It’s the “N” of the world as we know it.

Missed my list last weekend what with all the cold weather and friends to be met.  So I skipped a week.  “N”s today and there’s nothing earth shattering in my “N” list I don’t think.  I wonder if the longer you blog/journal what’s going through your head, how much of it just starts to seem repetative given that our thoughts, opinions, values, likes and dislikes are quite set by the time we hit our 30s….  meh… idle speculative comment for the day.

List of 10 Things I Like That Start With “N”….

1.   Nice – beautiful place… not keen on pebble beaches though
2.   Notoriety – finding/keeping a bad reputation is hard work
3.   Non-image forming night photography – weird and interesting
4.   Nail polish – it’s a ‘thing’… cheaper than a shoe fetish 🙂
5.   Niceties – chivalry should not be dead people
6.   Nymphaeum – painted by Bougereau, I’m the one on the left
7.   Nurses – they’ve the worst job and are severely undervalued
8.   Nuts – cashews and pecans and pistachios oh my
9.   Night time – because Mr K told me I like it
10. National Parks – many of my best childhood memories are of family holidays hopping from one National Park to the next…. Kakadu… Canarvon… the Warrumbungles… Maria Island… Great Sandy (Fraser Island)… Lake St Claire… Katherine George…. the Kimberlies… South West National Park in Tas… Limmen Bite… Wilson’s Prom… Geike Gorge… Kings Canyon… Mt Warning… Edith Falls… Freycinet… Windjana… Butterfly George… Cradle Mountain… Keep River… Border Ranges… Kata Tjukta… Wolf Creek Crater… Mt Field…. and these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head – the list goes on and on and on and on…

List of 10 Things I Hate or Dislike That Start With “N”

1.   News – it’s all so fucking depressing
2.   Noisy toys – as if kids don’t make enough noise on their own!
3.   No shows – RSVPing and then not showing up…  how rude!
4.   Nightmares – the drug induced ones are real doozies
5.   Noisy cinema patrons – fuck off and go talk at home
6.   National anthem – Australia’s national anthem is a dirge
7.   Nightclubs – must be getting old, can’t stand the noise
8.   Naturopaths – the only ones i’ve seen were raving loonies
9.   Noodles – a lot of people are noodle mad and I’m noodle not
10. Non-smacking parents – It is nigh on impossible to reason with a 3 year old unless of course you happen to have one of those genius type ones that can do your taxes by the time they’re 2 and will have finished university by the time they’re 11.  Raising a small child that will not respond to parental authority is a disaster waiting to happen.
