After a hectic term of running webinars instead of face-to-face conferences for work (thank you Covid-19&#8230;not), I have finally returned to my TAFE course, started in a fit of enthusiasm at the beginning of this roller coaster that is 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of lockdown, I was full of enthusiasm. &#8220;Great!&#8221;, I thought. As the kids before and after school activities were successively cancelled. &#8220;More family time! Time to do all those projects&#8230;&#8221;. Flash forward to six months later. The crochet and knitting projects did get completed (but not subsequent ideals of being a super knitter), but the enthusiasm of finishing a TAFE course in the 12 weeks it suggested was hijacked by the realities of working even longer hours while work adjusted to the &#8220;new normal&#8221;. So much for the spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I am determined. If I start something I try to finish it. So I have one month to finish the last quarter of the last assignment. Come on girl! In my typical style however, instead of just starting another Facebook page, I have decided to try something that I am completely new at&#8230;.blogging. Never done it, probably never will write again, but the purpose of this is to learn isn&#8217;t it? So&#8230;here goes nothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, a question&#8230;why is it that every first post or every first line of code written ever has to say &#8220;Hello World&#8221; &#8211; why can&#8217;t it say something imaginative&#8230;like&#8230;&#8221;purple donkey&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/thinksandthoughtbubbles.mckayfamily.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PurpleDonkey-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well here we are.
