I read a lot. But not as much as I used to, and some of that is reading slump. I tend to read in the genre end of things- sci fi, fantasy, romance and mysteries. I also read a bit of non-fiction. I don’t do horror.

This is Australia Day weekend (Australia Day is our 4 th of July but with added racism)

I am going to a rally this weekend in support of legalising abortion in my state. It is still illegal here and there is little political appetite on either side of politics. One of the reasons that it is still illegal is that people don’t realise it is illegal, because there are a fee loopholes.  Anyway, I have no…

Pokémon go? Does anyone play it. I started a couple of years ago when it was new, lost interest after a couple of months. Ha just looked at my information. Started November 2016, played regularly until about may 2017 and then stopped. Interest revived about a month ago, but now they have this friend thing and meh. …

It is Australia Day today (April 25). judging by the public holiday, the most holy of days (seriously, shops open on Easter and on Christmas but do not and will not open on ANZAC day and when one chain hinted it wanted to the public backlash was interesting ). The date commemorates the day of landing of one of…

I bought an app today that will supposedly help me be more organised about my clothes and then I threw all my clothes on the bed and tried.

Every so often my husband decides to do some genealogy stuff. It usually winds up with him finding some new corner of my tree. This is odd. My parents are English, but I was born and grew up in America (west coast and New Mexico). I now live in Australia. I grew up thinking of my parents families as poor and mostly…

My alma mater is doing something interesting - they are offering free board and tuition for the spring semester for students enrolled at the university of Puerto Rico. There is an application process, so it isn’t a free for all.

But perhaps highly specific.

My stepson, who is chronically underemployed and needed us to rescue his car two weeks ago just bought personalised plates. We had to buy new brakes because his were dead, but he has the spare $$ to buy the expensive plates?!

I know it’s many years old, but I have just gotten into it. It takes me a while to play games because my primary gaming time was my commute and I drive now, so gaming is not an option.

I don’t think I got any targeted ads (how would I know?) but my FB profile and activity is pretty minimal

This is our home Christmas and it is bringing me down. One year in three we are here, with my family, one year in Rockhampton with my husband’s and one year away (usually Japan). Christmas at home usually means Christmas Day at my dad’s and Boxing Day at my mum’s. This year my brother and sister are also here (they…

I know there have been some lists, but can’t find them. Is anyone talking about extending this to the Kushners? (SIL who he wants top security clearance for). Boycott the Observer plus any business advertising in it?

I was going to put this on FB, but then thought it is a bit wordy. I am work and my day has been summarising policy and trying not to cry. It is thoughts, I may rethink it later

Made the mistake of looking at five thirty eight. What the hell happened?

Exc pt that it isn’t people trying to vote for Hillary

So I went and saw the ghostbusters movie last night with my husband and his friend. It was a good escape, we have had some not happy news lately and this was a chance to get out of the house and forget and it worked.
