I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again… the score for the Lord of the Rings is without doubt *the* best I’ve ever heard. There are surprisingly few film scores that have been so good they have registered with me as ‘separate’ from the films they were written for. Of those that *have* made … More A score to settle?
The recent spate of appalling weather has been a bit of a double edged sword for Sydney in general and for us in particular. The rain of the past two months has ruined many a holiday including that of the daughter and grandkids from the UK. It’s soaked through everything,made a mess of the swimming … More Warragamba Dam
Rang the store to ask for a copy of the ‘Accident Report’ in case the solicitor wants to see their version. This reminds me I need to extract the blog post and write it a little more accurately to give to a solicitor… I think the online version, whilst accurate, isn’t really adequate. 🙂 And … More Contacted Bunnings
From this day forward let no one question the existence of “The Jinx”!! This story is ridiculous… yet also painful so please bear in mind as you snigger, that I’m still feeling the effects. 🙂 To begin, the best place is usually the beginning. As some of you know both my kids are in the … More Oh my poor toe!!
In Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens said “the law is an ass” and over the years the legal system has shown that there was good reason for his comment. Since his day of course things have gone slowly and steadily downhill to the extent that in the UK a woman is being made to stand trial … More The Law is an Ass!
At the local Shell garage is a car wash. Now as is well known I’m really not the most energetic of people and some things are just too much effort. This being so, and the car being so big, I tend to take it to the car wash in preference to doing it myself. I’m … More Jinxed? Moi?
It’s quite dry today. The sun is shining and all’s well with the world. Temperatures aren’t too high either so perhaps while I have time I ought to get out and mow the grass before the rain comes again… as the weather forecast tells us it will, and soon!! So much work, so little time….. … More And so back to work.
I looked up ‘Giant Moths’ and found a picture of a moth that looked very similar to the one we found! As far as I can tell, this *is* the same species of moth we found outside the railway station. It’s name is ‘Endoxyla Magnifica’, a giant ‘wood moth’ who’s larvae spend their lives boring … More More on the Giant Moth.
Yesterday as usual we went off to the train station to send the wife off to work. Sitting around doing nothing unusual, discussing the news and stuff, the time passed and eventually the train pulled into the station and she got out of the car. As she did she jumped backwards and shouted what the … More Giant Moths
These two pictures are of the garden orb spider that has taken up residence outside the front door and nicknamed by us ‘The Fat Lady’ because of her bulk. As always, photos really don’t do her justice… even so I think they give some idea why we found her impressive. By the way, she’s making … More More on the 'fat lady'.
