Toscani’s

4 December 2005 by kristarella

Toscani’s is my former favourite restaurant. Yes, that’s right, former. Tonight, despite my persistent cough and my blocked ears I went off to church and had quite a nice time. I wasn’t able to sing, or not brave enough to, because I couldn’t hear myself and could easily have been out of tune, but the […]

Firefox

4 December 2005 by kristarella

Firefox is the coolest browser ever! I love tabbed browsing! I also love that you can close a tab and then “undo close tab”, there’s even a list of the last however-many tabs closed and you can open one of them. These features may actually be from an extension and not with the bare Firefox. […]

sleeping in

4 December 2005 by kristarella

I used to be nearly as good at sleeping in as my husband, on weekends we would sleep in until 11 or 12, maybe 1pm and get up and eat “breakfast”. Lately though I can’t sleep in past 10am, which admittedly is later than a lot of other people sleep, but he is still asleep […]

Buffy Musica

3 December 2005 by kristarella

The best site ever for downloading free mp3s of great music is http://www.buffygalaxy.com/audio.htm. It’s an Italian website but you don’t need to speak or read Italian to navigate it; it’s pretty straight forward. It has pretty much every song ever played on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They used so many great songs on Buffy by […]

virus

3 December 2005 by kristarella

Today I’m sick, as I was yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that. It could be called post exam disorder – due to doing way too much stuff all semester, putting every last bit of energy into final exams and then crashing. I crashed big time. […]

Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for t Yesterday we had a family gathering to visit for the first time where Gran's ashes are interred, next to Grandpa's. Afterwards we had a long lunch, at which Mark was a champ. I'm so grateful to have all these people who love me and love Mark. And super thankful to have such a social and easy going baby.

Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterda Mark and I had a great time at Brickbuilt yesterday! 10 photos cannot cover it, so I might have to post again 😆Thanks everyone involved in organising, exhibiting, and for chatting to us about your builds!#brickbuiltsydney #brickbuiltsydney2022 #lego #afol @sydlug #legomastersau
Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some at Finally got a chance to pay these pretties some attention! Stabilised wood and resin pairings from @pensbycasey_ . The photo doesn't do them justice; the red burl is gorgeous and the blue and green colourshift resin is amazing. They don't have their perfect ink matches yet, but that's okay, I'll use up what is in them and try a different combo next time.#fountainpen #fountainpens #handmadeinaustralia
Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this Rey and BB-8 on Tatooine.This is a reuse of this habitat, but I added another sun and a little more terrain. Fitting scene, as the sun has already set on my Star Wars day. I'd love to do a more gradual sunset, but I don't quite have the yellow and orange plates right now.#maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #starwarsday #lego #legostarwars #afol #legomaydare @giothebrickjedi_andfam @nicole_s_brick_build_world
My little Yoda 💚Today might be known as Star My little Yoda 💚Today might be known as Star Wars Day for some, it is also my late grandfather's birthday. One of my memories (both actual memory and photo memory) is Grandpa dressing up as Santa. I don't know if he liked sci-fi, but I'd like to think he would have enjoyed dressing up with us on occasion 🤍#maythefourthbewithyou #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #starwars #starwarsday #yoda #babyyoda #marksymonds #crochet
