So today we reach the final scheduled post for Splat On. As it is when good things end, I find myself thinking over the good times. There’s been quite a few life changes. Making the tree change or moving in with partners, or better still, friends from the blog. To have shared some of . . . → Read More: Finishing Off FOF This week has been a week of endless tasks and rising panic that I am going to forget something. Al tells tale of a speaker he saw, the author of Getting Things Done, who had an extensive list for travel. Every item on the list was forgotten at least once. It is said to . . . → Read More: What’s on your mind? British retailer Marks & Spencer, in conjunction with Oxfam, have been doing a bit of research into clothes styling in relationships. Among the findings was that, for the first few months (the honeymoon phase) of a relationship, you can pretty much get away with most things you’re wearing. But after that, your partner will . . . → Read More: Wh/sWW – What is he/she Wearing on Wednesday?!?! There’s been some interesting debate this week on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). If you read the article I read on news.com.au, you might have been a bit perplexed as to what we are up to in this country. There was a statement on the Herald Sun yesterday, as they bashed the . . . → Read More: Fitting Out Fellow Aussies We will remember them. The fathers and brothers, uncles and sons, who never came home and still lie in those places abroad that they fell. We remember those who came home and were never the same. The mothers and daughters, sisters and aunts, who served equally with their male counterparts and perhaps weren’t recognised. . . . → Read More: And at the going down of the sun… You have an itch you can’t reach and it’s been driving you crazy, so you’ve got a loved one (or someone you paid an awful lot of money too) to scratch it. All very well, but as they are scratching around trying to get the right spot, you notice that every time they get close . . . → Read More: The Big Itch Last night, I went running. I say last night, but since I’m writing this post on Wednesday afternoon, it’s going to be tonight. But by the time you read this, it will be last night. I may let you know how it went. Other times I go to the gym and lift weight. Just small . . . → Read More: Forget lifting weights… As you may have heard, from hints we’ve dropped on Twitter & Facebook, the Smocust is skipping the country and heading for cooler climes. That, of course, means resigning from our current jobs. Smoph & I both opted for the dignified way of doing it, but there are those whom aren’t as concerned with burning . . . → Read More: Going out in style An article has surfaced this week about the relatively new SAMOA Airlines causing a big stir. They’ve now started charging passengers and their luggage purely and simply by the kilogram. On one hand this could be a very sensible and logical move. After all, particularly on smaller aircraft, the cost of the flight and fuel . . . → Read More: Wednesday Weigh-In: Would you still come fly with me? There is a certain glorification of the past, a very vintage appreciation. Whether it is the clothing of a former generation (which seem to come back around anyway), or a style of decor, or even the music, it seems that we idolise that which has gone before. Last night, Al and I traipsed down to . . . → Read More: When will the vintage themes become irrelevant? |
