bit miffed

27 January 2007 by kristarella

My finger hurts where I usually wear my wedding rings. I get some dermatitis action under my rings and watch. I never had a problem until I started wearing my wedding ring. I wonder if I need to get my watch band and rings coated in something to stop the hurt and itching. My hair […]

Yesterday

27 January 2007 by kristarella

Yesterday, 26th January, was Australia Day. I believe that historically this was the day in 1788 when the first fleet landed at Botany and decided it wasn’t a good place to land and they went up to Sydney Cove.

It’s not my fault

25 January 2007 by kristarella

A while ago I had a cry because when things go wrong (at home) I’m made to feel like it’s my fault. Okay, so many things are my fault. Like when I’d made a great dinner and done all the dishes and everything was great, then the next morning I made us miss our train […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
