Just found this on FLICKR, I LOVE IT! What a great idea. Lester Public Library has the right idea, not everyone wants to read what is coming soon on our website, this would be great in the foyer of the library!

Mamma Mia

No way SYTYCD has finished what will I do with My Sunday/Monday nights ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Congrats Talia, so happy she won!!

'And what do you think is your ultimate goal? 'I should think a nice
little dance in heaven.'

UNKNOWN Dancer stuck down by polio in 1953

SYTYCD Final tonight



Go Talia and Amy!! I'd really like Talia to win as she is the first classical dancer on the Australian or American version to actually be any good at all of the other styles. The other ballerinas usually don't take to the hip hop etc. AND because ballerinas have the best technique then that makes her amazing. I actually prefer contemporary dance to classical so I LUV Amy, so I would be happy if either of them won, as long as it is not Charlie or Ben=we don't need another Jack representing us in America. Im sure NONE of you are really that interested haha. If you are prove me wrong and make a comment:)

Ephesus Library

Built in 117AD, the library was renovated in 1910, and the statues I took photos of are copies of the originals that are now in a museum.

See more information below:




I was HYSTERICALLY excited when I got there, being a librarian, and everyone else thought I was crazy as I ran around taking endless photos as I always do. It was so beautiful, and the oldest standing library (even though its been renovated) I will ever see.


So here is a photo of me outside the library, I didn't want to add it to FLICKR as the composition isn't very good so its just between us wink wink.


Celsus Library, Ephesus, Turkey

I hope this is going to my blog and not a blog on Flickr!!!
It has taken me ages but I've added 5 of my photos on Flickr, what an adventure!! I'm so into it now, and would love to add more of my photos. I'll stop talking now in case this doesn't go to my blog! If it does there are a set of 5 photos I took in September 1998 in Ephesus Turkey at the Celsus Library, (named Celsus after Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus). More about the history of the library in my next post stay tuned...

You should be dancing

Well I've added my first photo! Hope you like it, I don't have many photos of me dancing from that era because not many people had cameras. I'm sure we did but we just didn't take many photos....
You will notice I have purposely cut off my arms, I don't look very graceful. My dad described me in my first ballet concert as an 'elephant'. I like to think I'm a disco elephant: no technique but lots of enthusiasm!! haha. All I was worried about was looking good for the photo, not keeping my leg straight or pointing my toes, nothing much has changed:)
So I have a heap of quotes I want to add, and I noticed on some other blogs they had a big box around their favourite quote can somebody help me with that? Is anybody out there?

So you think you can dance?

Oh my god did anyone catch last nights show? I thought it was supposed to be the final, but we have to wait another week.
Go Tahlia and Amy! Would love a girl to win this time and Tahlia is from the Queensland Ballet so she is a local girl, and she is a beautiful dancer as is Amy...
