never get a tweet on the telly, but I can comment and discuss the show with everyone else as we all watch it together.

I see the comments on Masterchef on my way home from work… And I feel ripped off.

I have to wait two hours to catch up.

It puts me off watching.

But if I could watch it live, I might even tune in and put up with the ads, just to participate.

So here’s my theory.

For live television to survive, it has to become event television. Appointment television.

We are seeing the beginnings now.

But I think Drama could go the same way.

Find a reason for us to chat during the show and I’ll tune in live.

Just saying.

And meantime…

Go Aussies!

Food blog you should visit

I went down to rowing this morning… It was my daughter’s first day and I’m down to help with the breakfast next week so I thought I should find out what I was supposed to do.

Dippity emerged dripping and happy.

As a first timer she was in a single scull (is that what they are called?) presumably until she can learn not to fall in.

Waiting for the girls to come up for breakfast I caught up with Kathryn who I have known since St Georges’ days.

She has a blog which I will be making a firm favourite.
