Month: January 2015

Week in Review: 19-25 January 2014

Monday was the last day of our holiday. We took a short walk through the forest at the back of the hotel before we left. The rest of the day we spent driving home and feeling a bit frustrated that we were stuck in the car on the day...

Trip Day 3 (Part 2): Dove Lake

So we made it to Dove Lake, along with every other tourist in the park and, even though it was windy, we decided we’d attempt the Dove Lake Circuit. It’s recommended that you do the circuit clockwise. Unlike other walks we’ve done recently, we saw this sign so decided...

Trip Day 3 (Part 1): Cradle Mountain

This morning the weather looked better, but that was just an illusion, and by the time we’d had breakfast, it was looking pretty ordinary. Juniordwarf was thrilled with the all-you-can-eat buffet style breakfast. He said to Slabs, ‘you didn’t tell me about this!’ and Slabs had replied that he’d...

Holiday Day 2 (Part 2): Cradle Mountain

If you know anything about Tasmania, you’ll probably have heard of Cradle Mountain.  It’s one of our most well-known landmarks and is a hugely popular area for visitors. I’d not been there since I was in high school (so you know, about 12 years ago), when our family spent...

Holiday Day 2 (Part 1): Tasmazia

This morning we had breakfast in Sheffield before having a last look at the murals and heading for Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot, about 15 minutes away in the wonderfully named Promised Land. On the way I insisted we stop to take photos of Mt Roland. It’s...

Holiday Day 1: Sheffield

It’s become a bit of a tradition for us to go away in the middle of January for a few days. Last year we went to Bruny Island, and this year we decided to take a trip to the north of the state. Our destination on the first day...

Week in Review – 12-18 Jaunary 2015

Another week at work. I had a few things happening, and enough little things to distract me from being able to sit down and concentrate on one thing for any length of time. I’m slowly putting the systems from Getting Things Done into place at work, and I hope...

Project Life – Looking Back (Part 1)

2014 was the 5th year I’d used the Project Life system to document my year in words and pictures. I thought I’d do a review of how the system has changed over this time and how I’m using it. The system has changed a lot since I started back...

12 of 12 January 2015

Today was Monday and I was in Hobart for work. The forecast was a mostly sunny day, 15 to 24 degrees. 1 of 12 – One of the new habits I am trying to get into (I’m not calling them resolutions because we all know we don’t stick to...

Tahune AirWalk

Slabs and I went to the Tahune AirWalk  many years ago, pre-Juniordwarf. We thought he might like to go there, so after talking about it for ages, we finally picked a weekend and went. The Tahune AirWalk is about 28 km from Geeveston in the Huon Valley. It’s located...
