georg jensen









I was given a pair of Georg Jensen cufflinks many years ago as a going away gift when  leaving a job to transfer interstate.
The cufflinks were lovely enough (and quite expensive it turns out) bought with good intention - they knew my love of cuff links, and they knew cufflinks would be easy to relocate interstate.
They were not my style.
I returned the cufflinks  to the George Jensen store in Brisbane, in their original packaging, and explained the situation to the shop assistant who who was happy to exchange without a receipt.  I entered the store with just a small box in my hands and, following a small top up of my own money, left with many bags containing  a beautiful range of water jugs, creamers, etc and a beautiful stainless steel bowl.
I left feeling quite the adult.
Since then, George Jensen has been given as wedding gifts, gifts for friends celebrating significant birthdays, and of course treats for little old me.
I can fully recommend a visit and a purchase.

A Great Guide to Greatness







I have recently completed reading 'The Greatness Guide' - one of the books penned by Robin Sharma.Tomorrow I intend heading out to buy "The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari'.
I love to read when I go to bed, but i cant keep my eyes open for long, so The Greatness Guide with its short, sharp, no longer than 3 or 4 page chapters are perfect for me.
I think that the following chapter is the one I can relate to the most. I have lived both extremes and can see the benefits of aiming high and the futility of living humbly.
I can say however that when i first moved to Brisbane and was so broke i had to cut down on food and beer, my and have never been flatter.
I hope this chapter inspires you to read a bit more of Mr Sharma.
