I hope it is as clear at 2am as it was during the day time. I think embroidery is a much more valuable skill than charting a freeway; on this basis, I'll never be able to live too far from the city, or indeed, learn to drive. I'm disappointed that it doesn't improve with age, however. Thank you for the compliment on my writing, Sara. I hope it is as clear at 2am as it was during the day time.

Living as I do near the Pigpen line, I find its new name remarkably accurate. Thanks for the anagram map. Living as I do near the Pigpen line, I find its new name remarkably accurate.

I was with my oldies friends (from my SA State Library days) in Adelaide recently and enthusiastically told them about my new young friends WHO CAN WRITE AND USE CORRECT GRAMMAR. Today I have looked at my favourite three websites and as I said, my friends can write. I enjoyed your new pieces. You have a fellow traveller as your office neighbour. Not only do I have no sense of direction - I do not know if I am going towards the city or away from it until I pass a landmark and even then I am confused until I see the city looming - or not! I have a fear of freeways and do not do them. As I say to my husband, family and friends, I can embroider 200 tiny roses on a smocked dress for a one year old but I cannot do freeways. I now can use flickr and LibraryThing and insert You tube, which no one in my ken can. Last week I had the most embarrassing experience. I was alone in the car so I was red faced by myself. I was travelling in Johnston St to Brunswick (as I do not do freeways) and there was a big hold up and I followed a truck to the outside lane as I thought everyone would have to veer right to avoid the obstruction in the left two lanes. I then had to turn right into Hoddle St , as I watched the cars who stuck to the left sail onwards. OK, I had checked the map during the hold up and saw that I could find my destination off Hoddle St quite easily. But I did not realise as I sallied forth that I was in the freeway lanes. I travelled on, conscious that hesitation can literally mean death in entering the freeway,entered and saw that an exit was close - 2km and put my blinker on for the whole two kms, hugged the left (almost in the service type lane) and phew, exited at Chandler HW. So, as I knew my way to Brunswick my way, I sailed all the way back to Kew Junction and restarted on Studley Park Rd then Johnston and this time did not veer. As I know no one but my colleagues read this blog I can safely tell you of my poor sense of direction, unless I have my journey planned and memorised. I even admired my sang froid (albeit a nervous one) as I travelled on the freeway and then started my journey again. I have so many stories to tell about my poor sense of direction and alas it does not get better as you get older. Rebecca,

Hi for 2008.

I was with my oldies friends (from my SA State Library days) in Adelaide recently and enthusiastically told them about my new young friends WHO CAN WRITE AND USE CORRECT GRAMMAR. Today I have looked at my favourite three websites and as I said, my friends can write.
I enjoyed your new pieces.

You have a fellow traveller as your office neighbour. Not only do I have no sense of direction – I do not know if I am going towards the city or away from it until I pass a landmark and even then I am confused until I see the city looming – or not! I have a fear of freeways and do not do them. As I say to my husband, family and friends, I can embroider 200 tiny roses on a smocked dress for a one year old but I cannot do freeways.
