Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.

Hi there,

Rather Urgent.

Looking for someone with scaffolding to help put plywood around
windows to prevent rain water from coming in the bedroom, as window
has broken.

If the firebrigade can do this that would be great too.

Scaffolding would be about 4 metre high or so.

Someone who can get the plywood from Bunnings or tell me which size it should be.

Until a decision is found on how to deal with this.

Thanks for contacting me here or on 0225055871.

Very appreciated.

All the best.

Hi neighbours
I'm running another Sunday afternoon workshop soon:

"Posture and Breathing (Improve both at once !)"
Sunday Afternoon 7th May 1.30pm - 4.30pm

Are you sitting for long hours ?
Would you like to improve your posture (but not sure how ) ?
Do you breathe freely, without tension ?

An easy, natural upright posture enables you to breathe better. Conversely, freeing your breathing will help to improve your posture.

Learn to free habitual patterns of posture and breathing with
Awareness through Movement lessons® (Feldenkrais Method® ).
Are you curious about the Feldenkrais Method ? This would be a great introduction.
