I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
As part of her English course the eldest daughter is required to read a little Shakespeare, specifically “A Midsummer Night Dream”. Over the past few nights the wife and she have been reading through the play acting out the various parts to give the daughter some sense of what the play is about before she … More The Culture Vulture
I was up early this morning, around 6:00 a.m., to take the youngest to her ice skating lesson. Whilst waiting for her to dress I sat quietly by the computer as is my way, reading the online news and trying to stay awake. I was sitting in a reverie when the cat began meowing outside … More Of mice and men… and cats.
Recall a couple of posts ago that I was concerned about the possibility of a poltergeist taking over the house because of ‘sneezing’ noises we were hearing? Well the mystery (such as it was) is solved. A week or two ago I decided the house ponged a little… ok a lot… in fact it stunk!! … More Who's a silly boy then?
Off at sparrows to get the wife to the train because of the bad weather. We took the main road to avoid the causeway which would probably have been flooded and arrived at the station in plenty of time with no problems… except that the trains had been cancelled! A Railcorp person came out from … More Weather around Blacktown.
For the past couple of days there have been odd noises coming from the tv area of our lounge. It isn’t just me that can hear them… the eldest daughter hears them too so I’m not going mad… quite. It sounds very much like a cat sneezing and happens fairly regularly and for a while … More Strange noises in the dark
Woohoo it’s raining again! Well ok this isn’t news. It’s been raining on and off for the past two months… tho it seems more ‘on’ than ‘off’. Can’t complain too much yet. If the dam storage levels were back up at 99% then we might have reason to moan but as it’s still only around … More Sydney rains.
Apart from the fat lady who sits outside the front door and the others of her ilk we have around the garden, we now have one that has made it’s web above the car over the space that will one day become a car port (if we ever manage to keep any money for more … More Photograhing Golden Orb Spiders.
Sad to hear that Jeremy Beadle has died aged just 59. He’d been ill on and off for some time with Leukaemia, and kidney problems etc but finally succumbed to a bout of pneumonia. I can’t say I ever liked his style and I felt more sympathy for those people he ‘pranked’ than I felt … More Vale Jeremy Beadle
Been said before and it’ll be said again. I talk too much. I just looked back at todays offerings and realised I’ve spent far too long typing and too little working. Makes a change tho, I’ve hardly been on here for ages and I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy the odd ramble now and then … More Ooops… I talk too much.
Bands like U2 have been whinging because the poor dears are losing money to those poor sods entirely lacking in musical discernment who download their music… illegally. Admittedly I’ve never bought anything U2 had produced… but then I wouldn’t listen to them either if I had any choice in the matter and wouldn’t download their … More Poor U2 – for a few dollars more?
