Hellooo possums!

This is my first post for blogtember…

Day 1 – Introduce yourself however you like!

Well hello new readers (and old ones. I still love you), thanks for dropping by my blog.

My name is Caroline (aka Nightwolf) and this is one one my many ‘homes’ on the www.

A little about me. Tasmanian (that’s the island state at the bottom of Australia). Married. Mum to 2 gorgeous girls, Miss K who is 6, and Miss A who has recently turned 2. We have 2 cats and 2 chickens. I’ve been blogging since 2003 (back before it was cool hahaha).

I am passionate photographer which works well cause I love scrapbooking too. If you’re interested you can check out some of my photos over on Flickr and my scrapbooking at Nightwolf Scraps.

I recently wrote a post that was 38 things about me at 38, so check it out if you want to know more. I’m also a bit of a geek/nerd/whatever. I love Doctor Who, Star Wars and play Dungeons & Dragons.

So say g’day and let me know where your from  🙂

Monday Musing

Why are our politicians payed so damn much? And why do they need all the perks they get while in office and after?

It really irks me that they can come out and say oh lets cut this, let’s cut that, we need to save money (but support big business and screw over the little people – they don’t say this but it usually happens). I would (probably) vote for the one pollie with the balls to stand up and say ‘hey why don’t we cut or freeze our wages, let’s get rid of some of our perks. Let’s actually help the people who need our help. Let’s tax those who can afford it. When we retire we should go on the same pension as everyone else or fund our own retirement with super we build up while in office.’

I know I’m dreaming but t would be nice
