[Just a note....I've set up a comment system for most of the stuff on my site so if you want to comment on something in a few beers, for example, click the title of the story and at the bottom of the new page is a comment box.]

Well what can I say. Welcome to my messy site where I am trying to bring together everything else I have done. You will have access from here to several different types of information that relate to my hobbies and ventures in life. I really like to have a few beers with my husband of an evening and of course when I do my mind starts going in several different directions much like this website.

It all started with Goat Dairying which was how I earned my living from 1993 until 2005. I started this site so I could share the knowledge I had painfully gained and which I knew I would forget once I sold my goats.

During my goat days I became a computerholic in my spare time but I did not have the money to be able to afford software and that's when I discovered the world of Free Programmes. There is a good free programme out there to do just about anything you want. I have provided some of the most useful but you can find a whole lot more at Snapfiles I intend to keep adding new ones as I find them.

a few beers is just a place for me to share my laughs and grumbles. Nothing spectacular but I feel good after writing things sometimes.

Friends and family are always asking me how to do stuff on a computer so I decided to share it with them all at once. I have started a new section for this website called FAQs which will tell you many hints, tips and How Tos. It'd be really great if you'd look here before ringing or emailing me guys :)

In 2005 after my goats went I started a Reef tank. I have sunk a large amount of money into it's beginnings but now, 2 years further on, I am finding it's just not worth it. My coral are now all dying and it is far too expensive and time consuming to maintain. I started the tank gallery and journal so I could show my friends at Reefing The Australian Way.

Hey I mustn't leave out the Stationery for Outlook Express because that is how I learnt to make web pages from scratch. Free stationery you can use to make your emails fun. It is many years since I made these but I see a lot still get downloaded.

Let's see......what else have we got here? Ahh yes, the Fun part . This section just consists of some fun stuff I have found during my travels round the net. Timewasters but some are rather beautiful. And the Links! In there you will find links to some of the places I have found and enjoyed on the net. Some are about aquariums, some are about computers but many are just fun, interesting or entertaining places to go when you're bored. Enjoy!

All the photos at the top of the pages are my own. If you'd like to see them all you can find them at my personal pics under header_pics. Taken mostly around our house yard although the lovely ocean one was taken by my son when we went to Vanuatu. The King parrots and Rainbow Lorikeets visit most days and one of those lovely male King parrots (green with red head and neck) will eat out of our hand. I try not to feed them too much as I don't want them to become dependant on us but we are in the midst of a very severe drought right now and I'm not sure what their food supply is like.
