Hello blogger people, well another month has passed and as usual I have had nothing to say. So, thankfully I still have the 12 of 12 project where I can share a little part of my world with you. I don't know what I'll do when this project ends next month. I guess I'll have to think of something before January comes along.Anyway, lets get to it shall we. As usual I have to give credit for the 12

Hello peoples, yes it's 12 of 12 time of the month and for me it's the closest thing to a post you're going to get at the moment. So, all I can say is enjoy the pictures. I just walked around the city once again this month not unlike past months. I hope that this months pictures are varied enough to pass as totally different pictures from past 12 of 12 pictures. As always I have to tip my hat to

Update: I just realised that the post previous to this is about the same topic. Not only am I not posting to this blog but now even my none posting explanation posts are becoming repetitive. Man I need to figure this out because I'm about to remove my self from my bookmarks. I don't even want to follow my self.

...what to write that is. I seem to be in a void as of late. I'm not writing anything here. I'm not writing anything on Facebook. I missed this months 12 of 12. I'm not even that much interested in the Internet except to check my email and I don't even get that many emails. Of course that could be because I don't send that many emails to anyone else. I wish I knew what my problem is. I am not

Hello all 12 of 12ers and to any one else that possibly reads this blog. As you can tell by the title of this post it's that time again for me to dazzle you, or at least amuse you, with 12 photos taken on this 12th day of the month. Now this concept was the brain child of this man. So we thank him for his ingenuity and creativity. Once agin this month I take you around me little part of the world

Well, well, I've finally made it back to 12 of 12. I have to tell you that not only was it raing all day which made it extremely difficult to take my pictures but then for some reason there was a computer malfunction and I don't know if it was between the camera and the computer or if it was a problem with iPhoto but I finally got these pictures up the long way around and I didn't even get to put

....rather you're having fun or not. As some of you might know, we have recently, for the past 3 months, have been relatively homeless as we wait for our current tenants to move out of our place in the city. Due to this displacement it has been very difficult for me to keeps tabs on this blog. Hell who am I kidding, I had trouble keeping tabs with the blog even when I did have a place to plug in

As usual I have neglected this blog so much that even I thought it was no longer functioning. Then I realised it was I that was no longer functioning or for that matter writing.

Well, it's a little bit of both, as we are on the path to moving back into our apartment in the city. By city I mean Sydney. We have found ourselves quasi homeless after living in an apartment under my husband's parent's house. It wasn't it an optimum situation but it provided us a space, breathing room and most of all time to help make decisions about where and how much we wanted to spend on a

Hello dear bloggers and fellow 12 of 12r's, as you all know by now I did a guess what this is theme for my first 2011 12 of 12 photo blog post. Now, many of you took a stab at guessing what the partial photo was related to a larger whole. I will say that some of the photos were probably a bit difficult to decipher and others you made good guesses. Anyway I promised I would post the larger

So take your best shot and at the same time I hope you like the photos as they are I need to thank the man who started 12 of 12 and you can visit his site here.

Well, I failed miserably! I had one last chance to join in with 12 of 12 and I blew it. I will have to say I did try but I only got six good photos yesterday and the rest of the day was too hot for me to lug a camera around. we also got all tied up in doing errands that the day just slipped through my fingers. So I will just have to try and make up some new project for the new year. I won't

Lookey, lookey, I've found my typing fingers. I once again realised I missed 12 of 12 this month. I'm a bad man and have no excuse. I really need to make a concentrated effort to do December's 12 of 12 as it will be the last. I have decided that for the new year I will try my hardest to continue with some sort of monthly photo blog post in the same vein as 12 of 12. I will start the year off in

Well, hello all of you 12 of 12'ers and to anyone else that wants to come along for the ride that is this month's 12 of 12 photo log. I have to say I wasn't very inspired this month so I'm not totally thrilled with all of this months pictures. Now, I'm not saying that to garner opposing remarks/comments telling me I'm wrong and that all of my photos are fantastic. Firstly, I would know you were

...I just can't believe that the the year is almost over. I mean it seems like it was only yesterday that we moved back up to Sydney and that was in January. I just don't understand it. Maybe in some small way as we get older we become more aware of time where as when we were younger time was quite irrelevant. Anyway, it really doesn't much matter because like it or not faster or slower time will

I am not worthy of your attention. I should be punished. My allowance should be taken away for a month and I should be grounded at the same time. As usual I wasn't thinking and now I find myself in trouble. I can't be trusted. I can say I'm sorry and in this case mean I am a sorry individual. The correct thing to say is mea culpa and I apologise. There is no excuse for my mistake other than being

12 of 12 time is here and as always I am very excited but there is a big ol' spoon of trepidation I must take that tempers my excitement. What I mean is I'm always worried there won't find the right things to photograph. Of course I was extra worried this month that my pictures were going to struggle because I was going to have to use the camera on my IPhone as 12 of 12 fell on Monday, a work day

I want so very much to keep up with this blog because I put so much effort into it since I started it back in 2004. It just seems that I get sidetracked and then the next thing I know it's been like seven days or more since my last post. Sometimes I have a lot of things to talk about and then other times it's like pulling teeth trying to even get a paragraph out of my head. I know that I can

...but I'm still here. I think we have finally settled into or new digs here in Sydney. It's kind of nice to be back. There are a lot of advantages to living in a big city. At the same time there are drawbacks. I am trying to acclimate to the weather. I loathe hot weather when it includes high humidity. We of course have had nothing nut hot days with humidity in the 85% + range. I told myself if

...or at least moving back to Sydney for me/us that is. Yes, the move is still on. The days are counting down with only fifteen more days before we fly out of here and on to the beginning of new adventures albeit on familiar territory. We have a huge to do list that we have to get through before the movers arrive on the 21st and begin to pack. I'm happy to say that we have made considerable

...in between posts that is. Life has been extremely hectic in my part of the world. We of course like everyone else are in the middle of the holiday season. Although, we aren't really in the celebrating kind of mind set. Hubby is still healing from his mum's passing. Money is tight with all of the moving costs etc. I'm usually flat this time of year as it is the anniversary of my late partners

Today is a day that plays close to my mind and heart. I have now lived for 23 years with HIV and I am grateful for everyone of those years. I can remember back in 1986 when I first found out I was positive and the doctor told me I had six months to live. There were no medications available to help fight this disease at that time and I believed that my life would be over before I could explore and

As the title implies things around my world are just plain hectic as all get out. We are into full swing with our moving plans. The moving people will be here on Friday to give us a quote for the move. We have set a date and we will officially be moving back to the mainland the last weekend in January which will make the house ready for rent as of 1 February. We still have to get the rental

Well, I've given you all a few days to have a look at the picture I posted to see if you can tell me what is wrong with the photo. It's great that several of you tried to figure it out. So to those of you that did, here are my responses and the answer.

I took this picture the other day and realised something a bit odd with this picture. So I'm posting it here and asking the question of you of "What is wrong with this picture?". I'll give everyone (all 2-3 of you) a day or two to have a guess and in the next post I will reveal what is actually wrong with this picture. You will also notice that this is my lame attempt at making a viable post.

Well, as promised here are my photos for this months 12 of 12. Now for those of you that know, this is a project that I take part of each month which allows me to have a bit of fun with my camera and also fills in a large hole when I don't post as often as I should. Everyone will also know that the 12 of 12 project is not my initiative but rather that of a very nice man named Chad and you can

So, wait for it patiently as you always do and a new 12 of 12 will be here before you know it. Anything after that is totally unpredictable. Until then stay safe and enjoy...

Hello one and all, I seem to be only writing about one post every seven days, but I suppose that's better than none at all. So what's been happening since my last post? Well, we continue to heal which is a major priority. Hubby is also trying to finish his last paper and once it is submitted and when he receives his final assessment/grade, he will have finished his Masters degree in Education. He

So, here I am back at the blog. I have been really bad at posting over the past few weeks and even months. I know that everyone says that it's my blog and I only have to post when and what I want and if I want. I take that into consideration but I still feel guilty when I haven't posted for a while. So anyway, this will be my lame attempt at a new post. Lest see what I can come up with in some

Well, it's been a week since I last checked in and our life is still in the air. Hubby came home for a visit but it was cut short as he had to return to Sydney to continue to take care of his mum. On the Sydney front things are not well and it has gone from day by day to moment to moment. I feel so helpless down here but unfortunately at the moment I have to keep the home fires burning.

I know I said I would be taking a small break from my blog and I still am. But as missed last months 12 of 12, I wanted to make up for it this month. Besides, I love doing the 12 of 12 project. (You can find out more about the project from it's creator here) This project gives me an excuse to use my camera more. Anyway, I had to take pictures from around the house again this month as hubby is

Hello one and all. I'm going to have to take a small break from posting as there is a lot going on right now in our life. My hubbies mum is very unwell and it looks like we are getting to the point that this chapter in our life is coming to an end. So, as I said due to this situation I need to focus my attention and energy on family. I will return to posting after all of this returns to normal or

...since my last post that is. As usual I have no excuse for not posting, but as I've been told by blogger friends and others. "It's you blog and you can blog if you want to or not". Apparently I've gone for the "or not".There's not much going on around here at the moment. You know I posted pictures of the daffodils recently, and there are still more blooming, well I thought that Spring was on

Well after that gloomy post I thought I would share some of the other flowers that are currently blooming in our garden. Every year I know that Spring is on it's way when or camellia bush and our rhododendron start to bloom. The camellia bush has been here for over 30+ years and maybe even 50+. The rhododendron is also very old. You can see in the pictures how tall thecamellia bush is as it is as

I was originally only supposed to be in Sydney for 4 days in order to see the neurologist for a check up on the back surgery I had last July. I am having some on going symptoms associated with the surgery. I had a new MRI of my entire spine and in addition I had a Nerve Conduction Test (NCT) run on my hands because I

We're in Sydney right now, so I can see the specialist. Well ,I've seen him and I will have to wait until Thursday to let you know what is going on. I was going to go home on Monday but now I have to stay until Thursday morning. I will be having some additional test done over those extra days. To say I am not amused is an under statement.

Amongst all the doom and gloom in my life, I'm glad to say that there is a little bit of sunshine breaking through. I took these photos of the first spring bulbs starting to bloom. Since our winter is basically mild, compared to those in the Northern Hemisphere, a lot of things that go to sleep in the winter wake up a bit earlier. So as you can see in the pictures, the rose bush is still asleep,

I saw this test on religion over at this witty, bright and interesting bloggers blog. I thought I would give it a go and the following are my results.

That's what I need to keep telling my self and at the same time remind my self not to break or drop anything on the way. As you know things are a bit fragile around here and we are just waiting for something to crack wide open. In some ways it would be best if certain things did just up and fall apart because then at least we could focus on taking care of the fall out. As it is all we can do is

Hubby just left to fly up and see hi mum. They found out yesterday that the cancer she originally had in her bowel has now spread to her lungs after originally spreading to her liver. As to be expected hubby is very upset. The thing that has been the hardest is the waiting for the inevitable.

I had to take all of the pictures around our house, because my better half was sleeping after doing night duty and I don't drive so I was a bit stranded. I did my best and I hope you like this months photos.

I just found out that one of my favourite characters in a British comedy has passed away. I love British comedies like "Fawlty Towers", "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Are you Being Served?" to name a few. Well, I'm sad to hear that the ever colourful Mollie Sugden (aka Mrs. Slocombe) from "Are You Being Served" has passed a way. No one can talk about her pussy like Mrs. Slocombe did and I always

Well, it seems that everyone is playing on either Facebook and/or Twitter and now that includes me. My niece contacted me a week or so ago wanting to share some family pictures with me but she had them on Facebook and I wasn't a member of Facebook. So to see the pictures, I had to join. I actually re-joined as I canceled my previous account as I was not getting a whole lot out of the program.

On July 1 2009 new laws will come into place here in Australia that will recognise same-sex partners for various legal reasons. Now this isn't a same-sex marriage thing for as in on the states the Prime Minister here also believes marriage is to remain between a man and a women. However, as I said for legal reason some 100 plus laws and rules will be amended to address same-sex couples. In many

It's that time of the year agin. What time of the year is it you might ask? Well, it's that time of the year that we celebrate all that is cold, snowy and penguin at the the Antarctic Midwinter FestivalThe next nine days is filled with all sorts of fun and interesting things. There is a photo contest, a film festival amongst other things and of course the penguins (some real and some not so real)

This is the 12 of 12 post which is the brainchild of this man. As per the rules I've taken 12 pictures on the 12th day of the month and posted them here for your enjoyment. So here's my 12 of 12 for June. I had to rush and take some of the pictures at the end of the day. I was trying to finish an application for yet another job and also trying to get things together for going to Sydney in the

...that is the question. Well at least the one currently on my mind. My niece recently (yesterday) sent me an invitation to see some pictures that she posted to her Facebook account. I being the ever curious uncle went over to have a sticky beak (Australian for being nosey) and see the pictures but when I got there I found out I needed to join Facebook in order to see the pictures.

I wrote a post that asked readers to submit questions that they would like answers to in reference to my life. I called it "What's up Wednesday". The first Wednesday I got three question from two readers. The next week I got nothing. Then shortly after I wrote a post in which I threw a little tannty (aka in Australian for tantrum) and then I get five comments all telling me not to go and to not

...that is to What's up Wednesday. It seems that no one gives a damn about my life or to be fair no one really cares about who I am, what I've done or where I'm headed. So that little experiment is done and over. I must realise that seeing that the first installment of WUW only garnered me 3 question from a total of two people, than maybe I really only have two people that read this blog not

As June 1st marks the official start of the three month winter season I thought I would ad a bit of winter to the blog. As some of you may know and for those of you that don't. The picture in the banner is of Mt. Wellington here in Hobart and I took the picture from our front verandah (porch). Anyway, nothing else much going on here still looking for work and all that rot.

Well, for lack of anything else to say since my life currently is boring as bat shit and as interesting as watching paint peel I am opting for a blog thing/meme/quiz. The question is "Are you rain or snow?" and the answer is: You Are Snow You are peaceful and calm. You are able to enjoy each moment.You have a pure, gentle spirit.

Well here it is the very first "What's up Wednesday". As you may or may not know, last Wednesday I asked you "my loyal readers" to come up with questions that you would like me to answer and that every Wednesday following I would willingly answer those questions. I said no question was to personal and if it were well then I just would not answer it. Anyway, this Wednesday we have three questions

Or better still where are the questions. In my last post I asked you my loyal readers to ask me a question that you wanted answered and so far I've only received one question. Now I know that there are more of you out there that want to have a peek into my life. I mean isn't that one if not the only reason you read my blog. I surely know it's not for the witty dialog.

It's Wednesday here in the land down under and I want to try something new. As you read in yesterday's post I listed 10 things you did not know about me. Well now it will be your turn to ask. Starting today, every Wednesday I will answer any and all questions you want to ask about me. So, every Wednesday just leave a question in the comments section and then the following Wednesday I'll answer

Okay I'm going to list this post under 10 things you never knew about me and I never thought I would tell you. So here goes:1. I sleep the way I was born, in the fetal position. Okay, I meant in the nude but sometimes I do end up in the fetal position depending on the day I had.2. I hate oysters but I have sucked the heads of crawfish. (read into that what you want)3.

I figured that in between job searches I might as well have some fun. So, as you can see we have new layout and a new header. The new banner photo of course reflects the fact that we are into the autumn months here in the land down under. We just flipped back out of Daylight Savings Time so it is darker at the house by 5-5:30 but at least the morning is a bit brighter by 6-6:30.The layout isn't

I'm really flat lately. I'm sure it has something to do with not being able to find work. I've filled out over 60 applications. I have to do ten a fortnight so the government will pay me while I look. I think looking for work is more exhausting than actually working. I've only had two actual interviews from those 60 applications and I don't even want to tell you how many "thanks but no thanks"

So, I was sitting in the lounge room the other night, Sunday night to be exact, and I suddenly hurried this frantic sound. It sounding like feet with nails trying to gain tracking on the tiled floor. I thought to myself, "Great it's going to be a a long night" because the cat has started her nightly spastic routine and the night was actually just getting started. I know she gets this way ever so

I had my interview on Thursday. I think it went well. You know how you just get a gut feeling about something. I talked with the lady doing the interview for 45 minutes. They say that the longer the interview the better the chances. I said all the right things. At one point she said that she thought I would be perfect for their store. I didn't persue that as I didn't want to look overly wanton.

Ten years ago, I met my husband and I am ever so grateful for whatever fates were involved in our meeting because when I met my husband, I was definitely not in the market for a new partner. However, when I met him something started that I

You have to of course actually look for the jobs. So you search the newspaper, the Internet, you check out signs in retail storefronts (yes I'm that desperate) I will say there is nothing wrong with retail. I worked in that field for ten years and
