Less is more, sometimes

Serious and simple



playful & creative

Strong text and images do it for me.
Clear messages. Visual clutter can annoy me, at times.

Nice butt naughty. Personal local favorite

My clever, creative son...Cam came up with this original concept. What do you think? I

There were Huts smaller than these in Brooklyn and Wiltona (Kororoit Creek Road) housed several migrant families in the 50's & 60's. Believe it or not there aren't many photographs. Can you guess which staff members parents lived in one like these?

forty years is a longtime in Council


This photo is of Councillor Lee and his family (I assume) from the former Altona Shire Council. It is the very first photo scanned onto the new 'S' drive. Rosie and I are working our way through heaps of photo's to add to Picturevictoria, this is one of the classics. FYI Councillor Lee is the one with the mo. P.S. I used to have an outfit the same as the little girls...no freckles tho.

Activity 4 RSS feeds and Bloglines with a surprise ending

I am having so much fun with technology. I have finally attached feeds to my blog. It has taken some persistence. Despite being bogged down with confirmation of my Bloglines account (I am still waiting for the confirmation email), I can see any updates to the HBL 2.0 webolution as they are published and the little star in the left hand top corner actually means something ...amazing.

I do feel energised and motivated by all of this. Apart from the obvious knowledge I have gained through the activities I have found some great gadgets, joined you tube, (watch out for the video of my wedding dance on my blog) and the I love Peckham fanclub, finally seen my daughters wedding photo's on facebook, discovered my son (who denounces blogs) has had one for eighteen months, blown Mr Waterbaby away with technical knowledge and had heaps of fun. Insight...into my family, friends, webolutionaries and of course me.

Persistence does pay off....It must be love, love love


The quality of the video does not reflect the quality of love. I know it is out of context with this post but it took so long to upload, I'm not messing with it now.

A trip to Eumundi may cause an excessive sense of wellbeing.

Awaken your senses, enliven your spirit & let your hair down with care...Oh and wear your sunnies.

Mysticmanda (waterbabys alter ego) says its good for your Karma to buy yummy gifts for work friends stuck in Melbourne.

Something for everyone, hopefully not all at once.

"The Eumundi Markets is more than just a market with magical experiences every way you turn. You will be enchanted with the sounds of our wonderful musicians and swoon to the delights of the diverse cuisine that is available. The art and craft stalls are unique in Australia and our fresh produce is second to none. So why not come along and enjoy the experience of Australia's largest market."
