Tregeagle wallpaper

3 months 2 weeks ago

If you are one of those old people, like me, who still use a 'computer' I have made a picture (to use as desktop wallpaper) of my handsome son flying (yes, he is a witch) a rubber inner tube over the Blue Mountains nr Katoomba, right in front of the famous Three Sisters.

Summer Reading Club and other news.

3 months 2 weeks ago

Emrys took part in the Summer Reading Club performance last week. I wasn't entirely clear on what was happening but it was assuredly hilarious and all the kids and library staff were fantastic.

My Nursing textbook collection is stating to scare me a little.

Sawtell has been in the news for rain, floods and all that fashionable doomsday guff. If you are into weather NASA has kindly made a page just for Hurricane Oswald. We have been getting texts, phone calls and emails asking if we have been washed away etc. Not yet.

I did have a nice bludgey day playing with Lego and building a Raspberry Pi XBMC Media Centre yesterday. Bit nerdy. I also took Evan out for a burger and we traipsed around in the rain checking out the brown frothy storm waves off the Sawtell south headland. Nothing quite like coastlines, rain and wind.

Dictator for a week

3 months 4 weeks ago

Cheri and Jay got back from their week in Melbourne yesterday. I had a pretty good week with the boys. They both helped out 'round the house and I got to bunk off for fire call-outs, morning runs and even a trip to the markets with John Lee on Thursday.

Jason John had the excellent idea of taking the boys to Sawtell pool with water proof torches for some night swimming. It was past my bedtime so I was bit sleepy. The kids had a great time though.

Heat broke

4 months 5 days ago

Last night thunderclaps and a deluge of rain vanquished the heat. Our poor old beloved, stinky dog, Scampy, was terrified and pushed her way into our room shaking and panting.

We woke up before dawn and I dropped C&J off at the Coffs airport. They are still there. The plane they were supposed to leave on has been rendered incapable of flight due to a lightning strike from last nights storm. Scampy was right to be scared.

A four hour delay, which could mean another plane is being flown up from Sydney. They are going to be late for the Australian Open

Madie and her little boy Sam came for a brief visit last week. We went to the beach one hot windy afternoon. I had to sit on the surfboard to stop it hurtling away in the blasting wind. I took a few snaps, it was very windy.

Last Day

We're off to Sawtell headland tonight to watch the Coffs fireworks from afar. Emrys has decided it is now our tradition. Attached are a few pics I took over the Christmas break.

Drupal Profile

5 months 7 hours ago

I just changed my Drupal profile from:

Community Sites was my business name for many years whilst I developed various websites using either my own CMS or Drupal. I now work for a regional University and have little time for outside projects. UPDATE: Xmas 2010 - I quit my job at the Uni and decided to dive into Drupal. Now I'm having lots more fun :) One year on... Diving into Drupal for me has been like Luke and Leia following Hans Solo into the waste disposal shoot. Only R2D2's bluescreened so I am trying to figure out how to switch of the garbage compactor without any outside help. Oddly enough I am enjoying myself, although I must admit I think I'm still in the garbage compactor.

to this:

I am a student nurse who maintains a few drupal websites with the help of the excellent Almatech.

Sawtell Citrus Grove

5 months 1 day ago

A few weeks ago Peter and Erika organised a bunch of us Sawtellians to plant out some Citrus trees. We returned last weekend to spread some mulch. I am impressed that none of the trees have been pulled up or died yet. Erika and some of the kids painted a nice sign, I really should chop some bamboo so that we can put it up somewhere...

A few weeks ago we took the boys and fur-children down to the Toormi shopping mall for the traditional Santa snap. I added some pizzazz.
