<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next week the school holidays start. I have now been trying to blog for three months, and find it hard as I work away from home. In the two weeks I want to learn how to do the following:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">1. be able to copy people's badges (or what ever they are called) successfully.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">2. put in a whole lot of photos in an array or grid ( I can't find a sample to use as everyone I've seen is copyrighted)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">3. to be able to follow other blogs that are not in Blogger.com</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">4. any other cool stuff.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">5. Understand "linkies"</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">6. Understand "memes" ( I know I can join in, but why the name?)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">7. Find a book or site that explains it really easily - like "Blogging for the Dumber than Dummies."</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">8. How to search for new blog pages instead of just clicking next.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">9. How to put frames around photos that I insert into m pages.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Its frustrating when I go to the help pages and have no idea what they are talking about.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">I would really apprectiate help links or instructions from any of you expert bloggers. Please help so I can get my act together in the holidays.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Thanks</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">This week I have been on camp with 40 9 to 13 year olds. I have had the best time. The kids at my school and in my class are so lovely and its such a joy to be teaching well mannered, respectful, wonderful kids. I am so grateful that in my latter years of teaching I have earned the reward to have such fun in my career. Guess what I guess I should link this to the <a href="http://maxabellaloves.blogspot.com/search/label/Grateful">I'm Grateful meme</a> too at Maxiebella's blog</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, I will quit rambling. On the last night we had a disco and I played some up to the minute tunes and watching these children enjoy the music, dance and sing like a choir was fantastic. Please enjoy these two songs. I just can't explain the pleasure that I get from watching kids enjoy life and be happy (oh gosh now I have to thrown in an oldie too *S*).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It time to link up with Thea's page and have a Sunday Session and Natasha's page for Sunday Song. Usually I take inspiration from what Thea chooses, but unfortunately none came.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">1984-85 - I was in the Northern Territory in the outback, and we only had ABC television and radio. Being in a new job, and in a new town and having just met this great man (soon to become a fiance and later husband), listening to the radio or watching tv was not high on my list of priorities. Idid have a friend in Adelaide who went to the Howard Jones concert and she was really excited. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">So I will take do a 6 degrees of separation and think along the concert line. I went to many when I lived in Adelaide.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">One of the great ones was Fleetwood Mac.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/a8arvEzHsA8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was also the time of great sound tracks and this next song was a blast for all of us in the outback. It got everyone onto the dance floor. Ready to get your feet tapping? It could almost be a newbie, as there is a remake of this movie coming out soon. Its......wait for it.......</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Footloose</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/BUsNpfXwEy0?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now its time to think of a newbie. I have certainly been exposed to some new music this week. This tune is catchy, dancie, and the kids love it. I think its great for Sunday morning house work.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy your Sunday. I am off to an Eisteddfod about 2 hours away to see kids perform.</span><br />

This is treasure hunting with the gps, finding all these little caches around the local area. There are people doing this world wide and we have only just got on the band wagon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">My three Scotties love the day - being with us, lots of walks, picnics, the cold weather. We ended up at Lake Hindmarsh - a great place and a definate place to go camping.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you look at Thea's choice today its about siblings. This has made me think about my little brother and the music we had in common - bands of sibblings. I have an oldie for you Dave, (remembering your version of the song makes me laugh over and over) and an oldie for me, and as for a newbie, well....have to do some research.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I know the Bee Gees is not everyones taste, but they were siblings and some of the best times I had with my brother was with their music blasting in the background (loudly) and parents screaming turn it down (but not loud enough). *S*</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's Sunday Session has sent me into great memories of my little brother, who has been gone 13 years. Hopefully my song choices are not to morbid, but we really did like them and the first modern day one...well I think it reflected the mood he left me in. To end here is a more up beat, happy song reminding me how cold it is tonight - 1C and I have forgotten to turn the heater on.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Madonna was the first choice for the oldie, so I had a think about Madonna, and apart from Like a Virgin, what else do I remember and like. It was the movie Desperately Seeking Susan. When this movie came out I was living in the Northern Territory: nearest movie theatre 10 hours drive there and back, requiring an over night stay. Instead we did a 24 hour drive to Adelaide, saw the movie and stayed a few weeks for a little holiday. Here's the song I liked from that movie</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ifh863JX7w4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

First is by the Church. Not a band for everyone, and I took a special interest the band as the drummer Richard Ploog, was an Adelaide boy and our paths crossed occassionaly in year 11 or 12. I added the second clip as you can see Richard quite well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Not because its POETS day, but because its the best day of the week. It's my day. Everything seems to sort itself out on a Friday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For example Gremlins have been in my computer and getting into Blogger (as well as anything that needed a password) was impossible. But today, finally I have been allowed access to my dashboard. Champagne please!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Some would say that it was fate as I should be writing school reports, not trying to write a blog entry, or reading other people's blogs, and I so love reading everyone else's blogs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">The second thing that happened on this great Friday was that my lost wedding ring turned up. :) I found it in my classroom in the bottom of my computer bag. My class was as excited as I was - sort of wrecked the lesson, but the joy of having my wedding ring found was aaaaaaaaaamazing. So now I have 2 rings and I will wear them together.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6MAr3581ekTx2UUMGcWpkpfMmwiJ08wKO3JgkJ_jhYvvpnE2ECjMJtFAEHqPRT9iTRlly8FQhEmMgWqpOdbTUxwRZwXG23xafcw4RNtQOKA7GYdtnxNej7y-cICNwvCKXGTRUihYUGGD/s1600/DSC_0046.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6MAr3581ekTx2UUMGcWpkpfMmwiJ08wKO3JgkJ_jhYvvpnE2ECjMJtFAEHqPRT9iTRlly8FQhEmMgWqpOdbTUxwRZwXG23xafcw4RNtQOKA7GYdtnxNej7y-cICNwvCKXGTRUihYUGGD/s320/DSC_0046.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Report writing has started, and today (Friday) I have written 8. Not a bad effort - not my best record, but I am happy. I always have too much to say and cutting back the information is hard.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Friday night - home with my husband. A lovely dinner. A cold night. No work - catch up with whatever - tv, a good book, blogs, music, and of course pets. My dogs love Friday too - its bone day. They just know I will come home with the huge marrow bones. They love me for it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">What I really, really love on Friday is that at 3.15 the kids go home, and most of the staff go home and I am on my own. Its a great time to reflect upon my week - my successes and <strike><span style="font-size: xx-small;">failures </span></strike>and areas to work on, kids successes, catching up on my school diary, and planning for next week. Searching and researching for interesting things to do. The cleaners have yet to arrive so there is still a <strike><span style="font-size: xx-small;">scent</span></strike> whiff of runners, erasers (mind you I still call them rubbers), and bits of paper and pencil shavings. I love this time..reflecting on how far they have all come, how I have changed over the years, thinking about previous kids. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Every Friday in my classroom I reaffirm that I love teaching and want to continue.</span><br />
<br />

Even though its Tuesday, everyday seems like Manic Monday. My holidays finished not yesterday but 4 weeks ago. The time has flown and I just can't keep up. Why does my load seem to get bigger and heavier and others not? Why as I get older does it seem so much harder?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">This is me!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was a hectic week - Easter last weekend then Anzac Day followed up by going back to work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work was the highlight of my holidays, going back that is. My husband had to work everyday - 14 days straight and I absolutely hated that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't mind the idea of a few days to myself, but 14 days sitting in my own company? Well I wore myself out: with boredom. I couldn't movtivate myself to do any thing except to try and blog or play on youtube. I realise this sounds weird and many would relish in days to themselves, but this has happened every holiday since we moved to this town. He has to work every school holiday, every day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My man is a lovely, caring man who works with people who have disabilities - emotional, physical and intellectual. Its just when the holidays come the parents and families of his clients want a break from their disabled family member. What I can't understand is that they have the weekends in term time away from their disabled family member as well. My man finds wonderful things to do with his clients. He takes them on barbecues, drives, treasure hunts, fishing, out for meals, out to play pool, bowling, walking my dogs, They all have a ball. When they see my husband in places like the supermarket they make a bee line for him, but I have to duck off as its 'client business' and I don't want to know their ins and outs, I want to respect their privacy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's whats narking me. He spends so much time entertaining his clients, that when he gets home he wants to rest and not have a barbecue with me, come on a drive with me, go fishing or go out for meal with me because he has already done it today or this week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here's my new plan. Next set of holidays I will go away. I will go to Darwin and catch up with old mates. Yep the husband thinks its a great idea and he is helping me plan the trip away</span>.<br />

Mr 17 year old wants to come down for his next school holidays. GREAT!!! and, he wants to bring a "friend".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow - this new issue has certainly stopped me being woe is me I'm lonely....now its Oh gosh where will they sleep - together or in separate rooms. Can I cope with that idea. What if Grandma and Grandpa come over. What will they think?? How do other families deal with teenagers over the age of consent sleeping together under your roof?</span><br />

This is more of a test as to whether I can put buttons and links onto my page. If the badge didn't work, try clicking <a href="http://mumrara.blogspot.com/2011/04/mumra-playlists-week-10.html">here</a><br />
<br />
There are a few songs that I know off by heart, but I'm not sure I have the courage to put one of them up. I have just watched the clips on you tube and thought wow...what mullets, what tunes...could I subject anyone to this??<br />
<br />
Still contemplating my navel....<br />
<br />
Now I remember a song that I can sing along to totally and am not embarrassed to put up. Here it is...the way to finish of a Saturday night at the disco.<br />

I love Led Zeppelin, and I remember deciding where to baby sit depended upon the record collection. If you had this album I babysat for free (lucky for you Uncle Johnny) *S*<br />

Afer looking at Thea's clips I decided upon two oldies. After 13 years at a very religious school, finding two hymns about Easter was not hard. Finding them on the 'net was another matter.<br />
<br />
My first comes from another religious musical Godspell. Its very old musical, but I quite like to watch it when its on telly, late at night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/wSIs1MHdFQY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
My second clip is from the same era. I believe its an English hymn, set to a Scottish tune so I had to include it. It is one of my all time favourites - Morning Has Broken, by Cat Stevens. I realise he changed his name, but all my albums have him listed as Cat, not Yusuf.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5sSEkZ86ts?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
As for modern well I decided not to look, but was tempted to put up a version of Little Bunny Foo Foo!!<br />
<br />
Have a lovely Easter and enjoy the long, long weekend.<br />
<br />
Ciao<br />

I would like to put in a post script. Tomorrow is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, so I have included a third oldie that hits me right in the heart, and always makes me weep, thinking of the Diggers, all the soldiers and the refugees.<br />

He didn't understand. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was walking though the streets naked. He said don't worry about it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tried not to worry. I tried to smile. I was naked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tried to cover my nakedness up. It didn't work. Everyone noticed. I was naked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had lost my wedding ring.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was devesating to me. I felt so exposed. I felt out of the 'club'. I tried to tell myself its just a piece of jewellery. He didn't mind as he never wore a wedding ring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In twenty five years I never took it off, except for this one night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got stung by a mossie next to my wedding ring. I was eating a delicious, drippy orange. The juice got into the sting. My finger swelled. I took of my ring. It got mixed up in the peel. It got thrown out. I didn't realise. I went to check the bin. He had emptied it. I checked the wheely bin. It was Monday. The wheely was empty. My ring, my symbol of 25 years had gone. For good.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">Suddenly I realised I would need something for news, day1 term 2 of school. (It's hard to believe that these things need to be planned.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">We decided to go to the beach and thrown in a bit of shopping. We left at 7.30am and got to the beach at 10.30am. Only three hours to get to the beach with one stop for a latte (skim milk, no sugar).</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am still trying to print off a magazine we made last year. Orders were supposed to be in by a certain date so then I could print. Guess what, parents didn't read the newsletter and came in on the last day of school wanting a magazine.</span><br />

My first librarian was a woman named Christobel Mattingly. She was the person who introduced me to great picture books when I was five years of age. These books played a major role influencing me in certain areas that shall become known for the rest of my life. She went on to be a successful author in her own right and I have read many of her books to children in my class.</span></div><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first and most favourite picture book was Angus and the Ducks written by Majorie Flack. It was not a new book when I was five (1967), being first published in 1930. I have loved that little dog ever since. I had set in my mind that that dog was going to be mine. In 2004 I finally found my first little Scottish terrier, Haggis. He took 5 years of solid searching to find but the desire for him had been brewing for over 35 years. Suddenly we aquired Flora, and have one of their progeny Dougal. My Scotty dogs are a very important part of my life bringing me continual happiness and joy by watching their antics.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other picture books that I loved was The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck by Beatrix Potter and The Story of Ping again by Majorie Flack. My love of ducks had begun. I collected statues, named cats Jemima and probably would have named a child that too. It was only when we moved to a tiny mining town of Warrego in the NT that I finally could have a pet duck. Not a puddle duck, but a beautiful black duckling that we named Brutus. He also got himself a harem of girls too. Brutus was the best drake. He was always by my side in the garden, enjoyed being hand fed, and just loved to chat to us. He moved with us all around the NT and won numerous awards at agricultural shows culminating in winning the prestigous Waterfowl of the Year at the Royal Darwin Show. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have copies of all of these books and use them in my teaching every year. It really helps show the power of the pen and how a good story can be shared over and over again, even if its set in a different era.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When surfing around the net<em> </em>I found a copy of Angus and the Ducks on the Chinese equivalent of youtube. If you have the time, have a look. I love the way its been set to the era the story was written in with vintage cars, clothing, and style.</span><br />

It made me curious. It made me think. The task this week - design a top 5 laminated guy list. Sounds easy until you try to make it five. Everyone else who has contributed has picked gorgeous men and I agree with all the choices that I have seen, so I am trying to add my list with gorgeous ones that have not had a mention.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><strong><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">My first love began at the age of 12 and I have loved his hair ever since. I cried when he cut it off. Its Garth Porter the keyboards player from the Aussie band Sherbet. I couldn't find a great still so why not include the film clip. He is probably not a choice I would make now, but the memories and feelings of a prepubescent teenage girl is hard to forget.</span></strong><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My second choice is another teenage love David Essex.

I thought I would give it a go. It may be too impractical for someone who has only begun to blog, but as they say nothing ventured; nothing gained.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The idea is an oldie and then a newie. Finding an oldie is easy... but which oldie to choose as I have so many. I have decided on Life in a Northern Town by the Dream Academy. This video clip made me crave for trips back to the UK</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;">Now for something modern. Well thats hard as I don't listen to the radio or watch Rage any more. My only hope for modern music is getting ideas from the kids I teach. They told me about this group called the Black Eyed Peas. I like their tunes. This is the one that is catchy and sounds fairly modern to me. Hey it was released in 2009 so amazingly modern for me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;">Being an educator, I also like this version.

Oh What a Night<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last night, there was a performance of FLOCK in Horsham, located in the Wimmera area of Victoria. This was a massive puppet show put on for the Art Is... festival. This year the theme was Art Is ... Under Our Sky.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04xScwPuK7_oxvXtdnwFStREM55YlzQ2M2donMGnztz56IYzPMZ5CkCkSoincU01x5gjKWqe5AR11hC1Bref0BhXiDPoMaW6KzAAlG37cu0WtK47-yVOQADlDTn3vM1_d2IiTTsMA5uhp/s1600/art+is.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh04xScwPuK7_oxvXtdnwFStREM55YlzQ2M2donMGnztz56IYzPMZ5CkCkSoincU01x5gjKWqe5AR11hC1Bref0BhXiDPoMaW6KzAAlG37cu0WtK47-yVOQADlDTn3vM1_d2IiTTsMA5uhp/s320/art+is.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I was one of the puppeteers, along with many of my students. One of the first tasks was to create a puppet: to be specific a long billed corella. This was the beginning of Strewth and Bruce.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Strewth and Bruce are the creations that Neil and I made. Long-billed corellas they are not. For some reason making a long bill did not work out, so ours became short billed corellas with the most flittery, fluttery feathers. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiD17Hy51GBsei_Y44uKWJCK8UoetNX-eQ_8C8VnxecaVkFhSi0sEnEOaU87XvMSdfOlVxPDB53mq0OPLT4PfNKIxeVFiktI6Ga1dX1mSQ3XjKJ0P1aYLMOenmsh9T2A9Ow_8R7lM6nC_g/s1600/IMG_09812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiD17Hy51GBsei_Y44uKWJCK8UoetNX-eQ_8C8VnxecaVkFhSi0sEnEOaU87XvMSdfOlVxPDB53mq0OPLT4PfNKIxeVFiktI6Ga1dX1mSQ3XjKJ0P1aYLMOenmsh9T2A9Ow_8R7lM6nC_g/s320/IMG_09812.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We didn't start out with names, they came as we progressed through their creation. Bruce has a bung wing - he couldn't fly straight if he tried. As for Struwth - full name Struwth it's Ruth, she is a mischevious corella who likes to hide from everyone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Last week she disappeared from rehearsals. Noone knew where she had gone. It turned out she chose the wrong bus and went to McKenzie Creek. Struwth did not miss us at all. At least she came back for the dress rehearsal!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The night of the dress rehearsal was amazing. Huge flocks of hand made corella puppets flying around the sound shell next to the Wimmera River. Even the real corellas were interested and watched the proceedings.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCPYfk-buT3TjpannFwS2ee_syvo9uaBNdO2EWBDfHYaBdMt2brLFXLlhDckTJgOWXkMujooKeAwfcQDh-mj2FWGnrGbriBa4g0a7dOQOoshEtyeeZpQiG2zb8N1QoFCQFYMzd7bDrVEN/s1600/corellas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKCPYfk-buT3TjpannFwS2ee_syvo9uaBNdO2EWBDfHYaBdMt2brLFXLlhDckTJgOWXkMujooKeAwfcQDh-mj2FWGnrGbriBa4g0a7dOQOoshEtyeeZpQiG2zb8N1QoFCQFYMzd7bDrVEN/s320/corellas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were dancers, singers, and the most amazing performing troupe called Strange Fruit. This performing troupe working on the top of poles swaying back and forth passing puppets, dancing, and interacting with the the puppeteers on the ground. I tell you,I couldn't have been on top of those poles if you paid me - I just have to watch them for too long and I have the worst case of motion sickness - but - of what I could manage they were superb.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was a once in a life time event and I am so glad I took part. Of the children I spoke to they all were so happy and excited that they were in the event.</span><br />
<br />

We have just come out of a 14 year drought. Admittedly, I have only been here for a few years, but can feel for the people in the area who have experienced the drought from start to finish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">One of the wonderful things I love is driving to work. I love to have a great book to listen to, a skim milk latte (really, really hot - so it lasts the distance) and fantastic scenery.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWFy_AxtQ0NUB37U4XVzJ4qk0yklFPA_161mxJBi6sBZA26X_K2a0R7Olhw9wZMm6RWnfE1jDf5SVUGo_fSQ9lXefBkrUxqDE7p06Ylfegf0ynB0L7iHDzZ7Gtk37SOZujbdyOxz1EsZBl/s1600/IMG_5398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWFy_AxtQ0NUB37U4XVzJ4qk0yklFPA_161mxJBi6sBZA26X_K2a0R7Olhw9wZMm6RWnfE1jDf5SVUGo_fSQ9lXefBkrUxqDE7p06Ylfegf0ynB0L7iHDzZ7Gtk37SOZujbdyOxz1EsZBl/s320/IMG_5398.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana;">I drive on the Western Highway, which links Victoria to South Australia. It is a very flat cropping area. Cropping is farming. The farmers grow all sorts of crops - wheat, barley, lentils and canola (also known as rapeseed).</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wonderful thing about canola is that the fields change colour from late winter into spring. Yellow is such as beautiful warming colour. When I am driving along, drinking my latte, listen to a great author, and seeing these views I am just so happy to be where I am and off to another great day at work. Yes I love my job!! I adore my job!! I have the best job!!</span>Scotty Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060860232097541027noreply@blogger.com2
