Gold coins

There are obviously many people out there who have hobbies and enjoy spending their valuable free time on them. Other people have passions they cannot do without. These leisurely pastimes or spare time pursuits can be whatever you like. Some like collecting postal stamps, some go for long hikes in the country, yet others love reading and writing and so on and so forth.

But a hobby or personal interest can sometimes be quite lucrative as well. For instance, if you are into buying and selling gold coins you could really be on to something good. Experts in rare coins such as for example Monaco can present you opportunities that are available for you on the rare coin market right now. This could be well worth looking into and it may well be very profitable as well.

Music

Tomorrow, I will be joining a few friends at the nearby Birchgrove Acoustic music festival. Hopefully, the weather gods will be on our side. It happens to be held in a really nice little park by the harbour foreshore and the views are truly amazing. I’m looking forward to spending some time with my mates and enjoying the music offerings.

Wanderlust

I'm living in a huge country and I can't wait to get out of the city and go travelling and seeing some of the wonderful places. I'd love to go up to the Top End and visit the Kakadu National Park. And, of course, I'd like to go back to the far north of Queensland as well. And, the Pacific islands keep calling me as well. A hopeless romantic I'm not impervious to the island idyll idea. Call me old fashioned. Go on!

Options trading

Money is on most people’s mind these days what with the news constantly telling us how bad the economic outlook is and how it is going to take a while to get out of the much publicised global down turn. Of course, it does not quite have to be all that bad. In fact it is quite often possible to earn good money with for instance investments or stock options trading even when the wider economy is not doing particularly well.

Have a look at the website for PowerOptions where you will find a veritable treasure trove of information on stock options and trading. I have recently started trading in stock options and so far it is going rather well.

It is quite interesting to keep track of my earnings and I have found lots of useful information on PowerOptions. Check it out.

Ostara

As so we face Easter and the Resurrection of our Saviour. Although, strictly speaking I am not practising this time of year does mean a lot to me. Somehow it makes more of an impact than Christmas. I think I’ll try to go to Church at some point over the weekend but knowing me that may very well not happen after all either.

Bar food

Went for a meal last night in a local pub. I had the steak special, surprise, surprise, and my dinner companion opted for the bangers and mash. Behind the bar were the two nice girls and a new star in town, a young Scottish bloke with a winning smile who seemed to be highly appreciated by the two girls. It was a fun night but unfortunately there was no live music yesterday evening. Oh well..

A dream vacation

Is there anyting better than going somewhere wonderfully romantic for your vacation? Usually, you will want any vacation to be a wonderful one but more importantly now you can stay in a truly fabulous Adults Only Hotelwhich makes your vacation of a lifetime just right, I think you will agree. There are many destinations to choose from when considering where to go for your vacation.

You should certainly check out the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya. You see, the word Karisma comes from the Greek and means ‘divine favour’. Karisma hotels is a group of divinely favoured properties located on stunning white sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. This is the ultimate destination for a gloriously romantic vacation. This is a silver style vacation option that is certain to impress. Especially, since there is a wonderful emphasis on gourmet-style food choices. Go for it!

Books

Reading. Now I'm living the life of a single man again I have started to do more reading and I have to say I am really enjoying it. There's nothing quite like settling down to read for a few hours on end in a book you just know you are going to enjoy. What a pleasure for the senses. It engages the whole spectrum of human emotions and triggers thoughts that you would not have had otherwise. I've just put up a few book shelves and there is extra capacity, enabling me to buy some more volumes. Hooray!

Sports overkill

As if there wasn't enough sports on Aussie television we will have a 24-hour free-to-air sports channel tomorrow. All the sports you can stomach and then some more. And just when you get enough of all the sports, you get some more sports. Oh well..as long as they include some proper football, I don't mind.

Beauty schools in Michigan

Of course, it is evident that education is an important issue these days and for young people looking for a college or other type of training it is not always easy to find the right path that is suitable for their situation. There are all sorts of people and not every kind of training or schooling will be the right choice. Of course, there is a multitude of schools and colleges to choose from and that in itself, that huge choice of options, is not always a great help.

I want to let you know about these michigan cosmetology schools that I have heard about. They are Regency beauty schools and they just happen to be the fastest growing beauty school in the land. They have expanded from a mere two Minnesota schools in 2002 to nearly thirty campuses in a number of states and it looks like they will keep growing in the future, that much seems certain.

Poem to a friend

I sent a poem I had written to a friend in the UK. The poem was about my feelings about Bristol and leaving that part of my life behind. It's emotional and whimsical and aims to evoke the 'feel' of Bristol, that funny old town in England. I got some good feedback from her and that means something to me as she is quite a culture-vulture as the French say..

Funny stuff

There are lots of British comedians who appear here in Australia. Before long I am hoping to catch a few of them doing their stand-up. I had meant to see Dylan Moran but I have other engagements that weekend, unfortunately. There is still Ross Noble in June and I am hoping to get someone to go with me. I have seen Mr Noble in Bristol and he was very, very good. Utterly entertaining in his off-beat way.
