Remember...
One generation plants the tree...
Another sits in its shade.

The weeks have been flying by so fast since I started work in June that before I know it Christmas will be here. The countdown has begun, only 7 weeks till we'll be wishing everyone a Merry Christmas as we head home for the weekend. So far I've done very little about gifts. This week seems to have gone in a blur. I've been head down, bum up all week at work. Today I took a 2-hour lunch so I could watch Alex line dancing in a school concert, then enjoy the bbq lunch the school was putting on for its 125th Anniversary celebrations. It was great and I didn't mind staying back that extra hour to make up the time.
I've been using the image on the left as my desktop and it never fails to lure me in to look at the detail. It's a graphical masterpiece.
The Thursday TAFE course I'm doing is getting even more interesting because we're producing maps now. Mapinfo is the software we're using and it's a powerful tool for mapping and geographic analysis. We produced a map of the local REROC shires and then did a series of queries where we labelled each area with statistical information: population, area, percentages, etc. The queries were a challenge and my knowledge of databases helped a little. The trip to Temora each Thursday is a nice change as well, but normal work still has to be done so I'm fitting 5 days of typing into 4 and it's making the week go even faster.
Tomorrow the school fete is on and I've promised to help out on a stall. We still have to go to Wagga for touch football and it looks like I'll have a car full with most of the parents helping with the fete. Tomorrow night the school is holding a dinner at the club and I wouldn't mind going. The kids could perhaps sleep at their father's. We'll see tomorrow (my favourite saying, according to Carly).
