Favourite books from childhood

I read more widely as a child, visited the local library every week (good old GI) and dipped into fantasy, historical, present day, fairy tales, books from different countries, no wonder I ended up working in a library! here is a selection of 3 favourite titles from Librarything

Generators ...

I was given a good web site to try www.imagechef.com which allows you to write on buttons, books, sand etc and makes it easy (no extra programmes to add). These are two of my favourite hobbies - reading and eating chocolate!

Stickies, generators etc

http://wigflip.com/superstickies/...... This exercise is harder than it looks, too many pop up windows which are a concern on a home computer!

RSS feeds

I have added my RSS feeds, mostly serious newsworthy stuff like the BBC news, NZ Herald and quotes of the day. the good thing about these feeds is that once you read them or not! they disappear and the next time you look there is fresh material so not like the long list of emails we all get in our inboxs. I am now more aware of the RSS symbol so will try to subscribe to some fun things in th future.

Cycle tours

I enjoy cycling and trying out the local cycleways around Auckland - Pakuranga rotary walkway, Kiwi esplanade and the track from Kiwi esplanade to the stone fields. Recently I cycled the Otago rail trail and I recommend this to everyone who wants to get away from the Auckland traffic and and be able to look at the scenery without 2 lanes of cars trying to overtake you.

The real McCow

My favourite animal

My favourite animals are Highland cattle, they look very cuddly even though they have horns

This will be a new experience for me, I use the email and the net at work so when I'm at home I don't really get on the computer except to play solitaire which I find very relaxing and amazing how the time flies.

I'm looking forward to learning about web 2.0 which at the moment is a complete mystery!
