Cool Stuff

I have no plans to buy a digial reader but thought that if I did, I so would buy one of these.

A Moleskine Kindle cover.




Airports are trying to out-do each other so much these days. Such a massive bonus for a lover of travel like myself.

Look at what Changi is up to, a massive 4 Storey slide inside the airport terminal.

Who wouldn't want to go down it?

Rudd's Demise

It's a sad and traumatic day for me and other Ruddites but its nothing compared to what poor KRudd himself is going through. He was damned if he did and damned if he didnt.

2 months, 2 weeks or even 2 days ago, if you told me Rudd would no longer be the PM I would have said you are dreaming!

Rudd is in the middle of making some tough choices but the ideas and plans for the country are for the better of everyone.

In his first term there were so so many successes and achievements. Yes, there were some poorly managed issues but nothing to be ousted and globally humiliated.

He left with resounding words of his committment to the Australian people, support to the new Gillard government and was even present in the last sitting of Parliament today. Shedding a tear but standing tall with his accomplishments, not showing malice or poo pooing those that brought him down, there stood a man who has conviction, passion and good intentions.  Our most popular PM ever.

Here's hoping you stay in federal politics and continue to make a difference to those in your electorate.

(I feel like moving Griffith.)

US Oils Spill

It's day 55 and the oil is still leaking. The Gulf in Mexico is getting more and more polluted with the slick.

These oil and petroleum companies invest millions into developing technology into exploration and extracting the fruits of the earth. 

You'd think from all this knowledge and know-how they have, they would know how to stop the leak.

Cake Vs Liquid

There is something special about buying a new soap.  I love it.
The scent, the texture, the smell still in the box or packet.  

My family and I give soap to each other like we are giving each other a little bar of gold.

I find that there is something unsatisfying about using a body wash. Yes it smells good still but putting it on a sponge or puff really isn't that great.



To me, there is nothing better than winding down your day with a fresh cake of soap and lathering it up while in the shower.  All thoes lovely smells and suds!

 Everywhere I go I come across really great smelling soaps and beuatiful packaging.
