Thing about not updating the blog too often is that I miss writing about things that are important to me. One of the most recent events to have upset me was the untimely and unexpected death of Steve Irwin. The wife and I were latecomers to Steve’s shows and as such perhaps I wasn’t best … More Vale Steve Irwin

Yet again I’ve forgotten to write up the doings in the blog… I actaully forget it’s here often as not. Anyway – I’ve decided yet again I don’t like the theme… this time it’s just *too* damn simple so I’m looking round for another one… again… 🙂

Had a card from friends in London. Seems they’re in Greece enjoying an expensive, if pale by comparison, imitation of the wonderful weather we get here all year round for free… ha…!! Seems Steve just bought a share in some Nigerian Bank scam or similar… as far as I could work out he’s expecting three … More The friends

Spurious anniversary maybe but Elvis died on August the 16th… I never liked him.

We arrived in court, and before the case was heard we had a short discussion with the paralegal who told us (again) all that was going to happen was that a date would be set for the hearing and that we’d probably win that as well … More So – the landscaper…

The first hailstorm of the season arrived yesterday for some parts of Sydney. Luckily for us we only caught the edges of it and the storm gathered force as it moved towards the City. No damage luckily, just weird scenes (for Sydney) of hail ankle deep on the Anzac Bridge looking for all the world … More Hail, hail springs almost here.

Not written for a few days but I thought I’d drop in a note to say it’s pouring… in fact there’s a storm out there. Nice 🙂 Have to go ge the kids in a few mins… but when I come back I need to update this with the story of the court case, the … More Pouring here.
