7 March to 8 March 2010

I totally forgot to check my new website in Internet Explorer. I hate that browser with a passion and had put it totally out of my mind. SO if you are looking at this site in IE I suggest you get rid of that awful browser and move over to the much safer Firefox. Then you will be able to see my new site.

In the meantime I am trying to work out the coding so the navigation will work in IE. I am grinding all my teeth down to the jawline.

2 March to 6 March 2010

This site may look just the same as my last site as I have retained the banner and the layout however once you click on the top navigation bar you will notice a difference. I have been working toward putting this renovated website online for the past two months or more. When I began the project, I had ideas to bring the number of pages up to about 70. But I kept having new ideas, and adding pages and even this afternoon, when I had decided enough was more than enough, I added yet another page. It is now about 94 pages in size.

In addition to the added pages there is a new top navigation, it was much smaller at the beginning. I have recycled some ideas I first used in a university social network site and therefore there is a forum, a poll and a guestbook.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who discovers a problem with this site, or who has criticisms or general comments. If anything is wrong please let me know.

I put my first site online about four years or so ago. I think I have improved since then.

Happy birthday Denese!

23 February to 28 February, 2010

Two people who shall be nameless (definitely not Carmel and Nicole) spent an exhausting Wednesday evening in the office blowing up 100 balloons which were used to fill Ros' office to celebrate her birthday the next day. And the same night Ros kept working as it was our first Link Nurse education night for 2010.

Work on my new site

I have now spent two months (outside work) working on my new website. Recoding all the photo galleries is a fascinating task and one which I will never undertake again. I also keep adding new pages which entails further research and leads me into many fascinating byways.

Goodbye Doctor Who

Long Live Doctor Who!

Most movies I see don't touch me emotionally, but at the end of almost every Doctor Who episode during the past couple of years, I find tears running down my face. And so last night it was goodbye to the tenth Doctor and we had a glimpse of the new one.

Garden Roundup

Mackay has had day after day after day of rain for what seems like forever. We humans are a bit fed up with it but Mackay looks wonderful and my garden is thriving. The photograph above was taken today in my secret garden.

Below, these lillies die right away and then, with rain, they spring back to life. I like the shadows from the stairs.

Back to my secret garden for the next few photographs.

13 February to 14 February, 2010

And now we begin the Year of the Tiger.

We have just completed the Year of the Ox and we are now entering the Year of the Tiger. Next year will be the Year of the Rabbit. There are twelve animal signs which follow in a particular order.

The tiger, apart from being very beautiful, is a sign of bravery and is a sign which keeps away fire, thieves and ghosts. The five elements, metal, water, wood, fire and earth are also associated with the various years and therefore we are entering into the year of the metal tiger. From what I have read 2010 may be a year in which there is not much peace, just like all the years which have gone past. Unfortunately the Tiger has a difficult relationship with the Monkey, of whom I am one. Unpleasant events are suggested for me which I will take with a very large grain of salt.

A big gold star for Fishpond dot com

Good service is something I am lucky to have at all the places I shop in South Mackay and it is always a pleasure to find equally good service in other places, particularly on the internet.

Having been introduced to Fishpond.com I bought a book and was deeply disappointed when I received the wrong article. I sent an e-mail and before I had even repackaged the wrong book to send back I had an e-mail from Fishpond telling me my replacement was on the way. They are an online store and sell books, music, movies, toys, and games. And the replacement arrived, sent priority mail.

A big gold star for J.O.Mechanical

This gold star is well overdue as J.O. mobile mechanic came to my place some months ago now. I was initially stunned when the young man not only turned up on the day he said he would, but that he was early! As I spend my life being early for appointments I greeted him with joy. He was also very clear about what needed to be done and what was possibly wrong with the vehicle.

Although this particular vehicle was in a great deal of trouble and was beyond repair I was very happy with the way the whole event was handled and also with the invoice which went into great detail. J.O. mobile mechanic also does maintenance and log book services so if you live in Mackay he may be of great help to you. His mobile number is 0424 281 964.

5 February to 12 February, 2010

Bruce Lavarack and Danielle are pictured above on their way to the halfway celebration. The evening was for medical students who have now reached the halfway mark in their studies. Only three years to go!

New site

During the past few months I have mentioned my new site and I have been working on it ever since. I become enmired very easily in research and have frequently been led down strange pathways. But gradually the new pages are piling up and one day I will put them online. The banner will remain the same but the top navigation is quite different and there will be approximately 40 new pages.

Visitors to my office

Pictured above are some of the frogs in my office and nearby are two recent visitors, Carmel and Liz, making our work days brighter. I also ended up with a tiara but as I am the one holding the camera there are no photographs to embarass me in years to come.
