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

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

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.
