Random Numbers - 'Look at me'

 How many photos of you are there on Facebook? (Tagged – it shows when you go to your profile). Post one – not the one that makes you hottest, but one that shows you having the most fun.


I'm tagged in 17 photos according to Facebook, the coolest thing is that they are from all over, in time and in space, put up by me, friends from here, there, now and years ago. thats cool.


Here's one from last summer showing me holding my son so Kelly could take his photo, I don't know for how much longer I will be able to overpower him, hes growing big and fast! Soon to be 'buff',  apparently, ....... he told his dad that and his dad said 'whats buff?'    hehe. I did laugh.

Random Numbers - ooh i did one! 'City Uniform'

In the wrong order of course (-Random-)

The City uniform

Black tops? - 2 that I regularly wear for work but black pants? there another question. Thats an everyday item so I have 5 pairs of long ones and a pair of short ones. I love not having to worry too much about what to wear for work, I have to look reasonably smart (even if I end up under desks plugging shit in!) I could wear jeans every day if I wanted but I like to put on the 'Uniform' and expect to be taken seriously. So black pants and a shirt it is. - Leaves room for colourful tops if I'm in the mood!

Random Numbers preliminary post

I obviously need a poke with a stick to use this blog as nothing gets done on its own, the next bunch of entries will be all about numbers. I got the idea from @josiecampbell whom I found during the #30daysofme blogfest.
I will be using her suggestions and may even interject some of my own, like 'How many (english) words did you use today that people didn't understand.' 


I think it'll be a good one as I like to know how much of everything there is and the idea of documenting it really appeals to me!


I also like that there are no time contraints and I don't have to write one every day. I will start in the next day or so - it will get posted to twitter too with the #randomnumbers hashtag

Water - Blog Action Day 15 Oct 2010

Rather than showing depressing pictures of people dying from starvation, walking for miles to collect water and banging on about how we are all selfish and doomed I thought I would share this video with a more positive angle.

'Too much of the world lacks access to clean drinking water. Engineer Michael Pritchard did something about it -- inventing the portable Lifesaver filter, which can make the most revolting water drinkable in seconds. An amazing demo from TEDGlobal 2009.'

30 Days of Me - its all over, what next?

Well that was fun, sometimes.
A bit too much sharing in one lump for me to continue on with another #30daysofme type challenge. But it has poked me with the stick of blog updating.
Next?
Some are continuing with a different daily or weekly challenge but for me it will be this one off (until the next one off comes along), inspired by friends from the twitterverse.
On October 15th its the United Nations Blog action day, supporting the UN trying to bring clean water to the millions of people around the world who don't have access to it.
As anyone who knows me even a little bit (if its just through this blog and twitter) will realise, Water and helping others are two of my passions so I have a week to turn out something spectacular for the post, we'll see.

30 Days of Me - Day 30 Your favorite song.

Day 30- Your favorite song.


What a wimpy question to finish on!


So difficult to think of just one.
But if I had to, then it would have to be this chap, and this song. Sooo many memories and good times had to the soundtrack of this album.

30 Days of Me - Day 29 In this past month, what have you learned?

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned.

About Bees.

I have learned always to wear welly boots and thick jeans with my bee jacket when opening a hive. 3 stings in so many weeks is not good.
I've also learned that I swell up and go red and itchy for days from bee stings and I dont like it!


About Blogging.
I've learned how to schedule posts, and use feedburner to send them to twitter, also that I should do it more and read peoples stuff more often. Now I have a list of nice and interesting people from twitter that I follow courtesy of the 30daysofme hashtag. I've also leaned that there are lot of people out there with very similar tastes in music, food, pastimes, jokes and the world feels less lonely for meeting all youse through twitter and this blogging challenge.
My Twitter list created from females I follow mostly from #30daysofme > http://twitter.com/#!/KerryPayne/the-ladies

About Boating.

We saw dolphins this weekend too, not these ones, these are last years ones, actually they could be the same, it was in a similar area.

Even if it looks like its going to be a lovely hot sunny weekend, take at least 3 jumpers, a beanie and a pair of socks. It was fecking cold out there this weekend just gone ( I should really know all this but still associate sailing with hot summeryness and tropical climes)
