Good on you Liam. Enjoy studying :) When do you start?

Excellent. The world needs more librarians!!There was a time when I thought of doing that myself...
Sandy wrote: " The world needs more librarians!!"Well technically I still won't be one - to be a librarian you have to go through the Uni librarianship course. I'll just be what I am now, only I'll have qualifications.

January 28, two days after my birthday :P

To be fair I get hayfever all year round :C just much less during autumn/winter.
Heyfever is driving me crazy this year, I have also heard that it will get worse before it gets better, and none of the heyfever tablets seem to relieve the sneezing they have only stopped my skin from being so itchy.
Can sympathise with all you hay fever sufferers. I used to get it severely too. My eyes used to swell till they were only slits. And sneeze etc. Till I found out what I was allergic to and it was none of the common things. I could even have wattle in my home without any problem but couldn't get within metres of a crepe myrtle even if it wasn't flowering. Worse when it did. Keep me away from them and I'm fine.

Wow they (photo's) are beautiful. But fancy that, taking all these beautiful photo's and she has not developed them or seen them while she was alive.
It has been awhile since I have been on here.. :) It was my birthday on the 18th.. :-D and on the 17th I went to Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour show.. It was really great. I got spoilt for my birthday. Had a really great time! :) I hope you all have a great weekend.. :D

Excellent stuff, Michael, thanks for posting.

Incredible and intriguing images from an enigmatic photographer. Thanks for sharing, Michael.

Cannot stop watching Gordon Ramsay at the moment. Slowly working through Kitchen Nightmares.
I've just changed my internet and phone carrier to Telstra. Opted for their Max bundle: unlimited mobile calls to all carriers untimed, unlimited landline calls to all carriers/types of phone anywhere in Aust untimed and a beautiful 200gb of internet (with a modem and a stick). All for $115 pm. I'm pretty happy.And they offer a free service where their customer tech comes to your house to set the internet up for you!
I'm pleased about that; just been through a should-have-been-painless but became a two month long painful process of swapping to a new laptop with a new operating system. To be safe, I got in an IT guy but he proved to be the worst IT person in the universe! I've become a little operating system/carrier shy, read that as nervous/just want to touch my laptop purely for fun stuff so I'm glad for Telstra's free service.
That's an excellent deal, Bette. I'd certainly be happy with that.
Be careful Bette, Telstra are by far the worst internet suppliers I've ever dealt with.
Liam wrote: "Be careful Bette, Telstra are by far the worst internet suppliers I've ever dealt with."Oh:( The deed is done now. I'm contracted for 12 months.
I've had Optus but here in south-west Victoria, they do admit they only have 80% proper coverage; trying to connect some days is murder and worse if there's a high wind for some reason. It has the habit of dropping out at crucial moments too.
Vicki wrote: "That's an excellent deal, Bette. I'd certainly be happy with that."Vicki, I had humongous phone bills, I call lots of people in Melbourne, SE NSW coast, QLD and USA on my landline and mobile. It's nothing for me to be on the phone for over an hour each time and the cost was starting to be ridiculous. This is what happens when you pack up and move down the coast - bigger phone bills. So it would have been silly not to try this new bundle.
Hopefully you'll be fine. We don't even have a land line because we pay more in line maintenance than in actual calls.
We have a landline* but don't use it. Instead we use Amaysim prepaid (no flagfall and 12c/min - only 6c/mim to US, UK, and NZ!). Since we've switched, we've saved a small fortune. Bette's Telstra deal is probably better for heavy users,*We only keep the landline because we're in a bushfire-prone area.

Ouch! Then you will definitely be better off Bette.

I feel sorry for Victor Harbour around this time of year.

This guy was incredible; funnily I was surprised he was 71! I think he should have got more recognition that he did. A shame for him.
All the books in the bottom shelf of my dining room bookcase were re-arranged yesterday by my grand-niece. She lined them all up end to end across the floor very neatly. Obviously she has inherited my family OCD-ness:)
Liam wrote: "Just saw Gravity - was good!"I'm not really a movie buff Liam but I'm very keen to see Gravity. It looks great.
Today my little Ironing business has been going for 17 years. It's hard to imagine that I've been ironing other people's clothes for that long. I think I can hear retirement calling :)
You're a better woman than me, Sharon. I hate ironing and buy clothes that don't need it.
