Sudoku!

13 January 2006 by kristarella

For the last few days we have been holidaying at Copacabana (NSW Central Coast) with a couple of friends. During the time there we played several games and did many puzzles – crosswords, sudoku, kakuro, unisol. I was pretty excited when I finished a five square sudoko. I’ve only ever tried to do one other […]

Pic of the day

7 January 2006 by kristarella

10 points if you can guess what this is! I was a little slow getting into digital cameras – I always thought that I’d love my big honkin’ SLR until it died. My hubby bought himself a Canon ixus 50. It’s very nifty and has so many fancy functions to play with. It’s excellent because […]

Ugh! I have to catch a train and a bus into work and uni everyday. A lot of the time it’s okay; occasionally I drive and that usually turns out well. Sometimes it’s a pain in the backside! Yesterday I left work at 2:30pm – I wasn’t feeling very well. I then had to wait […]

25 December 2005 by kristarella

Waves and Wind

24 December 2005 by kristarella

Yesterday we got back from leading on Sailing camp, officially named Waves and Wind. It pretty much involves looking after ~50 10–12-year-olds; doing activities like sailing, games, putt putt golfing, bible studies and singing. I am pretty tired. I just slept from about 5pm last night to 7:30am this morning. The last night of camp […]

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).
