20 for 2020: week 15
Week 15: Week of 6 April My 20 for 2020 list. I’ve lost count of the number of weeks since we have been in the world of covid-19, where no one is supposed to go out unless they are going to work or school, getting essential supplies or medical...
20 for 2020: week 10
Week of 2 March My 20 for 2020 list. On Monday, I started my alcohol-free month (thing 5). I did it in March last year as part of 19 for 2019 and decided to repeat it this year. A few weeks ago I came across The Alcohol Experiment by...
19 for 2019: week 19 update
Week of 4 May I don’t have a lot to update this week. I went to work, had a training course and went to a wedding (yay!). I had a nice day walking around Launceston on Friday (more than 33,000 steps for the record) before I was struck down...
19 for 2019: week 14 update
Week of 1 April After my massive week of achievements in week 13, I wasn’t anywhere near as productive in week 14 with my 19 for 2019 list. In fact, I can count the things I progressed on one hand. One finger, even. Status for week 14 Things completed...

Today was the Derwent Valley Autumn Festival, which is one of the biggest events held in the Valley each year. The weather forecast wasn’t sensational, but there wasn’t any rain or wind forecast, so we had everything crossed that it would be a nice day. It was a chilly...
Tassievore Eat Local Challenge Week 1 – Food Forager
I’ve been busy walking this week, so I haven’t given the Tassievore Eat Local Challenge my full attention. I wrote a post about getting started last week, and have been doing what I can for Week 1’s challenge, which has been to “seek out Tasmanian food and drinks ....

Monday 12 May was the start of the second week of school. All the good work I’d done getting back into a walking routine before the holidays started has gone out the window and I’m back to doing nothing. I just can’t bring myself to set the alarm for...
12 of 12 April 2014
12 April 2014 was a Saturday. It’s the weekend before Easter and leading up to the last three days of school for the term. I’m tired. After the Walk in her Shoes challenge ended, I couldn’t manage to get out of bed in the mornings to go for a...
Tassievore Eat Local Challange – Week 4: Tassievore Dinner Party
Once I’d finished my epic 12 km walk on Saturday, it was time to start preparing my feast for the Tassievore Eat Local Challenge. This was Week 4’s mini-challenge: to have a dinner party where all the food is from Tasmania. I’ll put my confessions up front. The butter...
sunday selections: hunting the fagus
Today’s post is a Sunday Selections post for River, which I haven’t participated in for ages. One thing that wasn’t on my 100 things to do in 2013 list but should have been because it’s something I’d wanted to do for ages, and that is to go and see...
