I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Well well… I found a copy of the old header… enlarged it a bit… bit too much maybe… and away we go. Ok it’s a bit fuzzy so I suppose I’ll have to rummage around for the original if I can find it and then we can use that… but for now?? Do I like … More Blast from the past.
I was never over-enamoured with the previous theme… over the weeks I’ve tried a few otehrs… including the Anaconda theme… but this current one which is a ‘3ColumnK2‘ implementation… is far more functional than either the previous one or the Anaconda. Ok I’ll accept that The colour scheme of the original was better suited to … More Theme Change
A few days ago Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham declared the Australian cricket team was the “Dad’s Army” of world cricket… well maybe they *are* a bit long in the tooth… but as always the statistics tell all. End of second days play and the score is Australia 602 for 9… and England 53 for 3. I … More Boofhead Botham
After four years hard slog (for her *and* us) the wife has finally completed the last assignment of her MBA and will submit it this morning. She spent yesterday at home working… both ‘real’ work and polishing up this last piece of coursework. As written up earlier… we also went out for the first time … More Stress relief headaches?
Same old, same old. Another 150+ martyrs die in the cause of freedom ‘George Bush style’ as suicide bombings wrack… or wreck… Sadr City, in Bagdahd. Yet again the forces of freedaom were helpless to prevent the sectarian violence that is tearing the country apart. I still occasionally wonder how many of those millions killed … More Ho-hum another 150 dead in Iraq
Part of the pleasure of the Ashes cricket test series over here is watching and listening to the ‘Barny Army’ that follows the English side around from game to game. The ‘Mexican Wave’ and the bugle calls add to the gentle pleasures for the crowd and relieve what can after all be occasionally… how can … More Fun turns to ashes,
Just returned from an evening of music at the daughters school… and damn good it was too. The eldest one was in both the flute ensemble and a violin ensemble. The violin was a bit squesky… I think there were too many kids in it who’d not practised enough… but there were only four in … More The Hills Grammar School – Music Cafe
Yet again a nursing mother has been subjected to humiliation simply for feeding her child the way nature intended. Admittedly this was in the USA… and we all know what double standards they have in matters of life and death. This time a mother was feeding her baby in an airplane… in a window seat… … More Lactivism… the new fight?
The Phantom over in sunny London was querying how this diet works. I think I confused him when I went on the high carb diet a week or so ago. Basically… fat boy here had ballooned in size over the past years to a huge 160 kilos. I visited a diet specialist in January (2006)… … More Diet history and update.
In case you thought I was exaggerating the pollution the smoke is causing from the Blue Mountain Fires, I took a few snaps from our upper floor window. I don’t think any of them really convey just how bad it is, but they’ll have to do. As limited as it is, I think this one … More Smoke plume fills the sky
