Teacher Aides: Super-workmates

I hear a lot of people grumble and bitch

 about the people they work with.

This makes me feel sad for them,

and all the more appreciative of what I have.

There is one person in particular 

who enables my workplace

 to function smoothly and happily.

Maybe you are lucky enough

 to have one of those people in your work place?

 They are always happy.

They will always to do what ever is needed.

They find the time for everyone.

They are supportive.

They are generous and graceful.

My super-workmate and friend

is the art assistant / teacher aide at our college.

She works tirelessly and is always positive.

Teacher aides are the backbone of our schools

and so often unrecognised for their efforts.

I love our chats about creativity, family.. whatever!

So today I made her a little thank-you gift.

A metrocard wallet with one of her favourite singers-Pink.

Its not much but I hope it gives her a smile.

Vintage and Future Cars

Do you know about Cars?

Of course not!

Some people have love affairs

 with their 4 wheeled polluters.

 Not me- I really couldn't give a clutch.

Last weekend, however, we went to the Lifeline Bookfest and this little 1963 book caused my differential assembly to spin round altogether.

Fiat Bambino

I try not have regrets,

 but in my 20s I passed up  the opportunity

 to buy a little red Fiat Bambino.

Idiot!

I never got to put a scarf around my head and pretend I was  in driving to a cocktail party in Italy (sigh)

Oh and look at that Combie

(this page is destined to become a travel wallet)

So if I slam into reverse,

maybe I should reevaluate and admit 

I love the whole design element of automobiles.

Also, they do get me from A to B (albeit at a crawl in Brissy)

Hope to catch you soon in the anti-gravity design blazing down Coronation Drive.
