Yep, just an ordinary Sydney [train]. Not particularly inspired, or clean, or cheap, or timely, but got me from point A to point B today, reasonably efficiently. I have had a habit of taking photos of trains in the past - the bullet in Japan, some local monstrosity in Germany, and way too many of the NY Subway - but I definitely felt like a tourist today snapping these shots - I think I scared one woman who thought I was photographing her - oops.

Day 11
Here birdie, birdie, birdie - meet my fine [feathered] friend the Rosella. It was hanging out in a tree in the driveway - yep, most of the birds here look like they belong in a zoo exhibit somewhere, something to do with the heat....[humm, just made that up really, but it does get quite tropical]. Get too many of them together and it's like sitting next to a bunch of obnoxious girls at the races, but individually they're just pretty and colourful. See all 30 days posts here… … [Read more...]
Stick that in your Bieber and tweet it
Complements of NPR...."The Trend — its spotting, its tracking, its examination — has become omnipresent in contemporary culture. And if there is one thing that watching trends has taught us, it's that at precisely the point at which something becomes ubiquitous, that something is no longer a trend." My 2 cents - just do what you like because you like it, stop worrying so much about the Jones', because they will just have something new tomorrow. … [Read more...]
Day 10 of 30
Split and re-potted a [plant] today. Boring - perhaps, therapeutic - definitely. The plant is much happier now too. See all 30 days posts here… … [Read more...]
This week in consumerism
Right, so I am back to watching daytime tv this week. It is not that I sit and watch it, per say, but there is something about the drone of voices and flashing lights that keeps me from going mental when I am working from home all day long. Free TV have been rolling out a plethora of 'new channels' lately, most of them just showing old shows from the 80's [humm, when new is not so new]. Now that is not too much of an issue for me as I have recently grown fond of 'The Rockford Files' and would … [Read more...]
Day 9 of 30
Pizza [night], that can't be allowed....oh but it can. So the rules are no white flour, no cow's milk, no sugar, no saturated fat oils, organic...blah blah blah... Good thing I like to bake - organic whole wheat spelt flour, hard goats cheese [as a friend said, of course I would find something like that], organic no sugar pasta sauce [so good it is sticking around well after this diet thing is over], olive oil and veggies. Sounds like no fun, tastes like a pizza party! Just as good cold the … [Read more...]
Day 8 of 30
Red and yellow /and Pink and Green /Purple and orange and blue...I can sing a [rainbow], Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too. I'm taking a course right now that will eventuate as a Cert4 in Design. 1st bit is colour so I have been painting chips, and painting chips, and painting chips. 3o something and I still end up with paint all over my hands every time.
