  Comment on when i get home to you by When do we get the toaster

   » ‎ Comments for the twinkle in my eye

  Well done you! It is indeed fabulous and amazing. The most amazing in my mind is that we really are just living our lives like everyone else and now people get to see that! Lots!

  I just listened to the interview: you have such a good voice for radio! I’m glad they covered the actual story, too…

  Wow! You are very brave for putting it out there: especially in the Herald-Sun, like, not the Age.

  I admit I’ve been reading the comments and they have just made me so sad: please DON’T read them (although I snuck one in in your defense)

  And that photo is awesome! Have you got a copy for yourselves? That’s a mantelpiece job if ever i saw one!

  Comment on Hiking Day Two by Fiona

  Surprised you had to go into school today at the end of all that – you must be stonkered! Looks like a beautiful part of the world to have spent 3 days in.

  Flowery things can be quite scary! I don’t blame her. Orla got a satin dress from her grandparents in Ireland for Christmas, apparently she tried it on once (while i was at work) and then subsequently hid it so well that i still can’t find it!

  This all sounds good. Having said that, I am going to wash the dishes AND listen to some podcasts. I feel I can be me doing both those things.

   » ‎ Comments for the twinkle in my eye

  Hey, welcome back. The Twinkle sounds like a joy right now. I love the descriptions of all her pretend play. It’s funny all the phobias they get at this age. We were reading a book yesterday, and Teo said “I don’t like ____. They’re scary” on several pages with different animals.

  I’m glad she’s doing well at the new baby factory!

  I didn’t know you’d hiked the Otways, Dad. What advantage to you think lace-up boots offer over lace-up runners?

  You need lace-up boots for hiking in the Otways.

  Even I thought that was a disproportionate reaction to one dodgy key.

  My boots are lace-ups, not the soft sided ones. I’ll pack some band-aids for me and share them with the students if I suddenly find myself feeling all caring.

  we also used to get the kids to pack lots of band-aids for blisters. you can cut the pad bit off and just use the sticky ends direct over blisters as a ’second skin’. surprisingly, this works incredibly well. works even better if you get kids to check for ‘hot-spots’ early on in the walk and band-aid them before they get too bad.

  Oops, don’t know what I did here but my comment appears to have no relevance to the above post!

  When I was teaching a million years ago they didn’t let kids bring Blundstones for hiking due to the elastic sides (there’s a small possibility you can roll an ankle.) I’ve never heard of anyone doing this, though. But runners are lighter and should do the job.

  I have never done camping like this before. I am much more used to loading up the station wagon and taking every single thing that I might want. I didn’t think that 20kg sounded like a lot, but it felt like a lot on my back when I tried in on today.

  Reading this is making me wistful. Can’t wait to get my pack on again soon…! Have a great walk.

  I am too cheap to buy them regularly when I can reuse poker chips.

  LOL. Um, no. I don’t think associating poker chips with grammatical activities will encourage a love of gambling. I just don’t!

  Comment on A Little Bit Country by jojo

   » ‎ Comments for Mark O'Meara: the blog

  Funnily enough I do generally listen to albums from cover to cover, rather than shuffling. I have playlists for neglected songs, but even those tend to play in album order…

  Perhaps, even though I have two, I missed the point of the shuffle after all

  Someone just raves about this film on one of the gabfests. Perhaps we should try to get to the cinema for this one.

  I saw Crazy Heart tonight and really liked it. It starts out in a bowling alley, which is a nice nod to Big Lebowski, and it’s more than a little bit country.

  Comment on Somebody Told Me, Commitment is Freedom by mark

   » ‎ Comments for Mark O'Meara: the blog

  In line with this idea, last night I listened to Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier’s Summertown while I did the dishes. Today as I drive to work – inspired by your comment, Emma – I am planning to listen to the one Clare Bowditch album that I have, The Moon Looked On.
