Hi Ho Hi Ho

It’s back to work we go. On Monday, my first day back it was ridiculously hot. Thankfully the air conditioning worked as I heard that the AC in a friend’s building broke down. On second thoughts, she got to go home…
On Monday night the cool change came through, so things were a bit […]

What I wore today #17

T-shirt from Target, bought new.
Flouncy skirt from Portmans, op-shop.
Brown Novo thongs.

Today was cooler, only 32c. Tomorrow the temperature is supposed to get to 39, then 41 on Thursday.

What I wore today #10

Black and white sleeveless shell top, I made it myself.
Katies Denim skirt, found at op-shop in Canberra
Black ballet flats, bought new.

Work, in and out of the airconditioned car and office, then shopping with the family and uni to rehearse our presentation.
It has been interesting, taking a photo of myself every day. Quite confronting really. […]

Canberra, my trip!

Finally, I have the headspace to sit down and write about my trip to Canberra – this time last week I was just walking back from the sports club we went to in a desperate attempt to get something to eat.
I left home in a taxi at 4.30pm, with A and two forlorn, crying […]

leaving on a jet plane!

Actually, I’m not sure what kind of plane it is, but I’m heading off to Canberra this afternoon for a work conference. I’m very excited about this, but equally reluctant to leave my little family behind.
I’ll be back on Tuesday afternoon, see you then!

The tree in the sky!

I have been in the city for training, this is the 3rd of 4 two day sessions, if that makes sense? Around the training venue, new apartment buildings are being built, so it has been interesting to see the progress over the past two months. One thing we noticed was that on top […]

My day in links…

Today was a work training day, held at the Adelaide Bowling Club. I suppose it wasn’t so much about training, but it was a brainstorming session on funding outcomes. It was great as it helped our fledgling team solidify and clarify what we want our outcomes to be in the next 12-18 months. […]

First day of work!

A was still not well today, so he stayed at home with Willow. She didn’t throw up today and ate toast and dry biscuits and drank water and Gastrolite. When I got home, she had perked up considerably.
I was looking forward to today, the start of a new job with a new […]

More good things about work.

Business cards.
Being given a list of training and told to choose what I like. All done in work time of course.
Flexibility.
Being ‘on the same page’ as my manager.
