So Singular in Each Particular
by
I have 3, count them 3 monitors on my desk… starting to feel much more like a SPHTML*. Admittedly there are only two computers, one monitor is the laptop one which is connected to a bigger brighter stand alone 17in beauty…
Anyway, I have lots more to post but really should be working… Just had to let some of the excitement out before I burst …

So, I get to write a bit more becaus Ache is running late…
I wanted to mention that I purchased my first mangoes of the season today ($1.97ea)… I am still waiting for the nectarines to come down a bit in price, they are still over $5.50 but watch out… I am a summer fruit animal… Then there’s the cherries… they drop after Christmas… Woo hoo… now I have to sit on my hands till the mangoes get just a little more ripe… Oh for Shame… I don’t know how long I can stand it…
I think I also promised to update on the flat situation… the Count will be moving into Bliss’ room early in December… he, (yes, he) is a colleague, an accountant… (hence the name) and quite possibly one of the most intense people I have ever met… quintessentially melancholic and pedantic and from all appearances quite possibly one of the straightest people on planet earth. When Bliss and I talked about him we decided that it would either work out very well, or be a complete disaster. She also added that if it was a complete disaster at least I would have lots of stories to tell. He is staying till February which will tide me over till the time when more people are likely to be looking for a change of scene so I think I can bear it till then…I wonder if it will be slightly weird working with my roomate, he sits behind me at the office… Too close for comfort???
On another work note I believe when I go back to work tomorrow I will have a new desktop computer with all the bells and whistles required for Supreme Potentates of HTML… Only bummers are, I can’t bring it home, will have to learn Photoshop (I am a PaintShopPro girl at the moment…), and will now have a computer on my desk that other people can use if I’m not there… I HATE THAT… (Sorry Territorial Girl slipped out for a second… )
Enough Said

First off is a nod to James who has been posting images from around Australia lately… He posted one from Queenscliff, Victoria I thought you might like to see one of Queenscliff NSW… Actually, this is my neck of the woods, in fact you can actually see my unit block in it! If you are in the neighbourhood and up early enough you might see me walking along grass strip above the lagoon (rhs of the picture) all the way up to the beach and from there all the way to the top of the picture (Manly) and back… it takes about an hour round trip and I did it this morning for the 1st time in ages… Consequently I am rather sore this evening…
Second is a quick report for Ian who wanted a rundown on church last night. It was brilliant, Ken Duncan the photographer I mentioned showed us some of the images from his latest book ‘Reflections’. What a legend, the book is a series of images of Australia and quotes from Scripture and various people and is absolutely stunning. It was awesome to see someone who is so widely known so unashamed of his faith in God and so gobsmacked by creation. A great night. Bet and I had a great time there and finished the night off with a trip to the pub… A perfect evening!
Finally I actually need to log off as I have a girlfriend coming over to use the computer… eeek! A whole eveing with out it… I might need a couple of wines (hmmm wine … lovely stuff) by way of an anaesthetic… I will just have to watch the 2nd last episode of Friends instead… yes we are WAY behind… thanks a heap Channel 9 …

Well, I have 2 hours to go in the babysitting marathon… will be ringing Bet and suggesting coffee before church rather than spending the whole afternoon together. I am really keen to go church tonight as a rather well known Australian photographer will be showing of images from his new book… Let’s say I have a keen interest in seeing photographers who are stunning the world… Great inspiration… Otherwise I would probably reschedule till next week sometime…
The kids (3) I have sat for this weekend are great friends who I have been sitting for for about 4 years… needless to say they have grown up A LOT in that time and we are all pretty much family now… I love it… The little guy is the last person to propose to me… though at 7 years old now he would be embrassed to be reminded that I was his no 2 girl when he was 5 (Mum was number 1 but married already…).
I have to confess though, my patience was shorter than usual last night due to my shallow emotional tank… Still, I think I might have got away with it, I was lenient on the bed time for them but hard on myself and so, with around 10 hours sleep I am feeling a bit more on the level.
Thank goodness…
And then, I saw this article on the NZ Herald website. Only wish these fares were coming up before Christmas rather than in the New Year…
