NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

 

School Holiday joy

Posted: July 4, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Parenting, Raising Hell, Thought For the Day | Tags: , | 2 Comments

Ah, the first Monday of the first week of the school holidays. This morning I actually thought I would,

a) be able to finish a sentence

and

b) be able to finish a cup of coffee before it went cold

and

c) be able to put a load of washing on before my children started to maim each other.

My theory is that Mother Nature makes us naive enough to think that today will be different. This time I’ll be the perfect mother and my children will be characterless robots with clean bedrooms. How’s the serenity?

This is my day job and I love it

Le Tour de France

Posted: July 2, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: LOVE, Self improvement | Tags: , , , | 2 Comments

Ladies start your engines, the Buns on Bikes tour is about to start. What is not to love? 21 days of watching tight, perspiring bottoms in lycra, beautiful French villages, sexy accents and panoramic scenery (the route changes every year). Viewing the Tour de France on TV is a veritable smorgasbord for confirmed couch potatoes. Especially in Australia, where, because of the time difference, it is aired on late night TV in winter. So work up a sweat on the sofa dressed in yellow jersey, with a glass of French something or other and a bite of croque Monsieur. Vive la France!
