I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Another one of ‘those’ weekends coming up. There’s a public holiday on Monday so you might expect us to have some free time to relax a bit and catch up on stuff. Fat chance! Both kids are going rock climbing with Guides tonight. They need parents to help belay the other kids… so both the … More It's all go.
Youngest daughters birthday today… she’s just 8. She had her party last Saturday at the skating rink with 20 friends and seemed to enjoy it. Today was far quieter but we did get her a cake. The cake was a really light almost frothy vanilla sponge with layers of caramel fudge and cream covered in … More No cake for me?
After nearly 20 years spent growing up in front of the camera, Australia’s sweetheart, Kate Ritchie, has decided to hang up her bikini and leave both ‘Sally Fletcher’ and ‘Summer Bay’ behind her. Even tho I’ve not watched the show for years her image has always been the one used in the advertising and it’s … More Sally goes away home…
Well ok this one *isn’t* quite as horizontal as the one we saw was, but it’s damn close!! This one was supplied by a friend in the AO forum. It was taken up on the Gold Coast… the lights are on the highway. Ours was also far lower on the horizon and so appeared far … More Horizontal Crescent Moon
We’ve just been informed by the weather bureau that NSW could be hit with up to 100 severe storms this summer… each with devastating force. Bit of a worry this. We’ve seen some really heavy storms hereabouts before of course some with driving hailstones as large as tennis balls and they really aren’t anything to … More Oh Bother.
He’s a nice guy… but has the tendency to rabbit a bit. Today I dropped in at 12:00 right on time for my appointment. By the time he finally got round to see me and I’d got away with the script clutched in my sweaty little palm… it was 1:20 p.m. He did much the … More My local Doctor.
Looks like my mother and father won’t be arriving this year after all. We’ve got kinda used to them coming over for Xmas and then staying most of the next six months, but it looks like last year *was* the last year. My father is getting concerned about both my mothers and his physical condition … More Might be a quiet Xmas after all.
At age 84 the man who was possibly *the* best known mime artist around the world has finally died. Marcel lost his father to the invading German forces in WWII and joined first the resistance and then the Free French Army. It wasn’t until 1946 that he finally began to study acting and mime but … More Vale Marcel Marceau
In an attempt to get the RSS feed working with minimal effort… I changed the theme to see if this will do it all for me automatically 🙂 Will check in Bloglines and see if it appears… the last theme/update seemed to kill it. 😦 Edit: And back again… didn’t work and I didn’t like … More Changed the theme… again.
Reading in the papers this morning about some supposed lesbian antics going on between those whiter than white soap opera sisters Marcia and Jan Brady, (Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb). Well the story is a non-event since who really cares whether it’s true or not. What got me laughing was that the report shows this … More Oops wrong Brady Bunch!
