My wife loves taking photos as I drive. She's good at it too. This was her view riding the north Wales to south west England A roads on a holiday visit to blighty.

3 Best retreaded education news story of the week
Finland, oh Finland! You lead the way and the rest of us eventually get there. I love this concept of no subjects and I may just go to Finland to join in the fun! I may have missed this when it was originally published a year ago but this 'news' is still encouraging.

P.S.

I close my eyes and see
a seagull in the desert,
high, against unbearably blue sky.

There is hope in the past.

I am writing to you
all the time, I am writing

with both hands,
day and night.

Franz Wright (2001)

5 Blogging is hard man!
Enjoyed this piece from fellow blogger - Victoria Corriere

An excerpt:

[Blogging]’s not one job, it’s many jobs all masquerading as one.

I’m the idea person, the researcher, and the interviewer. I’m the writer and the editor.

I’m the art director, the designer, the web developer, the SEO person, and the social media manager.

I’m the analytics manager and the affiliate manager and the marketing manager.

Nice, and she's spot on!

This week's change quote -

Senses working overtime #32

1 Ringo Starr

The Beatles (White Album) #0000001

The great man is selling off a load of tat, I mean antiques and memorabilia. Some thoughts - where the hell did he store all this stuff? I bet there's more! Why did he keep it? Did he like all this stuff? How much stuff do you need? And so on...

Here's the news story but if you're like me and nosey - scan through the whole catalogue. It's an eye opener!

Wouldn't mind that first copy of The Beatles - expected to go for around $60,000!

2 Star Wars

These fan posters are pretty doggone awesome.

3 That did NOT just happen!
Watch this. It is freakish.



This kid solved a Rubik's Cube puzzle in under 5 seconds. Yep. Five. SECONDS.

4 Christmas 1991
I dug out this old photo to celebrate Jade's birthday today - she's four weeks old in the photo.

Funny looking back - I have a really strong sense of that time - new baby, living in Nelson NZ and how things looked, smelled etc. Senses were most definitely working overtime!
