I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Yet again another Australian was sentenced to death for heroin smuggling. This time it was Hong Viet Nguyen a 40 year old of Vietnamese descent caught with 95- grams of the drug in his clothes. And how much did he sell his life for? Just US$10,000. You have to wonder at what’s happening in these … More Another death sentence
Went to my first Guide Meeting in *months*. Missed them for all sorts of reason varying from sheer boredom with the whole thing (i.e. whilst working through the depression) to conflicting commitments. However… was there tonight. Lucky I was too as the youngest was given a badge for having been part of the troupe the … More Guide meeting tonight.
Every day In Australia, 350 Beatles albums are sold. Who’da thunk it eh??
Why on earth could a lovely little girl like this be abandoned on a railway station and have *nobody* come forward to identify her or know who she is? Temporarily named ‘Pumpkin’ because of the ‘Pumpkin Patch’ clothes she was wearing, she was found wandering on a Melbourne railway station fifteen minutes after the man … More Lonely Pumpkin
The other blog has been receiving a fair bit of my attention lately. Partly because I’m obsessed with food since not being allowed to eat any, but also partly because I’m still building and updating it… the site that is, not the food… Anyway, I’ve spent most of the afternoon since our sojourn to the … More The 'other blog'.
Geez weeding the patio is driving me crazy. I started last weekend and still haven’t finished. Wouldn’t be so bad but it’s only a pocket handkerchief size. It’ll look better when it’s done, but it’s so damn boring. Can I show you a before and after picture? Well yes and no. I *could* do it… … More Patio, patio bakers man
The friend of my youngest decided last night she missed her mum and wanted to go home. Because I’d taken to my bed at 6:30 p.m. the wife had to drive halfway across Sydney to get her back home. Can’t ask her what it was like since while I’m up… she’s not! 🙂 I feel … More One down…
I’ve developed a cough. The youngest has it to so I don’t think it’s related to the diet, nevertheless it’s really annoying, especially when I’m being knocked for six by the diet itself. I go to the gym and spend an hour or two working off the days calories so there’s little left over for … More Poor me
Just visited Kat’s Karaven and found a post from May 2007 which carries the MP3 of John Peel’s first Top Gear on 1st October 1967. It’s 60 mb but I couldn’t resist it. Quite amazing. It’s carrying *live* tracks from people like Traffic, Nirvana, Floyd etc. Some of this stuff I’ve either never heard before … More Late Great John Peel
We’re still a bit in the dark about who’s coming to stay this year. For starters, the wife has a niece she’s never met who wants to come and stay with us for an unspecified length of time. To add to the fun she’d like to bring her new husband as well. Of course… we’ve … More Talking of visitors…
