first 'cockie' in the kitchen

Saw my first 'cockie' this morning. Now I know I'm really back in Sydney. It is lying dying from chemical spray on the kitchen floor. I know it's not PC but when it's me or them they gotta go!

Feet haven't touched the ground since I returned. Not sure what I've been doing but the time has whizzed by. Finished the Darwin-Broome video this week in time for the aqua christmas party next week.

Started working on the US road trip video. The video camera cleaning tape got stuck in Nashville and I couldn't tape any more. No worries, I thought, I'll just tape on the still camera. Good idea but when I play it back in Pinnacle it jumps, therefore is unusable. I can use some of the audio, eg my Jason CD playing in the car although on reflection, playing the CD will be better, but from Nashville on it will be still pictures. Ah well I'll just have to download good music, which my new Pinnacle film-making software can do from I-tunes, yeah!!! It was difficult in the previous version of Studio.

View from Greenwich house

Had Christmas lunch yesterday with my writing friends in Greenwich, at a house in a beautiful location. Pity it was pouring with rain. We are off over the Christmas period.

Had a fun day at Braidwood quilt fair last Saturday, took lots of pics especially for my sister Maxine who is a quilter. One of the best bits was stopping at Roses Cafe in Goulbourn for breakfast on the way, and to pick up one of their delicious pies on the way back. It is a yummy place.





In the evening saw Menopause the Musical at Revesby Workers Club. The Barramundi was dried out to the point of not being able to pull all the flesh off the bones. As to the show, it was very funny in places but I felt as though a couple of characters overplayed it.

Seeing John Williamson at the local RSL club this weekend. I'm playing it safe and eating at my place first.
