I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Ok, as I said earlier, The New Rouse Hill shopping village (yes it really *is* called that) has opened up for business and we went over today to have a look around. First impressions? I don’t like it. Not because it isn’t finished, or because it hasn’t enough shops. Not because it’s crowded or expensive. … More Rouse Hill Shopping Village
Got the wife’s present sorted out eventually. We went into the jewellers in the mall and they took out 6 links. It now fits, and I think looks, beautiful. Well so does she which makes it all ok either way 🙂 On the way through the shopping mall I passed a little watch repairers and … More Birthday Pressies
The Rouse Hill Town Centre opened it’s doors last Tuesday. I was so impressed I’ve not yet been for a visit. I was told it was very impressive and ‘high tech’ so when we go I’ll be taking a camera to publish a few pics of the insides. The outside is a bit iffy… only … More The Town Centre
Strange sort of day yesterday. Spent the morning at a meeting which lasted from 10:00 a.m. til 1:00 p.m. though it was fairly productive in its own way so was worth going to. Then home for an hour and off for the kids. The school broke up for the holidays yesterday for two weeks, which … More Yesterday
After my exertions in the gym this morning it was almost pleasant to go for a walk around the local Aldi supermarket to pick up a few bits and pieces. Nothing major, other than a new set of scales with some sort of ‘super device’ that will record weights and body changes for the entire … More The shopaholic strikes again!
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.
