Dramatis persona*
Helen Chick
I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"! I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1! * Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona. Visits since May 2016 |
Most of my previous December “12 of 12” collections have included something about Christmas card writing. It must be that time of year. I forgot to take my lunch to work, and so had to pop down to “Lazenby’s” to get one of the nice sushi packs that they stock. I returned via the bush track before […] Today was a day for mostly forgetting to take photos, in part because I hadn’t picked a theme or focus for the day. I remembered while I was marking … and letting my eyes wander out the window and around the room to which I’d escaped because my office is a disaster area. I remembered to take […] A messy week and some problems with one of our Scout boat trailers meant that this camp did not get off to quite the start we’d intended, but eventually we got most people and most things to where they needed to be, and set up tents for the first night in readiness for the weekend’s activities. […] There were some contrasts to be had in today’s 12 of 12, with the day beginning at work with a three-hour meeting, focusing on the new performance framework (yet another iteration of workplace management practices). It was about as riveting as the associated document cover. In the afternoon I left work and headed north to Launceston, meeting […] So, umm, apparently people having birthdays like to have cakes. I kind of knew this, but in a household of one this hadn’t been a pressing requirement of domestic life. However, with the household now larger, and with both youngsters having birthdays in early August, it was time for cake making … and, not just cake […] The past month has been challenging and sad. My dear friend Lisa, who has been unwell for some time, passed away on Saturday 8 June, after being in hospital for nearly 3 weeks. The funeral was today, and I’m going to use part of this 12 of 12 to do a little reminiscing. I only started to […] A rather miscellaneous collection of photos for this month’s 12 of 12. Over breakfast I finalised the preparation of the lesson I had been asked to give at Church today. This is the view from the room in which I taught the lesson. I reckon it has the best view of any chapel in the world (based on […] A long day, which began with me having to reassemble my prepacked-ready-for-Scout-camp bag, which had become disassembled after Jamboree and Regatta. It was a rush job, and so it still isn’t quite in the state I used to keep it. I went to work. It was a lovely day outside … and so I took some photos […] Today I picked a theme: clouds. Every so often during the day I would get out and look skyward and take a picture. It was an interesting day for clouds, and my favourite shot is the third one (although the ninth technically doesn’t belong in the collection!). [The advantage of this month’s collection is that no […] The day began with a rainy morning, after a hot, dry January with many bushfires. Hopefully the rain will go some way to finally extinguishing the remnant smouldering bits. My Mum kindly dropped around an egg and bacon pie, which will solve the Tuesday dinner problem before my evening rehearsal (and some other meals later in what […] |
