And you know who’s to blame? I think it might be Grammar Girl. The first time I’ve seen her in months and she passes on her plague! Yeah, friends. All about sharing.
All my holiday plans! Destroyed! I will have to lie in bed, coughing feebly and moaning. And poor Pooka! Who will walk her! She’ll [...]

I have a cold
Wiblog entry for 19/05/2008
Does removing items from my to-do list because I’ve decided not to do them count as being productive? I think it must because my to-do list is much shorter than it was.
Wiblog entry for 17/05/2008
So finally my one week of holidays for third year have arrived. This means that I’m half-way through third year. Although not in terms of assessments. Just that I’ve done four out of eight rotations.
And I am exhausted. Today I got up at about 11, had breakfast, went back to bed til 12:30, took Pooka [...]
all done
My RSS adventure wasn’t too traumatic. I checked out the google reader one. Then downloaded NetNewsWire from the Apple website and it is doing the job well, in a format I like. Hurrah for that. I have put all my non-wibsite blogs into it and will do the wiblogs tomorrow perhaps.
In other news I hit [...]
new horizons
I am thinking about attempting to make use of RSS feeds. I know. Crazy huh? It will streamline my internet faffing around somewhat… and did you know that you can subscribe to flickr feeds too? I just have to um… do it… somehow… I will make my brother give me a tutorial.
It’s weird how I [...]

So my car started making funny noises a couple of days ago. My younger brother is into avoidance as a coping strategy and thought it was fine. That evening he went to see my older brother who said the noise was bad. Yesterday I was about to go to church and it was making the [...]
People you meet #10 – the ones who appreciate quality
So yesterday I came across another dog’s tag along the bush track. I picked it up, intending to give it to the owner when I saw them. Conveniently enough, this was in about 2 minutes time when I arrived at the park.
I handed it over, and he was very pleased and said that I’d saved [...]
A trip to the hardware store
Today I bought four items.
* A lightbulb
* Some baby spinach seeds (I don’t know if they will grow into adult spinach if I don’t eat them while they’re babies…)
* two buckets.
The lightbulb is an energy saving one, however it has two features that encouraged me to give it a try. It is 20W (supposedly equivalent [...]
a water dog
(Apologies to those on dial up – series of Pooka photos follow)
Pooka has mixed feelings about water.
She likes playing in puddles. This means she gets quite dirty on occasion. Last week was one of those occasions, and I had to dump her in the bath when we got back. It looked like this when I’d [...]
