The Inaugural Run 4 The Brain

Posted by on Nov 9, 2010 in Doing Now | 0 comments Last year I went to a friend’s wedding; a celebration of life, of happiness, of love and devotion. Within months, my friend’s new husband was diagnosed with a tumour on the brain and given months to live. He underwent surgery and is of course, still having chemotherapy. Earlier this year, his wife decided to do something to say thank you to those who do such good work and she decided to...

Two days they will never forget

Posted by on Nov 6, 2010 in Doing Now | 0 comments I’ve just spent the last two days helping to officiate at a very unusual inter-school sports carnival. This wasn’t your typical inter-school athletics carnival, where the object is to find out which children are the fastest, strongest, most skilled etc. This was an immersive educational experience for children in Class 5 who are studying ancient Greece. Over the term, the kids have been...

Posted by on Oct 20, 2010 in Doing Now | 0 comments When I set up this blog in January 2007, it was a bit of an experiment. I didn’t really know what I would write about.

Ingenuity at a wedding – congratulations

Posted by on May 14, 2010 in Doing Now | 0 comments One of the things that I guess all brides fear is a wedding day catastrophe, such as; the groom not turning up, the wedding car breaking down, losing the ring, a family squabble etc. Last weekend we went to a wedding where everything went fairly smoothly until just before dinner. There was a blackout at the reception venue. Without warning, the reception venue lost all power. Now I don’t...
