The Horror's

One of my daily torments is the "Territorian apostrophe". Even the Vietnamese know how to use one properly!

These are but a few examples, however there is evidence of this egregious misdemeanour everywhere. The last one, which is a bit difficult to make out, is the most inexplicable of the lot: "chipolata's" follows directly after "hash browns" and "eggs".

Of course, I blame the local school system.

Sunset on the way to French class

For all its faults, Darwin sunsets are unsurpassed in my experience. In fact the sky is a worthy photographic subject at almost any time of day.

The campus of Charles Darwin Uni had been cleverly designed to incorporate a lot of the special features of the environs. This shot is the centrepiece: a vast, vibrant lawn stretching into the sunset, framed by delibetately geometric structures.

Welcome to the Cyber Scrapbook

Tonight I have been swotting for an exam that is coming up this Friday. The subject is Developmental Psychology which is quite interesting in its coverage of infants and children and the changes they go through. Alas, the content about adults is very tedious. The text book reads like a Boy Scout approved primer on marriage, children and the autumn years. The main failing of this and other psychology courses is that it is overly concerned with what is normal. Every day I count myself lucky that all the people in my family are extraordinary!

One thing I did pick up from tonight's reading session is that statistically speaking, and on average, "normal" grandparents often deem their grandchildren remiss in view of their lax correspondence.

This blog is for pictures and stories that I want to share with my grandparents. Soon I will also fix it up so that my net savvy grannies are able to post thing on here as well. I hope you enjoy it:

With love:
