Well not all of us… just the older daughter. And not tomorrow… but she *is* going to the zoo. In fact she’s going to do a ‘sleepover’ in aid of charity organised by the local Girl Guides. She’s been before… a couple of years ago and had a great time. The kids sleep out under … More We're all going to the Zoo tomorrow.

The kids are both female. One is ten the other 6… and they fight like cat and dog… except the cat and the dog seem to get along better and with less fighting!. I seem to spend my entire life shouting at them either to stop fighting, or for *them* to stop shouting at each … More Kids – what *do* you do?

Again and again the papers report cases where kids in need have not received the help they desperately … More DoCS – really so bad?

In three weeks (22nd August) the three men convicted of organising and carrying out the Bali bombings that killed 88 Australians (amonst many others) will be taken to a beach at dawn, blindfolded and shot dead. I’m not sure this is desirable in the slightest. Even leaving out my ongoing abhorrence of a death penalty, … More Bali bombers to die soon.

Had sugestions a while back that I was concentrating too much on the money making activity and not enough on the old fashioned rambling I used to do. Well I’ve finally updated the money making blog I called “Mr Bloggie’s Bloggie” so nearly all of that has moved out leaving me with room to witter … More More chat less money
