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 |
I don’t think we’ve had crepuscular rays before. And they’re golden-orange, which is not the typical colour for crepuscular rays. And they’re pointing upwards in contrast to the more usual downwards. This was about as spectacular as it got, though. Perhaps I am noticing the mountain more, or it’s being more interesting in its moods, but in any […] As I come in my front door (which I don’t do very often, because I tend to come inside via the garage) my eyes immediately strike the collection of things shown in the photo at right (and when I come in via the garage I walk past them as well, but in passing rather than having […] This morning’s mountain was half-lit in the morning sun, and the angle of the light has made the Organ Pipes feature quite clear so I’ve enlarged that part of the photo so you can see some of the detail. Most of the mountain is dolerite, an igneous rock which cools slowly enough to create the columns […] These were sorted out nearly two weeks ago; they get counted today. Fourteen years’ worth of the Church youth magazines, together with five magazine boxes. I spent most of today slaving away in the garage, sorting out more piles for elimination. Some of them have even made it to the rubbish bin already, although they won’t be counted […] Not the most spectacular sunset but still quite pretty at the end of a hot and blustery day. The full “Moods of the Mountain” collection (with larger versions of the photos) can be […] I’ve been here for nearly two years and have done next to nothing with the garden apart from mowing the lawn occasionally and glaring at the bamboo. Actually, I have done more than just glaring, as I have removed some of the new shoots when they’ve reared their ugly heads, but removing the little thicket is […] Decided to get rid of some piles of old filed bits of personal administration: old bills and the like from my Victorian days. Since they had some personal information on them (for old addresses, mind you) I thought it best to shred them. The shredder had other ideas, and overheated towards the end. Fortunately it got […] No stories today, just a pile of dead and/or ancient rechargeable batteries, and two redundant chargers. No stories, but another 17 items gone. I’m going to have to put in some hard yards this weekend, because I’d like to get rid of plenty of stuff (and there’s certainly plenty to go), and I’d like to have things organised […] When I moved from Melbourne nearly two years ago there were some last minute things that needed to stay unpacked or which arrived after I’d packed. These were collected into a shoebox, which came with me in the car when I crossed Bass Strait on the ferry. And then, in the midst of all the unpacking a […] Okay, something weird happened for this one. I sorted out all my old Church magazines into three categories — the one for kids, the one for youth, and the one for grown ups – a week or so ago, and took photos of them back then, ready for the three days for which I was going to […] |
