Me at Mt Baw Baw with the West Gippsland Plains in the distance
Riscy took this photo of me yesterday. I think I look pretty glamourous even with massive hat hair... Its those big sunnies. (bloody useless though, I'm gonna wear my crappy old polarising sunnies next weekend as my eyes are killing me today)
We were skiing at Mount Baw Baw, which is a two hour drive from our house. We were practicing our skiing skills in preparation for our visit to Mount Hotham next weekend with a group of local friends.
The snow was perfect, soft and crumbly, not much ice at all. The sun shone bright all day and I managed to master tow lifts (which is all Mt Baw Baw has)... I only fell off the Tbar once, on the dismount :-)
Today I am not feeling too good, I think my body is in revolt. I lasted 1/2 a day at work today, then came home and spent the afternoon on the couch sleeping and watching Stage 14 of the Tour de France.
On Saturday I did this painting... apologies for the worst art photography ever, I'll try and get a better shot at a later date.
I might even hang this one somewhere in the house.

SPORT
Riscy and I have taken up Badminton, though we play in separate teams. Tonight was our third competition night and I won my first match YAY!!! In fact we won 2 out of the three matches I played... So I feel pretty good.
Last week I learnt that I need to keep my eyes open when attempting to hit the shuttlecock and this week I changed my serve and all of a sudden I became accurate (and more relaxed).
I'm really enjoying playing... even when losing. Everyone has been really friendly, though I have to work on learning peoples names... as others seem to remember mine LOL
The only thing is that it pretty much wipes out my Tuesday nights, we didn't get home 'til 10 tonight.
WEIGHTY ISSUESI am also going to Weight Watchers on Wednesday nights. I was getting to the point where I needed to buy new (bigger) clothes, which would have been totally depressing... so I'm spending my money on weekly meetings instead. I had forgotten how motivating it can be... I know it sounds dorky, but it is true. I'm going along with some friends, which I think will make it more fun. 3 or 4 years ago I lost 22kg and I've regained 13kg slowly over that time. It was time to take action.
PHOTOS
I took the above photos today. I like the boldness of the text and the spaces created between the lines of text.
When I was in Tasmania in February I picked up a copy of Typotastic - Issue 2. This is a magazine devoted to study and celebration of typography and is published by the University of Tasmania. I do not have graphic design background, but really enjoyed reading this groovy little book. It is published in a limited edition of 400 copies so I'm glad I spotted it when on my spending spree in Fullers Bookshop.
