Spring is here

The Spring is definitely here. Yesterday, after a few days of drizzle and for/clouds, the temperature was quite high. It made me think that soon the t-shirts will be required as it is getting too warm. And the Sun was strong enough to give a hint of what's ahead in the warm season.
I have to say I'm hardly waiting to get rid of the heater - that saves life during winter, as the house has a poor insulation. Well, *have* is a compliment, really. The house has no insulation whatsoever is more likely description.
Today the forecast is 20 degrees. This is more like it. Goodbye Winter!

Oh, yes, and the days are getting longer. It is still a daylight and the orange colors of the Sun are visible after I'm done with work. Feels much better.

MaxMagnus Comics!

Wohoo! I finally found the MaxMagnus comics series. It's an old series I enjoyed very much but was never able to complete the whole series. I was unable to find any traces of it in years. This is great!

Good Fortune

Fortune goes round, I guess, and what goes up must come down. And vice versa. It is interesting to witness how things change, whether you do something about it or not. I have been quite passive in the past year or so and so many things have happened, one would not believe it. While, during the past years, I've been quite proactive and, at the end, I had a feeling that no matter I do there are only so many things I can actually influence.
Anyway, things are moving for the better at the moment and I have a wonderful year in front of me without any perceived worries along the way. Let's see what more life has to bring.

Creating a Will in Australia

I'm looking how to create a will. It seems to be relatively simple process for simple cases like mine. In brief

A Valid Will is one that is able to be put
into effect and will be accepted by a court of law. To be Valid The
Willmaker/Testator must be mentally competent and,your Will must be

1. In writing,

2. Signed at the bottom by the testator (you) and

3. Witnessed by at least two people. The testator and the witnesses must all be present when the will is signed.

Superannuation, while may be subject to the will, may not necessarily be so. Usually, a superannuation fund will have a form you need to submit to make a death benefit nomination. The details for VicSuper are here.

Jakarta

Yesterday I sent some birthday wishes to a friend and she asked me to come visit her sometimes. She currently lives and works in Jakarta, Indonesia. For a day, daydreaming about a trip to Indonesia was something I nurtured in between the hectic tasks I performed at work. And, today, the news about bombing is all over the news.
Still, thinking about it, that’s not a reason that would stop me from going have I decided to do so.

No to Bottled Water?

An initiative is starting up in Australia to ban bottled water.

The voluntary ban has been triggered by concerns about the carbon
footprint associated with bottling and transporting the water.

This is a reasonable thing as selling water is absurd. On the other hand, the numbers in bottled water demand are enormous and show that there is a high demand out there.
