Seems all the exercise my little brother has been doing over the past 40+ years has produced an enlarged heart. We hope that’s all it is and there’s no lasting damage. He’s due for a scan this week and we’re waiting to hear how it went. Hopefully he’ll get through ok.

My sister seems to have joined the international jet set as a ‘groupie grannie’. Since retiring she’s taken to zooming around the UK and Europe following el Divo and has just flown off to the USA see a Ricki Martin concert with tickets she won online! 🙂 We were a bit worried about her because … More The sister.

Well it was also interesting in its own way. 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.

Grrr…. just had a call from the solicitor who says all that will happen tomorrow is that we go to court, the magistrate will ask if we’ve reached a settlement, we’ll say no, and *then* they’ll set a date for a proper hearing. Gawd… I know we wanted to drag this out to get some … More L-Day + ?

L is for Landscaper. Tomorrow we finally get to have this ongoing saga put to bed. Well I’m assuming it will be tomorrow. SInce the last time I wrote anything on this all sorts of things have happened. We’ve been to court three times, well would have except once we forgot and we had to … More L-day tomorrow!

Hard to believe we’ve been married 23 years! Seems like days, but forever at the same time 🙂 Either way it’ll never be long enough. The only time I fel really relaxed and comfortable is around the wife and I’m lost when she’s not here.

The daughter went off to school today with two bulging bags of books. All of them were books she’d borrowed from the school library and neglected to return. In fact she had so many on loan that they told her she wasn’t allowed any more until the outstanding ones were all returned. Luckily, as a … More The Library
