I’m late, I’m late – for a very important date

21 February 2007 by kristarella

This morning I woke up my husband after he’d pressed the snooze button three times by saying, “What time do you need to be at the courthouse?” He sat half-way up with a sleepy and confused expression on his face, so I continued, “The website said you weren’t needed before Wednesday 21st, that’s today.” He […]

Not just any job

20 February 2007 by kristarella

I have something I’ve been wanting to get off my chest. A couple of weeks ago we were having a farewell lunch for a work mate. The conversation came around to Mel and her baby and whether we thought she’d go back to work when her leave was up. I mentioned that there’s a research […]

Happy Valentine’s Day

14 February 2007 by kristarella

I generally don’t go for Valentine’s Day, hubby and I ignore it – made easier by the fact that our anniversary is two days before it. Despite that, I thought that this article was rather sweet. A couple from the Stone Age have been excavated, buried in each other’s arms.

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!
