Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
Here’s a jolly little site for some pre-Xmas fun. It gives you an indication of when it thinks you are likely to shuffle off the mortal coil. It’s called “Death Clock” and when I entered my details it told me I should have carcked it in 2003… oh good thanks for that don’t call me … More Thanks for all the fish…
Seems all Senior/High School in NSW are to get their promised laptops by the end of term two next year… all those in *public* schooling that is. For those of us funding private sector schooling… there’s nothing. Forgive me for mentioning this… but aren’t *we* taxpayers as well? Isn’t it likely in fact that ‘we’ … More Getting the sharp end of the pineapple!
For any of you out there without a culture bone in their bodies I am *not* sneezing… well ok I *am* sneezing because I have a cold but that’s nothing to do with the subject. Haiku is a traditional Japanes verse form which uses the line syllable format of 5 – 7- 5, i.e. the … More Haiku
A few days ago I posted “They’re Coming” because the local council decided our trees needed pruning to allow better access across what is laughably known as ‘the nature strip’, theoretically our poperty but in fact used to create pedestrian access along the street. So today they came. I could hear the saws as they … More They came – they went.
After vacillating for a while I decided I’d add the photoblog to the site ‘Blogroll’. There are only a dozen photos on there currently and none are particularly spectacular, but I like them. I apologise to some visitors that there are no ‘family oriented’ images in there, they go into the private forum or photo … More Photoblog open.
So there I was on Sunday with a houseful of giggling teenage girls… well there were 5 of them anyway. They’d come to rehearse a play… ‘Frankenstein’ would you believe… with the eldest daughter. The wife decided to take herself and the youngest daughter off to the shops to buy some ‘casual’ gear for an … More Me makey cakey!
This poor creature has been named “Lonesome George” and is the sole remaining member of his particular species of Galapagos Tortoise. Currently ‘George’ who 90 years old, and is the only known Pinta Island tortoise, resides in Ecuador where he was taken in 1971. All his fellows were killed for meat or died as a result … More Lonesome George!
Over the past couple of days there’s been a dramatic rise in the comment spam that’s arrived on all the blogs I write in so I’ve had to change the settings to make it compulsory for anyone who wants to comment to first register and then log in. It’s a PITA but I can’t be … More Comment Spam on the rise!
I thought I’d post a few pictures to let you see the front gardens. Not that they are anything spectaculat but it might stir the memory for those familiar with it 🙂 First the ‘right hand side’ as you look at the house… Then the left – much scruffier. We need to plant the bare … More What *is* 'out front"?
Because my birthday was last Monday there were ‘noises’ from the wife and the kids about dad having a quiet weekend to do whatever he felt like… which suited me. As usual it didn’t quite work out the way I’d expected. The wife took pity on me and got up at 5:00 a.m. to take … More The weekend that was.
