Admittedly I have managed to bring my rampant coffee addiction to a semblance of normality. Now "what is normal?" is an open ended statement. There is so many variations among our communities that it boggles the brain
even contemplating the "NORM" let alone saying that I have attained a sense of normality on something with a spectrum as wide as coffee consumption.

I have no concerns about my awareness and so my own opinion will suffice. For the past month I have been getting through my usual 18 hr days with between 3-5 mugs of coffee a day. Prior to this I was drinking 10-12 mugs of fresh ground plunger coffee a day. I decided that as much as I love coffee this was too much and it was probably giving those much abused internal organs of mine Mr Liver and the Twins Kidney stretch marks that they really don't need.

I even went as far as buying a tin of instant coffee as well so my current 3-5 mugs a day includes the powdered street dirt version of coffee as well!
Have I noticed any difference in this reduction/ I am happy to say yes. I sleep a bit sounder and don't wake up feeling edgy, I do notice a marked decrease in my work output though. This is disconcerting to say the least yet I still get my work done and create just as much but over a longer period of time.

Yet all in all I do not know if this current coffeee consumtion is better for me or not!? Quite puzzling in fact I have no cravings for coffeeas i used to but have no idea if it has mmade a difference in my comfort and quality of life hhaha.

I am choosing to believe that it is good for me and will happily stick with my self deception coz it suits me at the minute to believe so.

Official Gordon site lists Geoff's CD

After 5 years of touring the live show The Ballad of Adam Lindsay Gordon and seeing and being part of raising the profile of Australia's acclaimed national poet, today was a bonus for me.

With preparations for this years Froth and Bubble Day celebrations well under way for the 24th of June the Adam Lindsay Gordon Commemorative Committee has listed the cd of the show on their memorabillia and store page.

The Committee site is a great research tool for anyone wanting to know more about Gordon with a huge selection of documentation and knowledge available and a good easy introduction to the poet for the casual browser.

When No-One remembered ANZAC day...

Not that long ago I was one of the handful of people who went each year to remember the fallen on ANZAC day. There would be the Returned Servicemen marching down the quiet street to the Robe war memorial and a group of ten if that, people waiting for them to arrive and the commemoration service to begin! That was in 1974-76.

Today I was out working, delivering the newspapers and noticed the large number of vehicles driving into and around the town on their way to Victoria Street from 6.00am to gather for the 6.45am march to the memorial of the fallen in two world wars and following conflicts Australian's have served in.

Fortunately I only have one pass down Victoria Street and that is early in the newspaper delivery round at 6.15am. By then the street was already filled with cars parked almost the entire length from the RSL to the Memorial on both sides, at least a kilometre! And there were people lining the footpaths to watch the returned service men and women march past and follow behind them.

My memory went back to the 1970's when that street was so empty I used to walk alongside the service men to the memorial. Except for one or two war widows I'd notice. One was an occaisional teacher at my school and she used to wait on the last street corner before the memorial then she would follow for the service.

As the men got to her corner there was a subtle straightening of the backs and the steps were all in time and the solemnity of ANZAC DAY was observed in it's spirit of remembrance.

Today I wondered if some of those men who have been doing that ANZAC DAY march over the past 30 plus years had any thought of the many years they marched along an empty street with no company except their fellow marchers and the memory of the fallen? Yet today, they marched down the same country town street filled with people to follow them to the service to commemorate the fallen.

Blogging or MySpace! You need help if you say YES to 3 of these...LoL

ADDICTED TO MYSPACE?!?!
You know your addicted to Myspace when:
1. You are at a bar or club and you suddenly realize you recognize someone. You can't figure out how and then it dawns on you... You have never met this person before, but have spent a considerable amount of time looking at their Myspace.
2. After meeting someone your conversation somehow leads to - "So, are you on Myspace?"
3. You do not call people anymore, you post comments and send messages through Myspace
4. When talking about one of your friends you just refer to them as 'Brandonisforlovers' rather than their real name.
5. When you're out with friends and you take a good picture you exclaim loudly, "That's going on Myspace!"
6. Conversations with friends tend to lead to, "Did you read that bulletin/comment/ or see that new picture 'Cuddlemaria' left?"
7. You check your Myspace as soon as you wake up, and right before you go to bed, including the 10 times you check it during the day
8. You know people who have gotten offended about the Top 8.
9. You start off intending to check if you have new messages/comments but find AN HOUR LATER that you are still on and have no idea what you even accomplished during that time except stalk.
