NSW banning laser pointers?

21 April 2008 by kristarella

I just came across this news story. It says the NSW government is banning laser pointers due to the danger posed to pilots and drivers. It caught my attention because it just seems so weird!

24 February 2008 by kristarella

I’m home! It looks like I’ve brought the weather with me too. It was absolutely perfect the whole time we were in the States and now it’s close to that here… Sunny, cool breeze, just the way I like it (even though it’s supposed to be summer!). I’d love to share some of my trip […]

Yesterday was Election Day in Australia. The Campaign It was one of the most uncertain elections in my memory. The campaign by the Labor party (formerly the opposition) was strong. Although, I found a lot of it to be misleading. All of the television adverts I saw misrepresented our government system. They seemed to summarise […]

Around the corner

22 April 2007 by kristarella

The scouts and marching band and all those types are out practicing for the ANZAC Day march, reminding us that it’s on Wednesday. They seem to be further down the street so I can’t get any photos, unless I want to change out of my pyjamas and I don’t feel like it, this is the […]

Monty is feeling a lot better 🤩 just look how k Monty is feeling a lot better 🤩 just look how keen he is to get out of the carrier! (When really sick they just hunker down and sulk) I hope he doesn't resent us too much for the medicine we have to give him for the next two weeks 😬

I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in the new year, but I did this year. I'm not really kissing 2020 goodbye and thinking 2021 will be better; I suspect there are plenty more curve balls coming our way, but I am hopeful that my mindset for the year will be strong and resilient.
