Activities (Again)

It's that time of the year again, when we try and figure out something for our juniors to do on the last week of term.

Sunday Sublime

What a lovely day

Dolls

I finished a long term restoration on a chaise-lounge which we keep in the bedroom.

Things I wish I hadn't said

We all make mistakes.

Here are some verbal mistakes of mine, in ascending order of cringe-making, fear and embarrassment.

If anyone asks

My beloved and my son and I have just applied for New Zealand citizenship (this has really nothing to do with the fact that the Abs have just won the Rugby World Cup (eat mud you cheese-eating surrender monkeys)

Yes, Yes, Yes

But it was a damn close run thing

Zen and the Art of Garden Maintenance

Become one with the Universe

Curses

I kid you not, ths popped up on the browser after a search of "Murrain".  If I get a terminal disease, I want it to look like this.

A Murrain on Tele-Marketers and Estate Agents.

Re-Awakenings

I'm on holiday for 5 more glorious days, and I can now manage to have a lovely long lie in bed.

France

This Sunday, the Pride of New Zealand; The All Blacks, face the perfidious French in the RWC® final.

Just saying

It's been a long, long road.

Just an experiment to see if I could create an animated gif and have blogger show it.

And of course to support the All Blacks.

FOUR MORE YEARS YOU BUNCH OF WINGING POOFTERS

Being; Becoming; A Grumpy Old bastard (1)

For some unknown, but probably pathological reason, quite a few of the commentators on these hallowed pages consider that I'm a grumpy bastard.

They may have a point.

Sheer Guts, Determination and Bloody Stupidity

I will admit it, I'm getting on in years.

The Delights of Going Back To School

No, really, I'm looking forward to going back to school today.

Why?

The Delights of Doing Bugger All

It's now the third day of our two week break, and I've managed to relax for the first time

We have a problem

Have you noticed the vast number of texting adolescents in the world?

Sweetness and Light

All is well.

All is love.

More Problems

Something even stranger is going on with the damned blogger

Domestic F*cking Bliss

Absolutely gorgeous day today.

Problems

Some of my friends have mentioned that they don't seem to be able to add comments to my posts.  I didn't set anything to stop them, but blogger seems to be having problems, especially if you are using Internet Explorer.  I would suggest changing to Firefox, which doesn't seem to give this problem.

I've also changed a couple of other settings which should now allow your comments to work.


Please feel free to try commenting as a test on his post.

Love, Affection and Saturated Fats

I love my Beloved.

My Beloved loves me.

Addiction

I'm an addict.

Be Careful. Be Afraid.

We have to do some research as a part of our Professional Learning, and during my fumbling searches of the lesser known and exceedingly dry academic web sites I came across this.

The Last Wednesday

This is the last day of Professional Learning this term.

What was I doing?

The seminar room was big and dusty, with pillars in unusual places.

The Importance of Good Grooming

Most times I really don't care if I look scruffy or disheveled.

Simple Pleasures

Sitting on my front deck, watching the sky change colour as the sunrise begin

A(n) Plague Embuggerance of Estate Agents

My Beloved is considering moving house.
