November Monthly Roundup
November in review

This is the first of what will (hopefully) be a monthly post, as part of the Log Your Memory journalling I will be doing for 2010. Rather than trying to make it a new year's resolution, I've decided to start early. So on to the roundup...

Books and/or magazines I read:
  • Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol"
  • tried to read this god-awful book about an Aussie vampire/were/shifter (not good)
  • Creating Keepsake's November issue
  • a couple of USA/Canada tour pamphlets
Movies, television shows, plays, etc I watched:
  • New Moon
  • True Blood
  • Zoolander (yet again)
  • Castle
  • Medium
Fun things did I do with family and/or friends:
  • Dinner at Kirsty & Luke's new house (with Emma, Andrew & Charlie)
  • Photography workshop on studio lighting
  • End of year Creative Shots Photography Club meeting (Jason came along and tried to do some macro photography with his iPhone)
  • Get Scrapped Getaway
  • Artspace Lunchbox Tour "Waters Edge" with Leah
  • Harrup Park with the Krolls and Mary & Robert
Best meal or food eaten in the past month:
  • Strawberries dipped in chocolate (at Kirsty & Luke's)
Gifts I gave and/or received:
  • Purchased almost all of our christmas presents
Special or unusual purchases I made:
  • I had a great idea for Jason's christmas present, I just hope he likes it
The most challenging thing I did:
  • Adjusting to using 12d (after 14 years of CivilCAD), at work
Something I learned or tried for the first time:
  • Using studio lighting, at the photography workshop
The best advice I gave or received:
  • Emma and Jason's ideas for presents for the Krolls
Anything else noteworthy:
  • Angus David Gordon arrived 29th November
  • Linda & Lee moved into their new house at Marian
One thing I would like to repeat:
  • seeing New Moon, on the big screen
Something I’d prefer to erase:
  • My increasing back and neck pain

Training summary:

  • Total No. of Walks or Walks/Runs - 19
  • Total Distance - 64.09km
  • Fastest Average Pace - 9:07min/km
  • Weight - 78.0kg max. and 76.9kg min.
  • Overall Weight Loss for Month - 0.3kg

Things to aim for next month:

  • Minimum 30 minutes of training each day
  • Enjoy the christmas period
Note to Self:
  • Take your camera and take photos!
At this point in my life:
  • I am … getting better at keeping up with housework
  • I need to change … my thoughts on food
  • I can … re-read Twilight, now that I've seen New Moon (self-imposed restriction)
  • I deserve … a relaxing christmas
  • I know … changing employers was a good decision
  • I am thankful for … the safe arrival of Angus Gordon
  • I am looking forward to ... christmas at Tamie & Daniel's (probably not conducive to three dot-points above)
Favorite photo:

This really large dragonfly spent a couple of days inside our lounge room, until I was able to get him through one of the front windows (with great difficulty).
