1 The working week...

...included two walks along Kopanga Road, as I got back into the groove after a two week break from school and a lingering cold.


2 Reading: The Guardian Weekly Vol 215 No. 3



Paradoxically, the return to work was accompanied by a slowing down in reading time and a return to The Guardian Weekly.


3 Listening: UFO -Mechanix




Try Let It Rain


4 Viewing: Alone: World Championship (season 13)




5 Anticipating: The Odyssey - Christopher Nolan




Overtime: Steve Jobs

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Senses working overtime #573

This week: items from my phone camera

Something a bit different for my Jewels post this week - a selection of snaps from my phone that were taken over the last seven days. 


1 Sunrise, shine down a little love on the world today:


Sunrise at Maple Grove


2 Reading: The Guardian Weekly





Some of the best journalism and expression of opinion you can find.


3 Family zoom


Top L to R: Jade, Jacky and me in NZ; Drew and Sam Kalicki in America,
Bottom L to R: Adam in 'Stralia and Keegan in China.


Happens each Sunday. It's the only way to gather the fandamly together these days.


4 Saturday walk from Maple Grove to Kintail and back




5 Listening: A Stones-a-thon 


Sticky Fingers turned up real loud.


Overtime: Arty shot


Autumn shadows on the Magpie Walk

1 Last week of term

2 Listening: The Pineapple Thief - Variations on a Dream



3 Watching: Would I Lie To You 




These are reruns via TV on Demand and I laugh as hard as I did when I first saw them. Lee Mack is a comedy genius. 


4 Reading: The Guardian Weekly




I've started buying these again because of their brilliant reporting using a big picture lens on the Iran War.


5 Listening: WTWMC - Weather with you




This playlist is now complete (it has 1 extra song because member #3 added a bonus selection to the bonus round).  


Overtime: Aung San Suu Kyi

You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.
