Kumano Kodo

8 January 2019 by kristarella 1 Comment

Last July my team went to Japan. On our main activity day we went for a hike on a portion of the Kumano Kodo trail.

Bible reading printouts

6 January 2019 by kristarella Leave a Comment

In setting up my journal for the year I decided to include two bible trackers. One is all the chapters of the bible, so I can mark what I’ve read in any context (church, bible study, solo study). The other is the Bible Reading for Shirkers and Slackers plan, which is great for those that […]

We attended a couple of birthday parties for friends’ children in January. February was a very routine month, which included working […]

Using photo location data

13 October 2018 by kristarella Leave a Comment

I have just updated Exifography to version 1.3.1. The changes in the plugin are relatively small, but one thing it does enable is to fetch geo data from images in a variety of formats. In the future this should make it easier to build add-on plugins, such as a map-based directory of photos. For now […]

Shirahama, Japan

5 July 2018 by kristarella 1 Comment

My current team at work is named Patronus and we have just spent a week in Shirahama, Japan. Shirahama is a coastal town in the Wakayama Prefecture, South of Osaka. For the first few days it was pretty quiet, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It got a little busier over the […]

Highlights of 2017

1 January 2018 by kristarella Leave a Comment

I spent some of my holiday time preparing my bullet journal for 2018 and thought I would make a final spread in my 2017 journal looking back on the year. My depression and anxiety were a bit worse overall this year compared to last, but in spite of that it was a good year. This […]

Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the li Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the little blurbs they write about each plant, like how the moon cactus (tall one at the back) needs to be grafted onto another to grow because of its red chlorophyll. I wasn’t keen on the suggested arrangement with the small ones around the outside because I’ll have this on a shelf, so I rearranged them, but I feel like something needs to go in the front left 🤔 We shall see!#lego #legobotanicalcollection #legosucculents

I don’t have enough pieces though (I’ve already run out of roof tiles), I will keep working on the tan structures while I decide whether to get more of the same bags, or order sand green pieces separately.
