I'm going home for the long (Waitangi Day) weekend. While travelling from Christchurch Hospital to Christchurch Airport I got a notification, via the Air NZ app, that my flight home had been cancelled and I have been moved to another flight just one hour later. The airport staff have been fabulous and I was even given two $6 vouchers to be used for refreshments from any of the food places at the airport. When I was trying to put my case on the conveyor belt at the baggage drop and a group of people kept pushing in and dropping their bags in the space I was clearing trying to get my bag into a lovely member of staff said 'leave the bag with me, I'll deal with it. So different from my experience with Untied (deliberate misspelling) in LAX some years ago (don't ask, no, really don't, you don't want to get me started on that one). I'm so happy I live here.

#14 Fun Night In
Today is the first day back at work after Christmas. I told my boss that the dietician said I can eat chocolate (I had been given the wrong diet sheet). She opened her desk drawer and handed me these Christmas chocolate coins. What a lovely boss.

Akershus Fortress (Akershus Festning) is the old castle built to protect Oslo, the capital of Norway.
The first work on the fortress started around the late 1290s, by King Håkon V, replacing Tønsberg as one of the two most important Norwegian castles of the period (the other being Båhus). It was constructed in response to the Norwegian nobleman, Earl Alv Erlingsson of Sarpsborg’s earlier attack on Oslo.
The fortress has successfully survived many sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. In the early 17th c., the fortress was modernized and remodeled under the reign of the active King Christian IV, and got the appearance of a renaissance castle.
The fortress was first used in battle in 1308, when it was besieged by the Swedish duke Erik of Södermanland, who later in the same year won the Swedish throne. The immediate proximity of the sea was a key feature, for naval power was a vital military force as the majority of Norwegian commerce in that period was by sea. The fortress was strategically important for the capital, and therefore, Norway as well. Whoever ruled Akershus fortress ruled Norway.
The fortress has never been successfully captured by a foreign enemy. It surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital in the face of the unprovoked German assault on Denmark and Norway (see Operation Weserübung). During WWII, several people were executed here by the German occupiers. After the war, eight Norwegian traitors who had been tried for war crimes and sentenced to death were also executed at the fortress. Among those executed was Vidkun Quisling.
Akershus fortress is still a military area, but is open to the public daily until 9pm. In addition to the castle, the Norwegian Armed Forces museum and the Norwegian Resistance museum can be visited there. The Norwegian armed forces inteligence still has the HQ at Akershus Fortress.
Several Norwegian royals have been buried in the Royal Mausoleum in the castle. They include:
* King Haakon VII
* Queen Maud
* King Olav V
* Crown Princess Märtha
Is this what a bad hair day looks like??? Our granddaughter (my other favorite model) does makes us laugh.
for Project SoulPancake - week 2 - Art at Arms Reach
Week 2 challenge was very thought provoking for me................... to use material on my desk and arrange them in a way to create art. I am always surrounded by creative goodies, I need creativity to get me through my day. For me Art takes many forms however my Fav is painting, and I could have used the stuff lying around my desk to create a painting however that would have been too easy. I needed a true challenge. I started by gathering all the stuff on my desk and laying them down in no particular order, It was very busy and had loads of chaos and confusion. I liked that as it tied in with my thoughts of the challenge. I tried creating a few abstract modelling works however decided I was being too influenced by creating something for a photograph.
Then it hit me my art is emotional, I get the best out of all those material things when I use them emotionally. What is my emotional state at the moment, busy, confused, chaotic, messy............exactly as I was seeing in the materials I had gathered. A calm excitement came over me as I identified with the scene, I had created a still life that tied in perfectly with my perception of the challenge, it gave me an immediate sense of completion.
Hope this makes sense to whoever reads it..................if it doesn't then I dont really care HAHA.

The Ichthys LNG Project is a Joint Venture between INPEX group companies (the Operator), major partner TOTAL group companies and the Australian subsidiaries of Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Chubu Electric Power and Toho Gas.
CEA were employed to receive cargo consisting of modules and steel gas spools and apply full quarantine procedures in accordance with DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) regulations and prepare the cargo for shipping to Darwin, Australia. The parts are to be used in the construction of a new Gas Processing Plant.
All cargo received was recorded then placed in to CEA’s cargo consolidation facility in Laem Chabang. The Containers that would be used for shipping were also inspected and recorded.
CEA’s quarantine compliance area was cleaned and prepared to receive the cargo, Cislin 25 was administered throughout, rat bait boxes and salt traps surrounding the compliance area were also replenished.
All cargo was cleaned with pressure washers and detergent then placed on concrete blocks inside the quarantine area, a further application of Cislin 25 was applied to the surfaces of the cargo.
Each container to be used was cleaned using the same process, Cislin 25 was applied to the inside of each container to eradicate any remaining insects. All containers were placed in a separate quarantine area.
CEA fabricated packing frames from timber that had been treated and fumigated to kill all insects, the packing frames would ensure safe transit of the cargo.
The modules and gas spools were stuffed into the containers and secured in place with Cordex strapping. Chocks were installed on four sides of the cargo to prevent acceleration or braking forces causing possible damage during transit.
Fumigation through the use of Bug Bombs was used in each container. The containers were closed and sealed with the appropriate seals and readied for shipping.

Project Bread is an exploration of economic inequality and an examination of the disparity between the distribution of wealth and income.
Why is it that some are so blinded by their obsession with the accumulation of wealth that they overlook those less fortunate and in genuine need? Why is it that 1% of the world's population owns 50% of the wealth?
Project Bread is constructed from donated bread crates and depicts the ugly truth of the 'Global Wealth Pyramid".
Bread/ Dough = slang for 'money.

She has a very unique style and like a wide range of different shoes from running shoes to dressy high heels. This shows how Marin has a very creative style and that she enjoys fashion and her fun feminine side.

In one picture, Marin is sitting alone a wooden log with her camera.

She enjoys exploring different areas and visions different sights to get a better and clearer perspective of things. Marin enjoys photography and likes to takes pictures.
I adjusted these photos by changing the brightness and contrast, adjusting the curves and levels to show the different high lights and shadows, and the vibrancy to enhance the color.
