I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Sitting in my driveway after coming home from the gym I saw something ‘odd’ in the park opposite. My first thought was it looked like a long necked turtle but since we don’t have any ponds within reach I figured I was wrong and worked through all sorts of creatures ranging from stalking birds through … More So I spies this turtle…
Yet again the eldest daughter is going to arrive at school with a piece of ‘homework’ rused and completed beyond the ‘last second’. As part of her terms work she was supposed to create a folder commenting and detailing her life in the Junior School which she will be leaving at the end of this … More Time after time.
We didn’t *intend* to have two cars – no sirree Bob! It just happened that way. The future son-in-law took all the papers for the car we bought yesterday over to the NRMA to get it insured… and then we nipped off to the RTA (Road Traffic Authority) to get the registration transferred from the … More We now have two cars.
‘Twas on the Wednesday evening that the daughter came to call. Yup… we’re all here. And is all hunky dory?? Well it’s a bit of a curate’s egg. Let’s just say that I’m beginning to remember why her mother and I divorced. Strangely, despite having arrived with not a lot of cash, they’ve managed to … More 'Twas on the Wednesday evening…
I have so much work to do I don’t know where to start. What’s worse is that I don’t even know if I *can* start. My back is killing me and everything I have to do involves bending or stretching. The lights have to be sorted out in the garden ready for Xmas. The house … More Where will it all end?
So… the kids went off to take part in the Sydney Ice Rink Xmas Show on Friday and Saturday nights and both of them did very well. The youngest being the better skater had more of a ‘part’ but the eldest was actually on the ice for a longer period so it all balanced out … More The show must go on.
I put forward my suggestion about the gods ‘having a laugh’ at my expense a couple of days back but the extent of this became even more apparent yesterday. To reiterate so of the points, I knew the daughter and family would be coming to stay so made sure I had a full week clear … More Having a laugh.
I always find pain hurts… can’t say I like it. Can’t say I like bad backs either. Thing about a bad back is that you feel 100% otherwise… well I do anyway. The only thing is that when I move I get shooting pains that make me yell out loud. So I don’t move… and … More I'm not too fussy on pain.
Today I thought I would *finally* be able to make some headway with the cleaning in advance of the daughters arrival Weds eve, however yet again fate got in the way. I went to the gym as usual but on the way realised my back was beginning to ache more and more. By the time … More I sort one issue… and lurch to the next.
The software I was looking at, as introduced to me by kyte (see previous post) looks as if it might be the answer to several of my problems, not least the presentation of digital uploads in a form that is ‘secure’ – i.e. watermarked – yet accessible to family and friends! I also want ‘control’ … More Interesting album software!
