I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Odd that the mother of little Shannon Matthews should be arrested for ‘perverting the course of justice’. Really makes you wonder what she did! All sorts of suppositions could be correct… or wildly off the mark. My favourite was that the ‘kidnap’ was a complete fake from go to whoa and that they did it … More Interesting!
While the ex-family were here a few weeks ago the cat brought in a mouse… alive of course. She proceeded to drop it to the floor and then batted it around a bit, but before I could stop her or catch the thing, the mouse made its escape by breaking the world record for the … More I hates meeces to pieces!
Today we have the Australian cherry sponge cake, otherwise known as ‘the eldest daughter’. As I approached the school to drop off the youngest my phone rings. It’s the eldest daughter whose classes were supposed to start 15 minutes earlier. She ‘needs to talk to someone’. Ok… I’m at the school so I drive round … More Fruitcakes of the world
Perhaps this might be called the ‘toil of travel’ but I think what I wrote will cover the essential point that for some people just getting to work is a hard task in itself without the effort involved of then carrying out their duties. Take the wife for example. This morning as is now usual … More The travellers travails.
We’ve now finally sorted daylight saving out and the clocks should be telling us the correct time for the next few months… unless the NSW government decided again (in their wisdom) to adjust the start and finish times. Luckily for is the clocks went back… we sat and watched the whole of the final Prime … More Clocks went back.
Copied these first few lines from the other blog… couldn’t be bothered with a total rewrite, so I *did* get to sit in the ice rink with the daughter from 6:00 a.m. ’til 8:00 a.m. freezing my butt off and blowing my nose every few seconds because of my cold… but no… I didn’t get … More Didn't get to the gym today!
Managed to walk the dogs for an hour this morning *and* get to the gym for another hour… this time on the treadmill. The nose is still running but I can’t walk fast enough to keep up so spend half my time sniffing, the other half blowing. Yuk. In between exercising sessions and sniffs, I … More Onward… ever onward!
Despite the days still being sunny and warm, winter is clearly starting to announce it’s imminent arrival. This morning the car thermometer registered only 6ºC and even inside the house the air conditioning was churning away blasting hot air over us. Outside, other than the notable absence of the ‘wildlife’ we’ve been used to all … More Winter on the way?
Today I lost my sunglasses. I *know* I had them earlier because I was wearing them to drive to and from school and shops. Couldn’t find them anywhere when I went out this afternoon to pick up the youngest from school so put on a spare pair. When I got home I took off the … More Sometimes I wonder…
Was watering this morning around the little orange tree, and saw this little beastie. Yet again I have not the slightest idea what sort it is. If you have a clue… please let me know? All I know about the thing is that it is slowly stripping the leaves off the tree. The tree doesn’t … More I need a hint!
