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 […]

Farewell to 2018

3 January 2019 by kristarella Leave a Comment

Twenty eighteen. It happened! This year I tried to summarise the year with doodles. It was a fun exercise; I’m still not good at doodling, but that’s okay! The first quarter was pretty quiet. 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 […]

Wooden yarn swift

1 January 2018 by kristarella Leave a Comment

These holidays I took advantage of my husband’s new woodworking hobby to make a better yarn swift! My previous one was cobbled together from pieces found at Bunnings (hardware store) and it worked okay, but seemed to get worse with each use. The wing nut on the top would keep tightening down and locking the […]

Another fun day at the zoo! I was excited to see h Another fun day at the zoo! I was excited to see how great the Vivid displays look during day since I didn't try to see them at night. Mark wasn't quite ready for photos with the gorilla sculptures. He stared at the mummy gorilla for some time and then decided he didn't like it and started to cry 😢 a cuddle with human mummy fixed that 😂

This cheeky monkey is ten months old today!He h This cheeky monkey is ten months old today!He has 3 teeth out, and that tongue is often out feeling what is going on with those too! He is super close to crawling. He can shuffle himself around and did a couple of alternate knee motions yesterday before slipping onto his tummy again. He doesn't like lying down and sits up at every opportunity. He is rubbish at sleeping (worse than ever), but usually makes up for it with how happy he is during the day.#marksymonds
Final day is stack day for #LEGODisneyHabitats wit Final day is stack day for #LEGODisneyHabitats with @brickfambuilds and @trickybricks!I only made 4 habitats this time, so for a balanced stack I threw in my Magic Kingdom castle and Mickey from last year.I made a couple of small improvements on some of the habitats too: a clock and key for Alice, an extra wall row for Luke and Leia (somehow I made that one too short 🤦🏻‍♀️) and the finishing top rail for Ariel and Eric, which I think goes nicely next to the rabbit hole.#lego #afol #legohabitat #legohabitats #legohabitatstack #legodisney #legodisneyhabitatstack
