I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Want a good read? How about a *great* read?? Well I picked up ‘People of the book’ by Geraldine Brooks expecting to find the literary equivalent of a chick flick as the wife had read it cover to cover in a few days and highly recommended it… not the best of starts I thought. Still, … More People of the Book
I like finding things like this out in the wide world. No idea why I spot them when other people just pass by… or maybe they do see them and choose to ignore it. Either way, this I saw in the local ‘Lincraft‘ store (Lincraft sell lots of stuff for craft, dressmaking and the like … More Six of one… five of the other.
On the subject of ‘odd holiday photos’, we found this tasty offering on sale at a Parisian sidewalk cafe. Luckily it didn’t taste anywhere near as bad as it looks… ! 😀
I was scrolling through one of the two CD’s we have of photos from our holiday in the UK. Apart from the family photos (some of which which I’ll try to upload to the gallery later) I found this interesting little shot! This display was at the McArthur Glen, Designer Outlet outside Bridgend. The wife … More Trannies rule in South Wales?
The Powerball jackpot which eventually accumulated to AU$58,000,000 has been won… by a single person… but sadly *not* by anyone in New South Wales so it looks as if the wife still has to go to work today. Still, there’s always next week to look forward to. 🙂
Revisiting and listening to a lot of the Floyd tracks over the past few weeks reminded me the film of “The Wall” existed so I sat around for a while at the computer yesterday watching it. Whilst nominally a Pink Floyd production, other than some credit for musical collaboration, it is totally credited to Roger … More Pink Floyd, "The Wall" revisited.
As usual when having a mid-morning cuppa, I was perusing the online version of one of the local rags. In this case it was the Sydney Morning Herald and saw for the first time a section at the bottom right of the page entitled’ Videos’. Nothing much being in the news I went to have … More Sexperts!
I’m still doing the ‘emailcash‘ thing and it all seems to be working out ok. For those that don’t know, emailcash is an online ‘rewards’ program specifically for Australians. They have nearly a million members now and it’s still growing. Basically you buy things online from selected retailers and receive ‘points’ for each dollar you … More Emailcash doing well.
Sitting here this morning by meself. Wife gone to work, kids gone to school and I’m having five minutes before I start work. I usually listen to the radio around this time of day… well it’s on most of the day actually but this morning I’ve been playing some of the music I’ve got on … More Blowing in the wind.
Yet another iconic figure, in the shape of Bo Diddley has passed through the veil to the great gig in the sky. Bo, who was 79 died yesterday of heart failure. He had both a stroke and a heart attack last year and had been in poor health since. Bo was *the* founding father of … More Vale Bo Diddley
