Sunday Selections #4

This week I have had itchy writing fingers coupled with limited time at my desk, so scattered sentences have been tumbling around in my dreams, of course when I wake up all the words have gone into hiding and I haven’t had the time to hunt them down.

It has been a tumultuous week that started with driving my daughter Veronica to an early morning a radio interview and at ten pm that same night driving my son David to his friend who had left a suicide note as his facebook status and wouldn’t answer his phone. (He is alive)

Today isn’t the day to be writing about youth suicide, Invasion day and racism, the Mona museum, grief and autism and Hobart’s amazing clown doctors but the words are all there and they will make me write them out sooner rather than later.

As always I am constantly looking at the world around me in terms of light and shade and often the lines and shadows are more interesting to me than the actual objects themselves.

I took these photos inside the newly opened Mona Museum.

I take a lot of photos and most of them are just sitting around in folders on my desktop not doing anything. I thought that a dedicated post once a week would be a good way to share some of these photos that  otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone other than me.

I am also remarkably absent minded and I put photos into folders and think  that I will publish them later on and then then I never do.

So I thought I would start a photo meme that anyone can join in and play as well. The rules are so simple as to be virtually non existent.

Just add your name and URL to the Mr Linky. Publish your photos on your blog using the “Sunday Selection” title and link back here to me.

Easy Peasy.

How is it Sunday again? I am sure it was only Tuesday a minute ago, time just slips through my fingers these days.

Well seeing that it is Sunday already it must be time for my photo meme, come and join in. It is fun and you will get to meet some very nice bloggers from around the world. Here is the blurb.

What A Whirlwind of a Week.

by frogpondsrock on January 22, 2011

in Fun

Today is the first day that I have managed to stop and catch my breath. This week has been a whirlwind of activity ranging from taking my daughter to local radio interviews to attending high energy rock concerts, being awed by Korean opera singers who shout at waterfalls and registering my son for song writing workshops with icons of the Aussie music scene.

What am I talking about?

MONA FOMA

A week long celebration of Music and Art culminating in the official opening of the MONA Museum last night.

Wow! What a week in Hobart it has been and I am completely knackered.

My photos would not do this extraordinary event justice and so if you are interested in some Amazing photos of the amazing week that was MONAFOMA go over here to Kate Burtons blog and check out her shots.

Welcome to the second edition of Sunday Selections.

I take a lot of photos and most of them are just sitting around in folders on my desktop not doing anything. I thought that a dedicated post once a week would be a good way to share some of these photos that  otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone other than me.

Much much much more awesome.

It is official.

I am a superstar.

My plans to take over the world via the internet are on track.

I have officially hit the big time.

My star is rising and I will definitely need minions sooner rather than later.

How do I know? I hear you ask.

Someone has taken the time and trouble to set up a fake blog about me.

A completely fake blog, using my name, my blog’s name, my image and a post written by a friend of mine Xbox 4 Nappyrash.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It is hilarious.

I needed cheering up and this fake blog about me is just the trick.

Oh and for the authors of the fake blog, this image by @mackiemarsellos epitomises what it means to be Australian

*updated 15 Jan. Now there are two fake blogs. That must mean I am twice as awesome as I first thought I was. Well done you two.
