21/366 Fireworks anyone?

Went bush bashing today with Snowy Bob, my father, up into Stringy Bark Gully which was used by the RAAF as a Replenishing Centre No 8 at Redgate in Tasmania.  This is a photo of what remains of the Pyrotechnic Store, Building No 4.

Have you ever gone scrambling through the bush or forests just to find the remains of old buildings?

18/366 Christmas pudding

Went to lunch today at my parents’ place. Mum’s sister Margaret was also there as was my niece Georgia. Dad (SnowyBob) doesn’t particularly like roast meals, so when mum wants one, we all get an invite. This is what remained of a home made Christmas pudding by the time we had all had a slice. These are made and cooked in a cloth then boiled in a saucepan.

17/366 Running a chat

Let's chat!

A couple of weeks ago, @mgraffin asked if I would mind running a #globalclassroom chat on Twitter.

How difficult could that be, I thought.

Well today  I found out:

  • how alert you have to be
  • that you need to have questions prepared
  • you need to be able to re-tweet quickly

But I think the participants, from many parts of the globe, all shared and received information on how they are connecting their students in a global world by communicating and collaborating.

Here is a link to a Google document where you could add the global projects you have taken part in.

Have you and/or your students taken part in a global project?

Please add a link in the comment section telling us about it.

15/366 Getting there

For the first time in many years, I can now see the books on my bookshelf. I have taken off those to go in the booksale and on the bottom shelf are those relating to genealogy and Tasmanian history. The top shelf is more fiction and non-fiction I still want to keep. Many relate to Australia and include biographies.

Where have all the books gone?

14/366 Woodpile

Earlier this month, I mentioned I had many stumps sawn off and then ground to sawdust. I don’t have a wood fire at my place, but my brother does. Today he came around to break up the wood. Hopefully he will get it taken away before I hold my big booksale in early February.

13/366 Unlucky day

Today is the 13th January and a Friday as well. You might have noticed I didn’t post an image today mainly because I was feeling extremely ill after spending Thursday night before being sick all night. Don’t know the reason why – but am feeling better now. I certainly wasn’t in the mood to take a photo.

7/366 Forgot the tablet

When at the local shop yesterday, I purchased some fuel for the lawnmower. Decided to mow the lawn today, being Saturday, typical thing to do on the weekend. But forgot I hadn’t taken the hayfever tablet this morning. Now I am sneezing, coughing and runny nose, while the lawn is only half cut.
