My Pet- Thing 19

Her name is Phoebe
I absolutely love my pet dog Phoebe. Every morning she cries when she knows I am up and have to go outside to say good morning to her. She is a miniture fox terrier and very very spoilt.

I loved looking at other people's pets on the VU Wiki- this is fun!

LIBRARY 2.0

After reading all the articles about Library 2.0, I think all these new concepts in library services is great. It also encourages feedback and participation- great for evaluating our library collection.

With Encore everything is easier to find and easy to use- how could I go wrong!

On another topic SPRING is almost here- we shall soon have warmer weather, and

CHRISTMAS is 3 months away - hope my finances will enable a cash filled christmas this year!

Sure is DELICIOUS - Great Thing 17

The weekend is almost here and so it's time to think of a recipe to cook for the family on Saturday- that's my favourite day of the week! It is when I can relax and enjoy cooking a low GI recipe.
I've just explored 'delicious' and found some great websites on low gi recipes. Take a look at the links below of 2 great web sites that have cooking recipes:

Does anyone else enjoy cooking on the weekends?

Google Home Page- Thing 16

I have really enjoyed creating my igoogle home page- took me a while to find all the gadgets I wanted. Such as the weather- very important as the more rain we have the better. Great Jokes of the Day- keeps me smiling. News, sport, chinese proverb quotes, word of the day, quotes of the day, e-bay, google map search, google book search and of course facebook. Lots of fun- and all on the one page.
By the way, the quote of the day is:

They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
- Emily Dickinson
Thought I'd share with you all.

I love searching for more Cooking books

Hi everyone,
I have just been using Google Book Search and Google Scholar- found this great cooking book (A Beginner's guide)which we have in our catalogue. Even though I have been cooking for a very long time, it's always good to go back to the basics.
If I can't get hold of a copy I can then view at least some sections of it on-line- this is great!

Google Docs

I didn't know Google Docs existed until today. I have just created a document on Google Docs- an initation guest list for my daughter's 21st birthday party. This list will be great as I will be able to access it from my home computer and my daughter can access it as well. We can then jointly add or remove names as necessary. Sorry, can't share it with you all as your name may not be on the list ...

Google Maps- 13

I have used Google maps on many occassions. I like it a lot because you get directions which are easily set out from one destination to another. And what does everyone think about StreetView? I saw my house on StreetView and thought it looks great- I'm glad we weren't home on the day the picture was taken- there was not the usual 4 cars in the driveway- we must have all been at work.

MySpace and Facebook - Thing 12

I have just explored my way around MySpace and Facebook. I really like Facebook but let's be honest - who has the time for all this on-line social networking? Sounds great but maybe when I retire I will have more time. Now I know why my children spend so much time on Facebook and how drawn into it you can really get.
Hope our students aren't spending all their time in the library on Facebook- at least I can understand it more now.
