Jenny Esots has finished jury duty.
It has been a stop/start month.
Not really having a home - shuttling between the Samuel Way Building in Adelaide via car & train and TPC workplace.
Yes I will miss the Adelaide wanders, the coffee and reading time, felt just so decadent(!)
Now I'll have to get my 'me' time other ways.
Definately going to do more city wanders on my days off - Palace Nova here we come.
Will write more on the jury process - Sunday Mail due a letter.

Just gone digital!
It's mid 2009 and I have finally taken the plunge and got an SLR Digital camera.
$899 Canon @ Ted's in Rundle Street.
And so now to experiment.
So many other items and things on the to do list.
Have been continuing to shop up a storm - fun days.

The Ashes in the wardrobe
Just reading 'The Household Guide to Dying'
Thinking about gravesites and the pro's and con's.
This is mainly because I have the ashes of my mum and dad in my wardrobe.
Is this appropiate?
I am inclined to agree with the siblings regarding gravesites being obsolete.
Know of so many people who never visit them.
But still I would like to think there is a peaceful place to remember them by.
The question has always been where - where indeed.
Both parents having not stipulated this - which begs the question even more that it is not neccessary.
But still there are these ashes in the wardrobe???????

Family Memories
Shared pain?
Old hurts
Misgivings and missed opportunities
There must be some light
Why do always see the wrongs magnified?

Doing time with TPC and the problem with chain emails
How ever well intentioned a chain email can invoke underlying hostility and irritability - like why me? What gives? Do I have time for this?
So I decided to send a recipe exchange one on - seems harmless enough, but one person has a pathological objection and the other is peeved. I suspect many will just bin it. The other consideration is the calibre of who sent it to you, and I value my friend Jane.
Oh well, by the way I have never found out how to do spell check on this blog....
S'posed to be on jury service however it is a bit of a non event this week.
I really look forward to my wanders in Adelaide.
Maybe Friday????

Port Fairy in King Tide
Raging waves power up the coast.
Leaving footpaths covered and locals podering unseen levels of the water.
Such a quaint spot - no overt tourism.
The wharf, cafes and lots of blue stone.
Had to check out the local library - old building, well set out with tables and chairs and places to read - Willunga please take note.
Would have loved to do a bit of fine dining.
Maybe next time.
Oh and it was a family reunion.
Shared memories, only different views.

Things to do in Port Fairy......................
1. Have a family reunion with brother and sister.
2. Have breakfast, lunch and dinner in a cafe/restaurant
3. Go for walks
4. Remember & celebrate
Long drive there and back. 6 hours each way.
I would really like it if I had a relative here who could take the boys to the cinema.
Julian hasn't got his licence yet, nearly, and Jaz has licence but no car.
My latest film recommendation is 'Mary & Max' bitter sweet story involving mental illness and 'therapeutic interventions'.
In the meantime can you organise the finances of the WGV and make a policy statement about public encounters in Willunga Uniting Church.
Also follow up school uniform issues, cleaning the floors music practice and plans for conferences and workshops and seminars and choir etc.
Yours in anticpiation.
Also received my licence back from a chemist I had not recollected giving it to. Too late I'd already ordered another one.

Shopping up a frenzy with my loyalty card
Why do I feel guilty when I spend?
Have bought a few clothing items recently.
Black vest and jacket - Ezibuy-no loyalty card - used to be Flybuys.
Skirt and two skivvy tops - Katies-loyalty card.
Woolen stockings - Myers-loyalty card.
A scarf from Just Jeans-loyalty card.
Doc Martin boots - Trims-loyalty card.
An accumulating points all over the place.
Things still to buy-:
A new watch - old one died after 25 years - broke timer off on the plane to Melbourne, trying to change the time.
More woolen stockings.
New oven - plus kitchen.
New computer - I'm in the library again.
