Son of Awesome

July 4, 2010 by

Hello from the chill of the Waikato, NZ. This flying visit to celebrate my sister’s 40th was a big surprise to everyone but Lil’ Sis’ and the looks on people’s faces when the penny dropped was priceless!! So glad that I don’t live SO far away that a long weekend home isn’t out of the question… Oh that and ridiculously pleased that the fares were affordable! Thank heaven’s for a competitive market… (but sorry about the carbon footprint…)

I’ve just updated the O for Awesome sidebar – here’s a brief precis of this week’s picks!!

Image of the week is actually a gallery if images I found via Coudal’s Fresh Signals Feed (my no 1 source for things awesome) and just seems to sum up to me the wonder of children’s imaginative play – check out Journey to Everywhere by Jan van Holleben

Surf’s Up is a site called The Creators Project – cool to surf around and see what other creative individuals are getting into!! Some cool music and video and interesting people!

Video of the Week is some ‘tech-cute’ can I get an awwwww? AT-AT Day Afternoon

I’m still reading a Million Miles – but the CD on rotation this week is Technicolor by The Parachute Band. A churchy one for the uninitiated but some very cool stuff if that’s your bent…

Because I’m in NZ I’ve posted http://kiwifruit-the-blog.co.nz/2010/07/a-weekend-of-rellies-and-ralli.html as my featured image – just to give a shout out for one of my longest standing bloggy friends – and the http://sizzlesays.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/i-am/ who had the revelation this week that I hope everyone who’s ever felt small gets sooner rather than later in their life!

Edited to add, I have two lots of featured images – Fi’s who has me all nostalgic for nice wines on her balcony is a bonus!! Have a great week.

    loving the new site and the O is for Awesome is freaking AWESOME!

    I have been thinking about changing my sidebar of awesome to just a button to link to things I like but that is NOTHING compared to your awesomeness.

    Bow to you.

    (and updating my feed now)

      Ooh, thanks Kelley – I confess to a moment of worry that you might think I’d stolen your thunder!! I must, in turn, bow to your prolific posting – a skill I seem to have lost somewhere in the mists of time…

    The wine’s always chilled on our balcony my friend :)

    So what did you pay for your flight?

    Hope you’re having a fantabulous time! Mucho Jealouso of the cheap rates – don’t ever seem to get those in Wynyard or Devonport!

    Fare was $405 incl taxes – cheaper than a trip to Perth! But flying Jetstar – so no bells and whistles… but seriously… who needs them when the flight is only 2.5 hours!!

    Hope you are having fun in NZ!!!!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the redesign (and haha – you finally made the switch eh?) ;)

    I’ve been scouring and scouring to find a better design for mine … but alas – greatness still eludes me. lol – maybe if I could stop changing my mind all of the time I could pick!!

    miss you!! xoxo
