I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Our wonderful state government has finally allocated $650,000,000 for the construction of a rail line through Rouse Hill. Not sure where it’s coming from… or even where it’s going to. But where ever it’s coming and going… it’s coming err… and growing! The figures are interesting. Seems it’ll cost almost as much to buy the … More Hey – the railway is coming!
If people from Poland are called ‘Poles’… why are people from Holland called Dutch and not ‘Holes’??
Sounds like the cue for a song! “I was walking thru the shops one day In the merry, merry month of July… “ Nah… doesn’t scan. Anyway, I *was* walking through some supermarket or other a few days ago and saw they had frozen turkeys on sale… leftover from Xmas probably… so I grabbed it … More I was walking thru the shops one day…
Yesterday… I did next to nothing. In fact it was another quiet sort of day. Went for a walk with kids and dogs, kids rode bikes, dogs didn’t. We took back to Aldi the wireless booster I’d bought a month or so ago. It wasn’t suitable for the router I have but I’d mislaid the … More Yesterday you did what?
Changing tack slightly, while we were at the station this morning (too damn cold to walk to the bus I reckon) I was watching something we see fairly often. Some mornings, not all, a little turquoise car arrives. It contains a boy and girl. The car stops *on* the main footpath leading to the station … More Selfish society
Still driving the wife to the rail station. Temperatures still below freezing, -1ºC this morning, and I’ve been wandering around during the day with kids and dogs so she feels I’m getting *some* exercise… even if not really enough. Also of course this is probably the busiest few weeks of her year with masses of … More Just a few 'odds'.
They’ve spent the past few weeks of their holidays playing games online. The games are supposed to expire after an hour but if you leave the connection open you can play them for house apparently. So of course… they’ve left them open. Naturally leaving them open uses bandwidth as the servers keep checking they are … More Flaming kids!
Sorry for all the to’ing and fro’ing. I like being online… and I like using the blog as a reminder of what’s happening in the world. But I’m not sure now that I can carry on even writing in here. Why? Well the release of ‘spoliers’ for the Harry Potter series is reaching epidemic proportions. … More No Harry Potter spoilers!!
No word yet on whether this girl has been executed by Saudi Arabia or if her life has been spared. The case which highlights the lack of justice in the Saudi Arabian Shariah justice system is one being watched closely by Amnesty Internationals and human rights organisations around the world. It’s also being closely monitored … More Rizana Nafeek
Still dreaming of course. Yes the weather has ‘improved’ slightly but it’s still not warm. The car gauge registered 4ºC this morning so it is a lot better than yesterday, even *if* this has been the coldest July since 1986. We managed to get out for a walk yesterday afternoon for the first time in … More Those heady days of summer
