BACK ON TRACK - at long last

How easy it is to SLIP off the track - and how hard it is to get back on again. So little energy for the slip, so much energy needed to get back to where I was.
But I've made it! It's Monday, and I'm doing my Monday posting!

ITEMS for MONDAY - October 11 2010

SERVIETTE
Visit to Kilkenny Design Centre for my daughter's china (20th) wedding anniversary. Included green bottle-top and lid from ice-cream tub - Cathabawn Vanilla Madagascar
NOTECARDS
Notes from Tony to missionaries who stayed with us during parish Retreat
NEWSLETTER
From St Peter's Church in Hove. Many dates, but no year included. using an online resource, I am guessing that it was 2009, though I don't remember being there, although it could be Tony who contributed this item to the collection - actually yes, I see his name in tiny writing on the top.
SMALL PLASTIC BAG
Contains remains of VISA card, cut up when replacement was provided. Perhaps when I had my purse lost/stolen.
NOTE 1
Actually this is a SERVIETTE collected when I had lunch in Tallaght Hospital when two appointments occurred on the same day.
NEWSPAPER
Copy of the Irish Times, November 26 2008. If you look at the photo, you will see me in the lower right, wearing a pink hat during the silent performance in which we invited the minister for education to 'get the point' as we pointed at him throughout his visit to the college to open the new gallery. This image and a slight conversation can be found on the page of ARCHISEEK by going to this page and searching for the word 'granny'.
NOTE 2
Think this note is from college, but have no idea what INFB stands for
NOTE 3
my friend's address
NOTE 4
Note from the missionaries to Tony
STRIP
This strip refers to the journey along Camino (see my blog here). This was how we kept track of the highs and lows of the terrain.
CARDBOARD BOX
Once contained tube of DEEP HEAT - a fast-acting cream for muscular pain. I had to learn not to apply too much, and particularly not to rub it in hard, as this could make it burn the skin.
PHONE NUMBERS
Media dept NCAD 2007-10
RIDDLE
From a Christmas cracker. It asks: What do you get if you cross a stereo with a refrigerator? Answer: Cool music.
I heard a another good one yesterday. Why did the one handed man cross the road? Answer: To get to the second-hand shop.
NET
this net once held a 'fat-ball' of bird feed and hung on the obelisk which supports the pink Dorothy Perkins, the same as used to grow over the arch in my grandmother's garden in Ferguson Road.
LONG LIST
This is a very long list over 136 items. Not sure if it was all the one day, or over a few days, but it indicates that I was struggling with pre-Christmas pressures, though there is a lot about art in the items also.
BUSINESS CARD
this green business is one of the first cards I made for myself. The domain name 'indigo', dates back to the late 1990's I believe. It is certainly pre-2002 as there is no mobile phone-number.
MEMBERSHIP CARD
2007-2008 membership card for the Institute of Transactional Analysis. I am no longer a very active member, but I do like to support the organization each year.
