Sunday Session 3 (2012)

I've been a bad link up blogger it's been just under a month since I linked up with Thea's Sunday Session and shared in some great music with our bloggers and listen to the music they like. 

If you want to join in with the fun you can just click on the link that says Thea's in the above sentence or click on the Sunday Sessions button to the right of the screen. 

When I was growing up I loved Adam Ant's music and thanks to Adam Hills and his show Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight I've been reintroduced to Adam Ant as his brought out some new music this year. 

The first two clips are favourites of mine






This last one is called Vince Taylor and is about a singer who had a group called Vince Taylor and The Playboys in the 50's & 60's but how drug abuse, drinking & personal problems really played havoc on him.



If you want to know more about Vince Taylor just do a Google search on him.

Thousand Word Thursday 5

Thursday has rolled around again, were I find myself looking for a pic that means a lot to me and playing Thousand Word Thursday with toushka one of many wonderful twitter friends. The idea is to find a photo that has meaning for you, place it on your blog then write why it has meaning then to post a link to it on toushka website. 

This picture is of a Mini Foxie cross Chiuaua that was given to our friend when her dog passed away  (I original had the parents) The pup was the runt of the litter, in this pic she is 12 years old, sadly she passed away early this year through old age but she was the most lovest & most playful dog (like her parents) 

Looking at this picture not only reminds me about her but about her parents & the friends that we gave her to. As you can see there is no need to dock a Mini Foxie cross Chiuaua's tail they still look pretty with their tail.

Can't wait to see your pics.

Thousand Word Thursday 4

Thursday has rolled around again, were I find myself looking for a pic that means a lot to me and playing Thousand Word Thursday with toushka one of many wonderful twitter friends. The idea is to find a photo that has meaning for you, place it on your blog then write why it has meaning then to post a link to it on toushka website. 

You can play from Thursday through to Sunday so please join us in sharing your pictures would love to see some of them.

This picture was taken at my husband's 2006 Year 12 graduation as a mature age student (this is where we actually meet & fell in love not the spot but the college)

He attended the college there over 3 years part time doing years 11 & 12, he went back to school not to only improve himself, but also to show his daughter that education can be an important thing to have in life and that no matter how old you are, you are always learning.

Younger/Older Drivers

I'm sick and tired of hearing how people whinge about younger drivers especially those on their L's or P's. It's about time society realised that it doesn't matter if your 15 years old or 80 years old there is no such thing as a perfect driver, these days we all have distrations it could be turning your music up, changing your music/radio channel, talking to your passengers, turning the air conditioning/heater on/off etc.

On Sunday night while watching RBT on Channel 9 a 76 year old lady tried to avoid the booze bus, now you can bet all the money in the world this wouldn't have made any media outlets and if it did it would have got a small meantion. Yet if it was a L or P plater then it would have been big news all over the media.

I do understand that some not all young people can be silly behind the wheel of a car but I'm also trying to point out no matter what age a person is everyone has been or maybe silly behind the wheel at some stage and if you want to give L or P platers a bad name then you need to give every driver including yourself a bad name.

You may ask well do you give yourself a bad name and my answer to that is yes I do with so much to concentrate on when your on the road it's not easy to be a perfect driver & as I said earlier there is no such thing as a perfect driver.

Also another thought that has just popped into my mind why is it the older drivers who mainly have their open Licences that ran over a child(ren) in the drive way you hear more reports of parents doing that then L or P platers yet once again a L or P plater could do that just as easy as a older person.

Plus look at all the truck drivers that have accidents all of them are older people who have their open licence and not their L's or P's

It was only a few weeks ago that our family drove from Brisbane to Penrith and had a lady who must have been about 45 years old sitting on our tail & overtaking at different places through Warwick all the way down to Scone. Comming home we had a guy around 60 sitting on our tail & over taking between Newcastle & Coffs Habour.

I'm not trying to say one group is better then the other far from it I'm trying to point out everyone is a bad driver, now you know my thoughts I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

UPDATE: Friday 9th July 2010 Maybe the media has been listening to me as I found this in the Courier Mail (Queensland) Newspaper http://tinyurl.com/3amnxw
