I think it hit 37c and it’s still only Spring. Summer’s going to be a scorcher! This getaway was on my mind today, but still another 4 months away. I’m thinking I really need to be planning another sometime between now and then.

How I did it: Went to the Amazon Kindle page and ordered a Kindle 2 International Version. I already had an Amazon account and was a semi-frequent printed book purchaser, so the purchasing part was easy. The waiting part was a little harder, ordering over the Christmas period and living outside a major city meant mine took over a week to arrive. Other people reported 4 days delivery to Australia. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I set myself the task to write every night before bed and kept my journal on the bedside table where I couldn't miss it. Some nights were a little brief, but others were quite lengthy and detailed. It was a wonderful way to do a download of the day before sleep. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I kept my notebook nearby at all times and whenever inspiration hit, whatever it was to do with, I'd jot it down. I would also at least once a week spend some time working to fill an entire page with generated ideas, usually starting with a trigger word or idea. Read how I did it…

Just some musings on this week. Nothing to do with anything important, just something that’s been occupying my thoughts a little.
I keep thinking about the saying ‘when someone shows you who they are, believe them’. While it’s probably meant more for when people show you a negative aspect of themselves, I think it can also be applied to positives.
That said, it was a negative thing I was shown this week. Something that I know I’ve noticed before, but rationalised off or refused to acknowledge. So thinking deep thoughts on what this might mean and what my next step needs to be (if a next step is needed).
Aside from that little niggle, life is good :-)
We did this the other week and it was a huge hit with the little man. He was so good in the theatre, sat through the whole movie – admittedly halfway through he ended up on my lap, but that was nice too :)
We did the whole popcorn and soft drink thing, not really a trip to the movies without them.
Madagascar 3 was bright and colourful and funny, so he of course loved it. Can’t wait for his next movie now!
