I posted off the cheques earlier this week for my charity beneficiaries for 2009, and so now I think it is the time to announce my blog profits charity pledge for 2010: The Australian Red Cross does such important work with their Blood Services that that alone would qualify them for my support – in any…
After my 10km run in November, I’ve been wondering what my next sporting goal should be. Adam’s got his, the Murray-to-Moyne 24hr bike ride in March. It’s early days yet, but I’ve been thinking of giving this a go: Run Melbourne Website Why? Well for the challenge, obviously, and the exercise. Plus to see if I can…
Degraves is one of my favourite places in the city and this shot pretty much encapsulates why; the talking, the cafes, the people, a pretty girl in black tights walking down the sidewalk.

I recently bought this badge for fifty cents at a thrift store and attached it to the inside of my handbag. Hopefully every time I look in there – which is often! – I will take a little inspiration. This is until my son finds it, I’m sure, and he’ll decide it’s his to play…
The last two photos I’ve posted, and the ones you see in the collage above, were all taken with my iPhone. The first thing I did when I got it set up properly was get the ‘toy camera’ application because I was so impressed when Penni did a post talking about it. So, I guess…
