ABC for Wednesday - G

The native grass here is called Spinifex. It looks like a soft grass but make the mistake of touching it and you get pricked.

First Sunday in October - Competitions

Sure has been hot these last couple of weeks. I think I have finally got the pool maintenance thing under control now. Things have been a bit stressful at work but that is not my main worry. Have been depressed lately. Need to go in the sun more - vitamin D defficiency!

Been entering in a variety of competitions. Sometimes I win something other times I don't but hey if you don't enter them you never win anything! I have entered into a photographic competition, am making jewellery to enter into a jewellery competition, and also entered into a magazine competition to win a holiday on a houseboat cruising along the Murray River. Probably won't win anything but they are all worth a shot.

I don't remember when I first started entering into competitions but I know I started my kids entering into competitions as young as 6 months (my son won cutest smile category - even though he was asleep when they announced it!) He has since gone on to win on his own in story writing, maths and chess competitions. My daughter has been entering in colour-in competitions and has even entered some artwork in local art exhibitions for junior artists.

My husband complains that everytime I enter into competitions (or even buying raffle tickets) then telemarketers start ringing us. He does have a point so now I either leave my phone number blank or I put in my mobile number. This seems to have detered some of them.

This coming weekend is our local Art and Craft Fair. I will be helping at a stall - selling my jewellery along with two others. It should be very interesting. This week I need to be like a production line and make a whole heap to be able to sell over the two days. I will endeavour to remember to take the camera so I can take photos of my jewellery.

Cheers for now.
