Quote of the Day.'The advice of Jonathan Alpert, a Manhattan-based psychotherapist. "If you view travel as an adventure and a challenge -- including the long lines and delays -- then it can be fun," he says. His advice is to build in enough time to experience this adventure -- a cushion of time, "just in case there are delays." Avoid tight schedules and deadlines. After all, you're on vacation.

    Colour Me Corrected
    Monday, July 28, 2008
    In the previous Post, with cute images of my family....I seem to have 2 TNG's #6.

    HERE IS THE CORRECTION for now

    The TNG#6 in my Daughter's Family is in fact TNG#5.

    Also I have been hunted down by the Apostrophe Police as I left it out of
    My Sons Family...It ought to be My Son's Family.

    Furthermore, there has been a complaint
    regarding the colour selection on the chart of

    My Daughter's Family.

    And finally, for now, HRH has pointed out that I have been leaving the first 'i'
    out of the word Beijing.

    Anything else?

    My apologies for the quality...I was using my phone video camera...I will be getting a good camera soon. This was more of an experiment really...and is ok for that I think.

    Colour Me Amazed

    A Younger Mick: less widom, less money but slightly better looking.
    But hey now worth some 225 million pounds ($466.7 million) who needs looks...


    AGEING baby boomers who took heart from Greg Norman's performance in the British Open will have further reason to celebrate tomorrow. Michael Philip Jagger, the slim-hipped, full-lipped frontman of the Rolling Stones, will celebrate his 65th birthday and officially become an old age pensioner. At an age when most Poms are pottering, Jagger is keeping company with a woman 25 years his junior -- stylist L'Wren Scott -- still performing and branching out into film production. Jagger has been married twice, to Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall, and has seven children and three grandchildren

    TNG #2 has a set of these and so I was delighted to see more...

    captured the refelction of the marble floor tiles.




    I couldn't resist the blue set...they are all so beautiful. Im popped inside and asked the girl for a business card, and told her why.

    Colour Me Balanced (politically)

    McCain critical of Obama speech

    Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has indirectly attacked Democratic rival Barack Obama for giving a political speech in Berlin.

    "I'd love to give a speech in Germany... but I'd much prefer to do it as president than as a candidate," Mr McCain told reporters in Ohio.

    Mr McCain has been campaigning...more

    Colour Me Interested

    BERLIN: Barack Obama's popularity extends far beyond Iowa and into the heart of Central Europe. Germany has swiftly developed a serious case of Obama-mania.





    Obama's high standing goes beyond his opposition to the Iraq War, which has always been unpopular here. The sudden crush is intimately bound up with the near constant comparisons here between the young senator from Illinois and President John F. Kennedy - still admired in Germany and particularly in Berlin - which have stuck fast as his identity in the German press


    The Berliner Morgenpost over the weekend ran with the headline, "The New Kennedy...more

    Colour Me Foodie
    I visited the Melbourne CBD David Jones Store today. I took a special trip to check out the
    Food Hall. We used to love going there....



    One of the delights in the Bakery...



    Beautiful flowers in the floral corner...In the food hall you can really buy everything you need for a meal. Just start at the fruit (at the base of the entry escalator) and walk on and all the way around...then you will have everything
    for every course.




    I took this picture (below) for HRH!!!

    Even though it is mid winter and feeling like it,
    apparently Spring
    is not so far away.....these flowers had a wonderful fragrence.





    A world of cheeses....for my lunch,
    I ate King Island Double Brie
    on a peice of multigrain bagette
    I bought from a bakery




    the tram was coming so I didnt get to steady
    the camera very well. This Cakeshop
    has been here for years and years,
    though it has changed hands and names
    many times. It always seems busy...
    perhaps too busy for the owners so
    they move on?




    Just one of the many Delis at the market.....so many choices and food from all over the world. The area around this market
    is very multi national,
    so there are many influences evident in the market, and surrounding shops.

    Colour Me Shivering
    Yesterday, that is Wednesday to me,
    it was really cold. A grey shivering
    10 degrees here in Melbourne. I ventured out
    to the postoffice, and was so cold on the way back I popped into
    a lovely Cafe. I had a fun hot chocolate...and warm
    rasin toast. I loved the clock on the
    wall. Check it out below.
    Once warmed up, I ventured on home..






    ...they even made the toast 'well done; for me.
    Very friendly staff.



    A cosy atmosphere...with no chance of being late
    to your next appointment.

    Colour me Grandmothering
    Tuesday, July 22, 2008
    I am now a hal muh ni

    a Korean grandmother.

    My grandson Kim Ha Sung was born last Friday 18th July.
    Young Mr Kim, and his parents are doing well.

    I was delighted to be invited to choose the English name for him.

    I refected upon this for a couple of weeks and have just now presented the selction to
    my Korean son.

    Ha means: lead encourage congratulate. Sung means star.

    Ha Sung's English name is 'Jarrah'.

    He is named after the unique Australian Tree.

    For hundreds of thousands of years the only jarrah forest in the world has been evolving in the south-west corner of Western Australia.

    Because they are deep-rooted, as much as 40 m, jarrah are drought resistant
    and able to draw water from great depths during dry periods.

    Jarrah has proven durability, even in the long, hot summers of Australia.

    A relatively large tree which attains a height of up to 130 feet, with a straight trunk up to 50 feet or more and a diameter up to 6 ½ feet.

    Jarrah Kim/Kim Ha Sung will be raised in Christ and have deep strong roots in the gosple and in his family. Also his Australian Family.

    Welcome Jarrah.
