All work and no play...

Makes Jack a dull boy...

That saying suggests that someone who concentrates on work (or study) all the time, risks becoming a very boring person; and a very bored person.

There are plenty of things going on in the community that are worth checking out. Bring a bit of variety into your life, meet new people, and maybe learn something different.

Here are some current possibilities:

• If you’re interested in shipwrecks, there’s a display at the South Australian Maritime Museum. There are lots of other things to see there as well and it’s just up the new expressway at Port Adelaide.
• For those with skills in art or photography and an interest in the environment,there’s the Wetland Care National Art competition. There are wetlands just up the road at St Kilda, so get out your camera or your sketchpad and head up there.
  
• The Skeptics National Convention is being held at the Norwood Town Hall 11-12 October. This will be a gathering of people who think critically about the claims people make and challenge many of those claims.
  
  
• If you haven’t yet visited the Clare Valley, north of Adelaide, this weekend might be a good time to do it, with the Valley of the Vines Festival on 12 October.
  
  
• It’s also Sleep Disorder Week, so you may choose to do a little more sleeping this week!
