N-Viro

Everybody these days is more aware of the need to look after our environment, that much seems clear I think. N-Viro is something that you simply need to hear about. N-Viro is a process whereby waste water can be treated, immobilised, pasteurised in such a way that has actual market value.

N-Viro which you can find more about here http://www.nviro.com is a great idea to treat waste water in a new alternative and responsible way. This is renewable energy in practice and you must look into it.

Great Lumix competition

Most people will know what great products are made by Panasonic. I have always enjoyed this particular brand’s many outstanding products and appliances. I remember being very fond of my walkman, this of course was back in the dark old days of the Eighties, you understand. But more recently I have bought other electronic products as well and as always I was very impressed with the consistent quality of the range.

Now, many of you will be proud owners of a Lumix photo camera. Listen up because I have some great news to tell you about a wonderful promotion called LUMIX Life Focus on Australia so be sure to check it out. It concerns a great competition where you can see your great Lumix photographs published on the site alongside great famous photographers such as Ken Duncan and Peter Eastway, just imagine the kudos if you can!

You little Beauty

Feeling a tad frazzled today, me hearties. Not sure why, to be honest. Just a bit run down and a bit nervous about things. Of course, my Aussie genes will soon see me relax and unwind again in good style. Might have a barbie and a few schooners and just kick back. Will be seeing Alice in Wonderland this weekend so looking forward to that experience. It will be my first sojourn into 3D territory so I will see how I go.

Love the game

Ever since I was a mere little nipper I have enjoyed playing games. There, I have said it and I am not ashamed of it, so there! In the winter, on those long dark evenings inside, the family would gather around the dining table after dinner and just play a nice board game or two to wile away the hours in a pleasant and always fun way. I loved how competitive some people get when playing games. To some, winning is so important they forget themselves to a certain degree.

But it is all good fun of course and playing a game is not only fun it can sharpen your wits and your responses. With some games, after all, you really do need to be on the ball, everyone knows that. And, suffice to say that there is such a huge range of games to choose from that everyone will have a selection of their favourite games. Personally, I always enjoyed strategic games and also games that relate to general knowledge.

Of course these days there are also video and online and digital games such as poptropica and the like. This is a whole new ball game and then some. There is so much to do and enjoy when it comes to these new games. The sky, really, seems to be the limit.

Creative outlets

Creativity is a truly amazing thing, for to be sure alright. There are simply so many ways to express your creative impulses, however strong they may be. Personally, I enjoy writing. I love to write poetry and am currently also working on a bigger prose project, details of which are, of course, highly confidential and classified at this stage, I am sure you will understand.

I also love photography and am always keen to get out there with my trusted digital camera to shoot a few fine pics. And, of course technology has made this particular creative avenue a lot more interesting to work with in recent years. You can do so much with your pictures in digital format, the mind boggles with the possibilities. It really is astounding.

But there are other things that you can do. Perhaps you want to engage in some postcard printing and send someone a great personal postcard. After all it is always fun to receive some personal creative token of affection in the actual mail. I think that goes for all of us to be honest.

Much as I like keeping in touch with friends by email, text message or Skype voice call, receiving postcards and letters still remains a thrilling occurrence. It is just so much fun to open my post box and find a personal missive of some description. It can really make my day when that happens. So, you see, you can be creative in lots of different ways.

A new health regime

I am happy to say that recently I have been losing some weight. For a number of years now I have to admit that I was sporting a bit of a beer belly. I suppose this is a common feature of the bodies of men of my years. The battle of the bulge is a hard one as most will agree with me. It is not that easy to shift that weight but recently I have been making some progress. I even started doing some running and walking on a more or less regular basis.

I just walk around the block for about half an hour, speeding up every now and then and just trying slowly to build up my stamina and overall physical shape. I am also thinking about joining a Tai Chi class sometime soon. We will see. It is a bit of a struggle to maintain a healthy diet as well. Since I have been with my current partner even this aspect of my health regime has become a lot better.

I am eating more fruit and really enjoying it. I have grown to appreciate steamed vegetables as well and I often indulge in a nice fresh fruit juice, which is just lovely. Of course, when it comes to diet options there is a huge range to choose from, such as p90x meals, and these can really help.

It is good to feel better and to feel a bit fitter. Onwards we go!

Rain

We were supposed to attend a Shakespeare In The Park performance tonight but it looks like it will be a wash out due to the copious amounts of rain that are being showered on Sydney this weekend. So, it literally looks like we will have to take a rain check. Oh well. Shakespeare's not going anywhere anytime soon, I suppose. The Swan of Avon will float again..

Romantic destinations

Personally, I pity the woman whose man is not a romantic by nature. All women love true romance and for me as a man there is nothing as rewarding as making my fiancée feel loved and cherished by lavishing some romantic attention on her. After all, it is what love is all about.

If you are considering a great place for your wedding then you should consider going with Karisma. They have superb hotel accommodation right on the white sand beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. Let me tell you: It does not get any better than this, that is for sure.

The Karisma hotels offer the best surroundings for

destination weddings or even just a very romantic getaway or vacation. You will not regret it!

Luvvies on parade

Cate Blanchett recently announced to us mere mortals that the arts demand much more public funding. The lofty artist super beings deign to entertain and enlighten us after all and that is much more important than any other possible use of public funds. I see. Last night on Q&A I heard a gaggle of artistic luvvies make the same we-know-what’s-best-for you-morons noises. It’s a funny old world.

Mr Rooney makes good

Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United striker seems to be scoring great goals left, right and centre at the moment. The departure of laughing boy Ronaldo has seen Rooney take centre stage and blossom into the great striker that I always knew he was. It is good to see the erstwhile Everton golden promise make good on the big stage. Go Rooney!

Making a good investment

There are many ways to make your fortune. If you have a particular talent or natural gift you may choose to put it to good use and make a lucrative career out of it. For most of us reality dictates that we need to find more mundane ways of making a living. But, sometimes opportunities do arise and those among us with some business acumen will leap at the chance of making a difference.

For instance, investing in gold bullion is an excellent way to make money or to safeguard a financial asset in these uncertain monetary times. In fact, now is the
time to buy gold bullion as market conditions are very favourable. Check it out for yourself and you will see what I mean.
