I’m back on about Bindi Irwin again 🙂 She’s had an interview (Daddy wouldn’t want me to cry) published in which she describes approaching Xmas without her dad, Crocodile Hunter, Steve. She’s just another little kid who’s life has been damaged by tragedy in a world where untold millions suffer equal and even worse traumas … More Gawd… another tear jerker.

Tiger Airways are in hot water. Despite having written permission from the company to take their disabled daughter on a flight, she was refused permission to board! to read the level of humiliation the girl received, read the news story. The family has now lost around $15,000 in fares and accomodation costs and their holiday … More Tiger Airways – disabled unfriendly.

Hate them or loathe them… you just can’t like them. So as mentioned as while ago… we’re *all* off for a bit of torture. I know I need fillings but I hope he’s just do an asessment and get me back after Xmas. If we can postpone the awful day when the drill bites for … More Dentists… yuck.

So we’re halfway through the lighting up process. I’m very slowly getting to the stage of achieving my real aim… making the house visible from space!

Luckily I still have two packing cases full of lights to … More Almost there, we're almost there…

Spent half the day today trying to put up Xmas lights… in 35ºC tempoeratures and high humidity. I wonder sometimes just why I’m so stupid. Still… have I finished? Hell no. I have a load more to do. Trouble is I can’t find the power boards… or extension leads… or spare bulbs. Gee I’m good … More Ho, ho, home…

Bearing in mind her outspoken views on a wide range of other topics, I think we can expect a tirade of cricisicm of the Australian (and other) Moslems, Lebanese, Chinese, Vietnamese… and any other ‘ese’ … More Pauline a pollie again?

I’ve had next to no time to do much of anything for the past few days. I have the kids nagging me to get Chrissie Decos up and flooding the garden with lights 🙂 Also the old folk are here so *they* need things doing. Add to that I’m *still* trying to clean up the … More It's a bizzy, bizzy time

It appears the demon Rumsfeld was hiding a few home truths from the prezzie, one of which is that their military expedition to Iraq is unwinnable… well d’uh!! It was clear from the start that military action in Iraq was a loser simply because it was *not* supported by the UN. The entire debacle was … More Oh my oh my!

The oldies are here… just. They arrived early Monday morning and of course we were there to meet them… just. We arrived well before the flight landed and in time to sit quietly drinking coffee before they disembarked. So we sat… looked at the arrivals board… and realised we had *no* idea which flight they … More It's a wonderful life.
