Moments in Time

Last weekend I went to Hervey Bay for my Grandmother's 90th Birthday. It was nice to see her, but it's not the way I'd like to be at 90 and looking at photos of her when she was younger...seeing her photo as a young, vibrant mother, she sure didn't envisage her life turning out this way.

On the same weekend, we noticed that it was February, high tide and full moon.  Perfect conditions for turtle hatchlings to be making their way to the water.  So we went to check.  We didn't see hatchlings, but we did see tracks going up the beach towards the trees. We crept closer and saw a large turtle digging to lay her eggs.  We waited until she started laying the eggs and then crept behind her to see what was happening.  What amazing luck.  Half an hour earlier or later and we would have missed the whole thing.

It was such a good reminder that  when we see good conditions for making the most of now, we must make the effort to take advantage of that moment because we never know what the future holds.

Solar panels on the apartment building

Yesterday was the big day. Since about May last year I've been working on a project to have energy efficient measures installed on our apartment building. Doing this through an owners corporation is a different kettle of fish because the project has to meet the approval of 60 owners. Yesterday, it all came together. More of the background story is to come.
