Yesterday, Bill sent me a link to an article in the Daily Mail that had amazing mugshots from the New South Wales police in the 1920s. I cannot stop looking at them. Their clothes, poses, expressions, hair – it is fascinating! I found another page with more photos (lots of links on the bottom of…

#blogjune – Day 8 – Memorial Day
For some reason, I seemed to understand and appreciate more about Memorial Day this year than in previous years. I am not sure why, but there was a whole bevy of experiences that culminated in a further appreciation for what the day means. This is the US equivalent of Anzac Day – so it has…
#blogjune – Day 7 – Hankering for a Hankie
I cannot believe I am doing a post on this, but I must be the only person left on earth who never goes anywhere without a hankie! It definitely seems that way because trying to buy just normal, everyday hankies over here is near impossible… even Wal-Mart doesn’t have them! We eventually found some at…
#blogjune – Day 6 – Apple Love
I have had my gorgeous baby Macbook for nearly four years and four months – which is amazing in itself… but it has become way too old and slow for me. I remember buying this with my iPod and getting that great student discount. Ahhh life was good. I even documented opening it. Who doesn’t…
#blogjune – Day 5 – Books & Stuff
I love my Kindle. I realized over the weekend that I had never written about it at the time, but part of my Christmas present from Bill (and it seems half of America got the same gift!) was a gorgeous black Amazon Kindle. I love it – I haven’t been reading as much as usual,…
#blogjune – Day 4 – Stitching Away
Picking back up my Cross Stitch again has been absolutely fantastic. I feel so calm and content when I stitch – maybe it is the whole online life overload where it is emails/news alerts/twitter feeds/facebook updates – I have been feeling more and more like I have had enough of the whole thing! Cross Stitch…
#blogjune – Day 3 – Nigh Nigh Uncle Wal
We were at Ascension Day Mass last night and my phone started vibrating. At the end of Mass I checked and could see mum had rang. We raced home and we both knew what it was. Uncle Wal, who wasn’t my Uncle at all, had passed away. Both of my grandfathers died when I was…
#blogjune – Day 2 – Going Dutch
The past weekend was the Memorial Day long weekend here so we decided to venture to Pennsylvania to spend some time in Lancaster County. I spent three days simply sighing at the beauty of the countryside. It was magnificent and so pristine. The farms looked like scenes from a historical postcard. It was just perfect….
#blogjune – Day 1
I cannot believe it has been a year since we all did #blogeverydayofjune ! Since then there has been the 12 days of Christmas blogging challenge and more recently, the Lent 2011 blogging challenge and as a regular blogger this should be a piece of cake… hopefully! If you are wanting to find a concise…
