Was perusing my wonderful wall map of NZ when I nearly choked on my swig of tea. There is a town called GISBORNE on the North Island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why has no one told me that before? I am *so* going there! My travel companion will have to bite the…
Sorry for the inconvenience – I am still experimenting with a new look of my blog. I am not quite satisfied with the current design yet. What I really want is a blog theme that has a landing page that shows the current posts in full length and gives a mini pre-view including a thumbnail…
I am testing and playing with my blog right now. I just felt it needed an update, too *ggg*
Have you noticed? WordPress has updated its platform. There is now a new handy “Reader” link in the black menu bar, and as I type, the font of the new post box is very eye-friendly – massive size. Hello to scrolling!!! Tech-Queen Guylty immediately follows suit and offers a number of updates, too. 1. Word…
Events have overtaken me slightly. I have only just realized that today is my second blogiversary. Yay! *throwsconfetti* Wow, things have really changed for me over the course of the past 12 months.

Apologies for skipping last week’s instalment of the weekly round-up. I was offline for most of the time. Add to that the recent tumblr update that has resulted in a new look (and much longer loading times *hmph*), and you can see that I had a lot to catch up to… This week’s round-up will…
This is not a news blog. I don’t post clips and rarely become topical but I have to do this today. I am quite overwhelmed by this: Quite frankly, I think Sir Peter has misnamed the film. It should be called AFTT – A Farewell to Thorin. Well, at least the trailer gives that impression.…
Now – sentimentalities aside again. It’s time to reveal another RAPS. This one started with a commission and a parcel a hundred years ago in June. “What took you so late? It is already dark November.” Truth is – when I make a commissioned RAPS, I put myself under much more pressure than when I…
Forgive me for being selfish and writing an Armitage-less post today. But I had been planning to write this little memorial ever since the summer when so many of you expressed your sympathy over the sudden loss of my father. I was inundated with very welcome messages of consolation and many of you also very…
