I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Indeed… a day when nothing is exactly going ‘wrong’ but isn’t going according to plan either. By now I should be at the gym well into my daily trek and perspiring with the extended effort. As it is I’m sitting at home (again) in front of the computer with yet another cup of delicious liquorice … More It's just one of those days…
We received word from the kids school regarding the amounts we will be required to pay for their education this year. For the youngest the base figure is $11,672, for the elder, $15,668. So just for their basic day to day education we’ll be shelling out nearly $28,000. When we add in the ‘extras’ the … More School Fees… the nightmare continues.
Over the past day or two I’ve been remembering how the house maintenance started to pile up in the run up to Xmas. The problems were caused by the amount of time I was spending in the gym, compounded by being exhausted afterwards and the pains I was getting in my hip/knee etc. Those factors … More So that's why…

Whenever I hear someone say “It’s cold out”, I’m reminded of Eric Morecambe and his comeback line “Well put it away then!!” It’s so hard to believe he died way back in 1984!! Not that it had anything to do with the topic of course, it seemed like a good introduction. What I really wanted, … More It's cold out!
It’s been a very long day but we’re home at last. Too late to work on the site, too tired to spit. Well fed after the leg of lamb… but so tired I just need to sleep. 🙂 Did I mention the leg weighed 3.5 kilos? Only cost $3.99 a kilo too. Good value we … More Home at last.
Yup… whatever it was I was going to write was something important. Unfortunately that’s the only thing I can remember about it. If it ever comes back to me I’ll let you know!! 😀
Was considering making up yet another blog called something like ‘The Skater & her Dad’ and load stuff onto and into it that is related to figure skating… and *more* importantly the youngest daughters development as a skater (if any) and of course pictures of her!! 🙂 I’ll not be creating a link to it … More The Skater & her Dad?
Another day dawns… or did several hours ago. The chaos yesterday is forgotten… except that everyone in NSW has to continually check whatever clocks they use in case they are computer controlled and think Daylight Saving has ended. Here it ends next week, but nobody told the computers! 🙂 Anyway, I digress as usual. Was … More Another day…
Not a lot happening here today. The kids are away, the youngest still at a sleepover, and the eldest to a friends party. The wife is working trying to catch up on the work she missed whilst home with the sore back… and I’m pottering about in the garage trying to find some floor space. … More Quiet ol' day today.
