Fiddling Around

June 26, 2008

I must admitĀ  I love ‘playing’ as I call it. I see a new template theme on wordpress that is pretty, I download and install it then I start to play with it. I have changed it yet again this morning but I have the sizing all wrong with the background paper, it will need a bit more fiddling with. I have used Dani Mogstad background paper and Emily Powers flowers.

I don’t know if you live in a big city. We do although not that big compare to others around the world. Our city has grown extremely fast because of its beautiful climate and the resources boom that is taking place in our state. The infrastructure has not kept pace, our traffic and roads refect that. There was one accident yesterday on the Gateway bridge and instead of my drive taking an hour it took two. I don’t really mind if I have something to occupy me, like podcasts, a book besides on the passenger seat or my drawing tools. But it was dark so I could not do the last two and the radio was boring; so it was a very long trip home. I would really love to work closer to home.

That photo looks as if it was taken from the cliffs at Kangaroo Point. I love the Brisbane skyline. I hear you on the traffic. There are some days that I have to commute with work. It can take me 45 minutes with a good run but if the Ipswich Motorway is banked up it can take over and hour. ugh
How do you read in the car whilst you’re driving. I couldn’t do that. I’d be afraid that the traffic had moved and I’d be getting honked at. lol

A fantastic skyline! Traffic is the bane of our Age, isn’t it? And from your post I realize it’s not just in the States, It’s good that you can take it in stride with your podcasts and drawing - at least for some of the year. It’s funny to me to think that you’re in the dark part of the year while we are having the long days now. Not too much longer, Sandra, and we’ll trade. We’ve made the move long ago to a very rural area but there is NO public transportation available here so every trip to town must be planned carefully to save gasoline.
