A. Morning Musings

6:50 am I began with a look at my Plan for today. It is relatively light. Perhaps a cuppa will help my neuron to fire. I am going to begin with a check of email and web news. Then I am going to access my blog ( ) and see what is involved in trying to copy my entries into a web page.

B. Plan

Chores: none

Exercise: Exercise & Beach walk.

Technology: Make a few notes on "Digital Photography".

Mathematics: Continue reading "Everything and More".

Education: Begin reading Frank McCourt's "Teacher Man"

C. Actual

7:15 am Copy & paste works well with the blog although the images fail to come across (not a big problem). Actually not a problem at all. The images simply need to be saved separately from the text.

8:00 am I have successfully copied and pasted all of my blog! It may be viewed here. Now to reorder the posts to a top-down sequence. Done. 8:45 am

8:50 am I am about to make Technology notes for the book "Digital Photography". Done. Making these notes gave me an opportunity to pull out the important points and thus make it much more likely that I will remember them when I begin to use my new camera. 10:30 am

11:30 am I am about to have a first look at some loose sheets of notes that I brought with me from Lethbridge. Done. There are a number of pages that I would like to have another look at and see if they can be incorporated into this web site. For example, I am about to create a map for "salmon" which might then be placed in the Food web site.

Each recipe would then appear as a node with a color corresponding to the cooking method used. 12:50 PM

8:15 PM We had a great beach walk to Shelly beach. We finally went up to the Ballina lighthouse, then saw an osprey and some sooty oystercatchers.

Dinner was a fine steak with oodles of onions & mushrooms:

D. Reflection

9:10 PM A good day. I have only 9 items on my February ToDos list - it almost seems manageable. I have begun reading "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. Tomorrow I plan to buy a couple of salmon steaks and try out a recipe in "The Great Seafood Cookbook".

I also hope to have a closer look at some of the remaining papers from Lethbridge and determine what should be done with them. And I will have a second look at the Microsoft Windows xp magazine.

I have decided to classify McCourt's book as Literature, rather than Education. 9:20 PM
