I tell you , **it knows**

Now that I have my MP3 player with me all the time, I can play the “how does my IPod know?” game, even though it's not an IPod.
So today, as they wheeled Podna away to take out his insides, and I turned to my music for comfort, the random track was “I can't be with [...]

The Jimi Page

Of all the blogs I read I think I enjoy The Jimi Page the most. Don't get me wrong, the blogs I've found are informative, thought-provoking, amusing, all the things I'd hope for. But Jimi's always makes me feel better about the world. So I've added it as a link.

Another cycle over

Woke up to an even lower temperature today, but hoping against hope I tested again. Needn’t have bothered
Small amount of bleeding tonight so that’s it. At least I can focus on Podna’s surgery tomorrow. We have to be at the hospital by 7.15am!

Am I or aren't I?

We’ve just squeaked past midnight so I am officially on the 15th day past ovulation, I haven’t got this far for a long time.
I had the faintest of faint positives on Thursday, which was heart-warming, but the clearest of negatives on Friday, which, er, wasn’t. And a temp dive on Saturday, so I didn’t [...]

Marketing gone mad

I have been meaning to take this photo for a while. Most days I walk past this sign to Lambton Square, a mall on Lambton Quay. One of my FF buddies has recently relocated to Australia from the US and she commented in her own blog about how we tend to tuck little [...]

Security cards

Because of my various contracts I have three access cards for different buildings in the Wellington CBD.
Such were my appointments yesterday that I got to use all three cards in one day

David Parker

For those that haven't been following NZ news, our Attorney-General (and Minister of several portfolios as is the NZ way) has been caught falsifying annual company returns, and has therefore resigned, first as A-G and now the rest of his portfolios as well. There is a note of regret about this on all sides [...]

Retinopathy exam

I had my diabetes eye health test yesterday, it being two years since my last (and first) one. I passed with flying colours.
However one thing I want to note here, I have no recollection of this happening last time but the eyedrops he put in my eyes to make the pupil dilate left me with [...]

Now I’ve seen everything…

Winter time

Our clocks went back on Saturday night/Sunday morning so we are officially in winter time. Today is the Autumn Equinox and the sun leaves our hemisphere for the north. The sky will change in a day or two to a greeny pale blue and no longer be the glorious blue-purple of the summer months. Maybe [...]

Labour's overspend (finally?)

David Farrar makes an interesting point today about who decided not to prosecute Labour or National, and about who might be applying for the job of Police Commissioner. Careers Advice Class 101 – How Not to Annoy your Future Employer – Step 1 – Don't prosecute them.

This month's babymaking

I find myself once again in what we call the 2ww – two-week wait. Once ovulation has happened, there’s not a lot you can do to change the outcome of this month’s babymaking efforts, so you fill your time obsessing about absolutely every possible indicator and convincing yourself you’ve done it this time.
Apart from [...]

5 minutes' amusement :)

Don't ask me how I got here, but here is the funniest music video I have seen in a very long time. And it's unintentional David Hasselhoff singing “I'm Hooked on a Feeling” and jigging about in various costumes and situations, except he's in a studio when everyone else is really [...]

Labour's overspend

Well, it appears that the police have done what we all thought they would do – they've fudged it.
I don't think we can expect the police to take this on alone. They work for the government. The House has not made enough of a deal about this to make the social and political [...]
