Toilet Tales

So when I hopped off the plane here in Australia, I was so so excited about checking out if it really was true. Does the toilet drain in an opposite way to Canada? I had to see it for myself. Unfortunately upon inspection, I found that the toilets I've seen just flush straight down not in circular motion, so I couldn't tell...sinks too - now to check the tub?

One thing I DID find out...is that there are 2 buttons on a toilet to push for flushing. Apparently one is for a half-flush (a wee-wee) the other, a full-flush (uh-hem???) . Man the things I've learned here already!

Hey Ange,

I would tell you that the more distinguished societies have two buttons on their toilet but..... We're aussies and drought is a huge problem for us so really we are just being practical. Have you noticed in australia we don't have much water in our toilet either. I remember the first time I went to the toilet in NA I thought the person before me must of blocked the loo until I tried the other stalls and they had just as much.

Enjoy exploring our country.

Love heaps
Kim

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
