Autumn leaves in Albury

April 27, 2008

    I was down in Albury for the long weekend, and being autumn, it was very pretty. So very pretty.  Can’t say much else really.  Just very pretty. My sister and I had lots of fun playing in the leaves.  It was a shame it was so wet though. Tweet Delicious Digg Facebook Ping [...]

Wodonga- now with more balls

December 30, 2007

I stopped at Gateway Island today, which is just on the Victorian side of the Murray River.  There is a lagoon there, arts and crafts shops, the local theatre company, and a lagoon. I took a photo of the reflection of trees on the lagoon, then turned it upside down.  You know I like messing [...]

Morning dawning

December 29, 2007

When I left work at 6am this morning I went up to Monument Hill in Albury to watch the sunrise and take some photos.  It’s very beautiful and peaceful up there, all bushy with the Albury War Memorial (pretty much the only landmark in town) up the top.  I was particularly interested in the way [...]

Oh little town of Boredom

December 27, 2007

Being back in my hometown so often reminds me of why I left.  There really isn’t a huge amount of things to do except watch shows like Property Ladder, A Place in Spain, America’s Next Top Model, Hell to Hotel, Trinny and Susannah, Airline and Air Hostess School on Foxtel (sorry… Austar… the country version).  [...]

Merry birthday big boy upstairs

December 27, 2007

After getting home from work at the pizzadome at 5am on Christmas morning (I was lucky, I got to leave early!) after dealing with my brother’s intoxicated friends and a strange old man propositioning me in a repulsive and annoying way (and a lot of cheerful happy lovely people too), I grabbed a few hours [...]

Forgot the “out with the old” bit…

Our Christmas tree for this year, on the left. Last year’s Christmas tree, dead, on right. You don’t even want to see the inside of the house… Tweet Delicious Digg Facebook Ping Stumble

Puppy battle part II

December 22, 2007

(that could almost be a LOLpup… CAN I PLZ HALP GROW DA PLANTZ? or something along those lines) I know he looks like he wouldn’t hurt a fly.  Pogo is undeniably cute. But if you don’t remember the first time Pogo and I met, it involved the complete ruin of an expensive handbag of mine [...]

Livin’ on the highway…

December 19, 2007

I was on the road all day today, heading home for Christmas. Being on the highway for six hours was surprisingly nice. Cranking up the music, screaming lyrics with the windows down without any fear of humiliation was very satisfying. Escaping the concrete barricades of the city was something I have been needing to do [...]

Puppy perils

July 22, 2007

While he may look absolutely gorgeous, this little bundle of fluff is usurping my rightful position as pack leader of the family home.  Pogo, as he is known, is our new family puppy, who is being treated as if he is human child by my mother, and who wasn’t particularly chuffed when I waltzed back [...]

Albury’s new library

July 22, 2007

Albury’s new library and museum is a striking example of contemporary design that you rarely see outside the major cities. While many locals will probably flip out and say it is crazy, I think it is a fantastic building and I’m glad the council had the guts to go with something so bold and original, [...]
