Well, now I have finished my 23 Things, hopefully I will be able to "connect" with people and share my (alleged) knowledge!
You can check out my Facebook page too - I will be waiting there to hear from all of you!!!
Bye for now,

Easier than mashing potato for dinner!
Here is a little pic that I have "mashed up". There are sooo many cool features that you can do with pictures. You can even save them as a hi-res image to your "brisi-stick" or USB! I like the "jewels" feature too. I think I may even attempt to make my own Christmas Cards this year.... hmmm that is if I get a spare few seconds to myself. Anyway, I really like the mashup idea and that you can apply it to pretty much anything, imagine how "cool" libraries would look to teenagers if we used this kind of thing in our brochures..... and so much easier to do than the "old" way of spending HOURS and HOURS in Adobe Photoshop (which is what I used to do before working in Libraries....)Monday, October 6, 2008
Library Mapping in London
Check out this cool link for a library map in London.
The themes are:
1. From Roman urbs to Stuart City
2. London life in the 18th century
3. Sweet and salutary air: London's surrounding villages
4. Out of sight: the East End
5. The age of improvement
6. Victorian London: social problems and solutions
7. Modern London: staying on top
So you can view all of these libraries together or just each theme at a time. It then links you to opening hours yada yada yada.... I do admit even before this I was a lover of GOOGLE!

My Farm Stay
These are some of the pictures from my weekend (4 days) that I know you are all dying to see!!!!
We had heaps of fun!
Lots of chickens, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, ducks, dogs and (very sadly....) spiders. This spider was living in our cabin and so I didn't sleep too much for fear he might bite me! Dean loved feeding the horses! Walt loved just about everything - except the getting up early part! and the view was amazing too. The farm is on 380 beautiful Maleny acres with views of peace and quiet in every direction - except ours that is!
How to get there.... (this a link to google maps for The Animal Farm)
