Victorian Trampoline Championships

Over the Easter weekend, Campbell took part in the Victorian Trampoline Championships, competing in the Under 11 competition for Trampoline, Double Mini and Syncro.

Despite being the youngest in the group, she managed to finish 7th in the state for tramp and double mini. Along with her partner, she pulled out all the stops and came second in the state for the syncro event.

Congratulations Campbell!

AOTD: People who drive really fast in car parks

AOTD: Annoyance of the day.

I’m lucky enough that my employer provides a reserved parking space for me in our office building. Like most office car parks, it’s underneath the building, going down six levels via narrow and windy driveways.

Now, I appreciate that at the end of the day everyone wants to get home. But is there any need to drive as fast as you can around the blind corners, with no regard for anyone that might be walking or driving past already?

I’m still alive, but only just!

Loving the new web site tools!

A little while back I posted about a plug-in for Windows Live Photo Gallery that adds support for uploading directly to SmugMug.  Now, it gets even better – I’ve found a plug-in for Windows Live Writer to easily add photos from photos.stocksfamily.org into blog posts:

Grab it from the plug-in gallery on live.com.

Epilepsy trivia challenge finals!

Earlier this year, I did the Epilepsy trivia challenge tryouts at school. I did so well I was chosen in the grade 3 team. We played in the Semi-Finals, and we got through. And today. 9 November 2008, the grand finals were held at Monash University. Soon we got the top 8 in the Victorian grade 3 schools.  8,7,6,5,4,3,2. None of these were us. And finally it was number 1. And…Camelot Rise. It was us! Our team could not believe it. We got a medal and a small trophy each. Our trivia teacher got a large one.

On the road (air?) again

Well, it’s been a while, but I’m heading off on another little trip. Sydney for a couple of days of meetings, and then off to Bangkok for some training. I’d almost forgotten how hard it is to leave Bren and Campbell at home.
