Google Calendar’s Secret Codewords

Greetings all!

As I was reviewing my upcoming week in Google Calendar, I realized how much I enjoy seeing an event image. One of my favorites - which, alas, I have not yet planned! - is “synchronized swimming”!😊

You can see gym, lunch, dentist, and so much more at a glance on your phone.

To get an image, sometimes you have to put more than one word, and some images look strange or just missing - so this is not very intuitive. For example, “pay bill” makes me think of going to the beach because of the waves and potentially a hot weather warning.

There is no “meeting” or “contact” image but I did find “reach out to” (make sire to include ‘to’).

Also you cannot plan for “work” – is this a sign that work should not be on our calendar? I did discover “interview” and “week planning” are good approximations.

Do you have any useful or unusual Google Calendar codewords? Drop me a line!

Australia’s Fashion: Pied Piper Duck Parade

Greetings all!

Even if you follow fashion, I bet there are some models you have never heard of!

In the past, Australian farmer Brian Harrington dressed the ducks and geese in stylish outfits so they could waddle the catwalk in style at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Each bird modeled 3 outfits: day, evening, and wedding.

Why a duck would need a wedding outfit, or any outfit - with a hat! - raises so many questions but that is a different story! And looking at what I am wearing while writing this post, I have to confess that these duckies are better dressed than me! My only excuse is that I am not attending a wedding today!
