Applied a few effects to this one and quite liked it. Picasa is quite good for this.

First multi pic post having visited the sculpture park outside of Hamilton it was so hard to choose. Loved the lost sign. If you go this way you will be lost. Reminds me a little of education today.

We made an iTi

Made one of the iTi light shades from David Trubridge a cool/eco aware New Zealand Designer. Infact made 2 but maybe another day for the next Pic.

Where there is smoke there is fire.

This classroom should be ready for 2010. The school has been around since  1876. I loved the different layers and paint in this picture. Took this when looking at progress today. The following is taken from the herald.

Firefighters say the blaze at the Hamilton East School was well under way when they arrived around 6am. Photo / Sarah Ivey

Hamilton teacher Sheryl Nagels is still trying to understand why someone would consider trying to burn her historic school down.

Ms Nagels, a new entrants teacher at the decile 4 Hamilton East School for the past 14 years, was yesterday sifting through the burned remains of a classroom totally gutted in an arson attack.

"Our school has problems with vandals like any other school but this really is distressing ... it's a very old school," said Ms Nagels.

The school, which is part of the Hamilton East Heritage Trail, was first established nearby at Steele Park in 1872. It has been at its present site since 1876 and is Hamilton's oldest school.

Firefighters were called to the school, on the corner of Dawson and Grey Sts, shortly before 6am yesterday and arrived to find a vacant classroom well ablaze.

sleeping with apnea

Brian has sleep apnea and has to wear this to bed each night otherwise he stops breathing. Not that he will die but that he will splutter and not be able to sleep. Brian was the best man at my parents' wedding and is a long time family friend. Brian kindly posed for this pic he is not really sleeping ;-) . Sweet Dreams Brian.

ITI

So looking forward to making this from David Trubridge

Rich man Poor man

Not sure of the wealth some people have leaves me feeling guilty about feeling envious but people have boats houses tractors glamour. Guess in reality it is interesting that we all like the beach and alot of people like fishing.
