Most Understandable Pie Chart

Speaks for itself really... data and statistics I can understand! And I do like pies...

catching up on photos

This is just a couple of shots from a 'Live at the House' gig I went to the other day -a whole bunch of bands playing for free (but you had to pickup your tickets before) to celebrate 150 of parliament house. Not a bad gig - especially liked Lior and Bomba.

Backdated

This is a picture of the view from my window - at night with rain on the window! So not really very clear... but I like all the lights going kinda blurry. Sometimes I even sat down to do some proper study at my desk... except occasionally I was distracted by the view, or taking photos of the view, or arty photos of rain, or reflections or shadows... or myself in the window! Doesn't take much to distract me really!
Clearly, we studied hard. Meanwhile, Jack and Mark were competing to see who's paper aeroplane went the furthest!! (I say Mark but could be biased!)

technology to baffle

I tried to put some pictures on the blog last night using picasa... it did everything and said loading, and now they're not there. Maybe they'll turn up at some point but I thought that if it needed time, overnight would have done the trick. I guess I'll have to do them again... but not now because I need to get ready for work. I also used to use a program called 'hello' to put pictures on - but I think that it worked with blogger, and maybe not blogger beta. OH well... more later. But possibly, maybe, Toshi (my laptop) is fixed - it had little tantrums while charging (or not charging) lately - would stop charging and there was nothing you could do until it went flat and died. But Dad took it somewhere and got it fixed for me - hurrah!

And now for something different

Exams are over. Good feeling. First year over. Strange feeling.

Its late again and I should go to sleep. Went out for dinner tonight with Dad - to Maldini's which was delicious. Bit of an end of exams celebration!! Had a lovely lamb meal, and ended up sharing a tiramisu to finish. Still feeling full but it was delicious. Good way to end the semester - and nice to chat with Dad as well. Despite staying the last 2 nights with him I'd barely crossed paths!

For next few weeks at least, I'm working at the chemist, as well as some bits of sailing coaching, babysitting, cleaning and then fitting in socialising, reading, sleeping, and just being as well. And I'm writing a sermon for this week - 'reception of the king'. Tricky one - I don't want it to be boring and irrelevant. Was thinking about comparing the reactions of people to Jesus in his own time to reactions now - gets a bit wierd though reading stuff on internet about how people can prove the Jesus wasn't who he might be. But I guess thats where faith comes in - because it can't be proved entirely and no-one says otherwise, but there is reason to believe... Anyway it still needs more thought.

Today was Hamish's birthday. I haven't finished the 13 piece paper Hearse Playset for him... but I didnt' see him today either. I'll do some tomorrow before starting work at 11 and see how I go. Just need some dead flies to go in the miniature coffins (he asked for flies although may have intended fishing flies but ah well)
