Milestone

Published by at 7:28 pm under blogging,random

I just realised I notched up 100 posts today. I knew it was coming, but it just snuck up me.

Thought I’d share one of the advantages of working from my home office:

This (Olympus C-2100 ultra zoom) camera may be over seven years old and weigh about a kilo, but I wouldn’t swap it for any fit-in-your-pocket compact.

    Congrats on 100 posts, first 100 can seem the hardest. Except for the second hundred. Oh and the third ….

    Having just bought a new digital SLR i spent a lot of time talking to the mad keen photographer running the camera shop i got it from and for quality a lot of the time he prefers to take photos with film rather than digital because it can often produce better shots.

    Congrats Meg. It won’t be long and your 1000th post will be sneaking up on you. :)

    Greg and Dan1el

    I’m thinking 15 years in the future, will I be posting in my capacity as the CEO of a large corporation or waiting for the grandkids to leave so I can write about all the cute things they said and did. Or my latest vacation to the Bahamas, or the new recipe for scones I just discovered….. Too scary!

    One post at a time…

    That’s the new Woranora Bridge (I’m old enough to remember when it was new, anyway), which would put you in the Shire somewhere, maybe Oyster Bay? Great place to live, its where I grew up and spent my first 21 years…I can still remember when Menai was all bush and the only reason you’d go to Lucas Heights was the tip :-) Nice to see there’s still some trees left :-)

    Congrats on the 100th post.

    Hi Duncan

    You’re a long way from “home”! You are correct about Woronora Bridge – it’s not all that old (maybe 6 years now). (You’re not thinking of Alford’s Point Bridge which replaced the punt from Lugarno to Illawong, but that was opened in 1973?)

    Yes there is still a fair bit of bush, but you’d hardly recognise Menai and Lucas Heights now!

    Congrats on the 100 posts Meg :) I look forward to reading the next 100.

    What a great view (glad someone pointed out where it was, I had no clue LOL)

    God, I’m not that old, Alfords Point Bridge was open before I was born, you can still see the punt landing place on the south side of the Georges River, least back in the 80s. I do remember though Tom Ugly’s Bridge before it was duplicated, when it use to be 3 lanes and they had traffic management things to change the lanes direction :-)

    Hehe, I didn’t think so – just thought you looked a little older than 27, but it’s hard to tell from a photo 😉

    They’re currently duplicating Alfords Point Bridge – because it’s like that (3 lanes). Not before bloody time either!

    Nice. 😀 It wouldn’t be too long on your next hundred as well. Happy blogging!
