Forgive my Ignorance...

Funny how when you type 'Poatina' into the Blogger search engine you suddenly discover a whole bunch of things. For instance, that could be how you came across this very entry. For other instance, there comes up a whole new batch of people whose blogs I should be linking. So here they are:
Guy Lowe - very entertaining even if you don't know him (or wish to..)
Clairence - she published a whole book of this stuff.
and Loz - a sweety.

Enjoy.

Of Fieldmice and Weblogs

A fieldmouse said to me yesterday 'Gee, you haven't blogged for a while...' And he was right.

What's happened since we last left this tale? Well I'm now a fully fledged Media Training Course Administrator, Co-ordinator, and Trainer, so that's been taking up some of my time. Other than that I've been watching my box-set of the Goodies. That about sums it up.

Those who have been following the contnuing saga of 'Where is My Television?" will be pleased to know that it is safe and sound at home. Though not the same one that went in for repairs four months ago. After waiting that long for the manufacturers to send the right parts to the repair shop, and another week for the retailers to organise a replacement, it is now in my house entertaining the inhabitants. When I rang the reatilers for the fourth time I happened to speak to someone new - the brilliant, wonderful Dallas - who set it up for me to collect in literally five minutes. Good man, Dallas.

If you look to the right of your computer screen you will see I have new friends, or old friends with new blogs. Michael and Bec are new to the blogging world, so please make them feel welcome.

That's all, the fieldmouse said, before scurrying off to his home.

Panic Attack

I had a panic yesterday. I lost my engagement ring! Aaaargh! The worst part was admitting it to people so they could help me look. I spent six hours worrying and panicking and thinking that I was the worst fiancee in the whole world!

But then I found it. My housemate found it. Thankyou housemate! So happy ending.

Lately I've been really getting into tea. And after a rather heated discussion with a very cool British housemate about why I should only ever buy fair trade food, I went up to our local gift shop (which conviently sells some free trade stuff) and bought some free trade tea. It is soooo nice! Better than Lipton. Which is still good, but I recommmend Tradewinds if you want something both delicious AND socially moral.

But apart from tales of rings and tea, I have my first ever Media Training workshop this Sunday afternoon. By that I mean that I'm now co-ordinator of a six month Media Training course, covering both radio and video. I'm not teaching this particular session, but I am running the introductory part along with my sidekick Daniel. Think of me as all of this comes together, it's a bit of a daunting thing for a twenty year old student and her comic relief cousin to take on. But let it be known that comic relief cousin is great support and taking on the task of writing a whole video stream for this course.

Peace.
