When I was in primary school I had a simple text-book on touch typing or at least typing efficiently with one hand. It wasn’t really a text-book in the traditional sense; rather a case of 100 typed pages, [...]

The weekend that was
Written after last Valentine’s Day
I’m a girl. Bottom line. For all my protestations about being modern and not “into the Hallmark Days”, yesterday was Valentine’s day.
But this year felt different. PB is a creative and enjoys surprising me and so on the day of St Valentine’s I awoke to recieve this
Well two of them actually [...]
6WS
I was looking through my NetNewsWire collection of blogs and came accross this concept on C Beth’s blog. Six word Saturday. Described more fully here, its basically to describe your life in that moment or a thing in your life in a phrase containing 6 words. During this disciplined blogging exercise I thought I’d try [...]

I recognise though that SAD and other similar [...]

tweet tweet
i used twitter yesterday much like I think it was intended, or at least a very handy way of using it to broadcast a problem PB was having with Vodafone (the Australian phone company) and his iPhone. It wasn’t solved through the tweeting but the up to the minute information was shared and further broadcasted. [...]
now published
It was a strange day earlier this week when one evening PB teased me with the dreaded “surprise”.
Buried in the caboose was a copy of the October issue of Link magazine. Published five times a year Link is “Australia’s leading national cross-disability magazine.” Lo and behold an edited version of the organic fruit blog post [...]
