Can’t find a decent pair of walking boots that’s a reasonable price so make do with buying trainers andwearing them until they fall apart at the seams… which isn’t long usually. The latest pair to be ruined are labelled by Mizumo ‘Wave Creation’ so are probably some generic brand… either way whilst I’ve never heard … More These boots were made for walking.

The littlies went to a Girl Guides church service today… it’s ‘Thinking Day’ today and the anniversary of the beginning of Scouting/Guiding so there was a parade… I think 😀 Anyway, we drove up Windsor Road on the way and as we drove I saw a small dog on the left resolutely walking along the … More Yet another dog day…

Readers will… or might… recall that last year my folks tried to extend their stay for three months but my other got ‘knocked back’ by DIMAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship). The old man got through… but the old lady *didn’t*… so they left a little earlier than they’d have liked. This year the strangest … More Golden oldies

Lord that site also takes a load of time!The bandwidth took a beating last month so I upped it… and then got an ‘Exceeded bandwidth limit” again yesterday. So I checked… and realised with some ebarrassment that I’d been reading the account specs wrongl;y… I have *75* Gigabytes of bandwidth to play with… so raised … More Australian Opinion

I’ve spent ages over the last two days rushing around doing sfa which sort of ate into my time for posting. Still… the house is a damn sight cleaner at least… even managed to vac and wash the floor… amazing… I’d forgotten it was brown tile and wasn’t actually *supposed* to be hairy!! 🙂

We have two dogs… an insane black Labrador called Snoopy (a.k.a. Stupid), and an old Australian Blue Heeler (Cattle dog) called Kit. Snoopy is only a few years old… 4 I think… can’t be sure as he was huge when we got him. Kit on the other hand is nearly 12 years old… or in … More Dog days.

As many of you will have been bored to tears hearing… I’m on yet another diet. Doing ok so far… but with a long way to go. One of my problems has been getting an attack of the munchies around the 5:00 p.m. or so… partly because it’s around then I’m getting dinner ready so … More So what's with the soup?

It’s always surprising when time flies by quickly. It really doesn’t seem like 4 days since I last updated the blog.It’s not as if a lot has happened either. Friday I was still recovering from walking so far on Wednesday… but took the oldies for their medicals anyway. Talking of which… we were in chaos … More Lordy… days have gone by!

Wandered around today carrying a 5 kilo bag of spuds in the backpack… not a good idea… walked several kilometres in 30 degree temperatures… and now my legs are so stiff I can’t type! Bearing in mind I’ve lost almost 20 kilos you’d think it might have been fairly easy putting 5 back on… but … More Diet… exercise… ewww.

Channel Seven unearthed a friend of Mercedes Corby (Schapelle’s sister) who was willing to ‘tell all’ in a paid interview. I missed the first of the two programmes and I almost wish I’d missed the second. There was very little of value in it, very little relating directly to Schappelle and her fight for freedom, … More Jody Power vs Schapelle Corby.
