Weekly Wrap Up –

I’m only going to give you one link this week. I’m sure you’ve seen the news about the flaperon possibly from MH370 washing up on Reunion Island. If you want to keep up to date on happenings, my advice would be this thread on PPRuNe – Flaperon washes up on Reunion Island for all the latest info plus discussion from actual pilots.

Snoskred On Holidays

For the next two weeks, Snoskred will be taking a holiday from the blog. My Aunt and Uncle will be here visiting, The Other Half has holidays booked, and my intention is to put the laptop away for most of, if not the entire, time.

You won’t see comments from me on your blogs while I’m on holidays. It is not you, it is me. ;) I just need a break. I’m quite determined and committed to taking this time off!

I probably will not be keeping up with my blog reading, meaning I will return to a lot of posts to read. So you might get comments on older posts from me mid August.

I’ve got photo posts scheduled for the next two weeks, but I am giving you a holiday as well – I’ll be turning off the comments on my holiday photo posts.. today will be the last post you can comment on until I return.

I’ll be back on Monday the 17th of August. :)

Last week I posted some photos of Yananyi Dreaming, a special Qantas livery on a 737. This week I have the two special 747s together for you, taken together in 2004 at Sydney Airport.

The blue art-plane was known as Nalanji Dreaming.

The red art-plane was known as Wunala Dreaming.

You can read more about these special flying artworks here.

Weekly Wrap Up –

On the home front, there is good news and not so good news. GOOD: We now have two areas of concrete laid. BAD: The trouble is, there is one area missing, and it is the most important one, the part that connects the driveway to the new concrete. Our cars will be sitting out the front for at least another week. :(

On Wednesday I went with a friend to watch Take That Live. These guys always put on a fantastic show but I usually have to wait for the DVDs to come out. It was amazing seeing the concert on the big screen. There were, admittedly, only 6 of us there, so chances are it will never happen again.

You can find unusual upcoming screenings via the Advanced Tickets page, and also, the Alternate Cinema page.

If you like Pink Floyd, this one might be for you.

Posts Snoskred Enjoyed –

Before posting the links, I will like to say this. Bloggers, there is a way to make your post titles in capitals without actually having to use capitals via CSS. It is called uppercase. I’ve been re-writing post titles to remove the caps, and I’m done doing that. I’m just going to post them in caps from now on.. no offence meant!

Perhaps I can convince Sephy to create a how to guide for that one day. I talked him into writing a how to guide for Tunnelbear, which people might be interested to read. You know when you go to a US or UK website and it says “this content is not available in your region”? Tunnelbear is your solution. Licensing agreements, piffle to you!

How To: Use TunnelBear – I use Tunnelbear regularly to watch everything from tv trailers to video clips.

Last Words: Six Things to Say When Someone is Dying – While I am hopeful I won’t have to be saying these things anytime soon, I do want to point out that saying them now to the person(s) you love is worth doing. I wrote about being that person and saying those important things to people.

The Best Whole Grain Breakfast Recipes on the Interweb (Round Up) – Need more grains in your diet? You should be able to find something here.

Donald Trump Is The World’s Greatest Troll – and it isn’t just the hairstyle that gives it away.. :) Seriously Donald, quit hanging onto those hair scraps, man up, shave whatever that is, OFF!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE! NEW PHOTO RELEASED AND TWO YEARS OF GEORGE’S BEST EXPRESSIONS – This is a beautiful post well worth clicking through to read.. :)

MORE MUSHROOM LOVE – MY SPEEDY, SIMPLE MUSHROOM PATE – I have been cooking mushrooms for lunch every single day this week and I think maybe this mushroom pate might be worth a try. It would spice up my cheese and crackers nicely, I think.

Roasted Asparagus and Mushroom Carbonara – this sounds incredible!

Here On The Blog –

Last week I showed you Yananyi Dreaming in Sunday Selections Week 29 – I spoke about how Your Religious Beliefs Are Yours. – and told you about some shows I have been revisiting in Television Tuesday – Old Shows.

Weekly Wrap Up –

One of the scam posts I did is a gift that keeps on giving.. there have been thousands of views to that post since I first posted it. Some days nobody posts a comment on it, and then some days there are 5-10 new comments on the post. Some days maybe 20-30 people view it, and some days 200-300 people view it, and one day this week over 800 people viewed it..

Here at home, we are all set for concreting to happen, however the weather being so cold they have put the job off because concrete will crack if it gets too cold while it is setting. This means the cars are stuck out the front of the house which is not a comfortable situation for me.

I talked about some teevee shows I have been enjoying on Television Tuesday – SBS On Demand and then on Wednesday I showed you my new coatigan with the help of Carter – Carter Models Again and finally I told you about one of my favourite actors – Men I Love To Watch – Aaron Paul.

Blog Spotlight –

Each week, I will link to a blog I am reading to shine a spotlight on it and tell you what I like about it. This week – whenever I go to Aldi, I am reminded of Imogen from Tia Cherie because some of the hair dye boxes have a model posing similarly to how Imogen often poses in her fashion shots.

Tia Cherie

I said in a comment there once that I would take a photo and post it, and I finally remembered to get my phone out on our fortnightly shop. Imogen, I love your style, and I love your blog. :)

Coming Up –

Weekly Wrap Up –

This week has been an interesting one in Snoskredland. We discovered that we did not have a sewer leak or a pipe leak but we likely had found a natural spring given the lack of rain here just lately..

I went on a shopping trip with the parents during which I FOUND MY KNIT at Millers and it is absolutely stunning! I did not see it on the website. I will show it to you this Wednesday.

Then in the latter half of the week, the contractors arrived to do preparations for our new driveway, and our cars have had to be parked out the front since Thursday which meant I cleaned out every single item, even from the gloveboxes, because we have a bit of a problem with car window smashing around here.

Sunday Sweets: Rainbow Connection – My favourite cake is the second one.

Domain Anonymity and the Brilliance of Entertainment Lobbyists – This *is* a terrible idea.

This leads me to write a message to the Entertainment Peoples. Guess what? People will pay for your stuff if you can provide them an easy and simple means to do so, plus, provide your entertainment via those means to the entire world within an hour of the show airing in the first country it airs in. Your licensing deals are so 1994. The internet exists now and you can’t just bury your head in the sad and pretend like it doesn’t.
