Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
Well ‘moving right along’ is what we wish we *could* do but the New South Wales government has turned its back on hundreds of thousands of people encouraged to move to North Western Sydney on the promises or increased and improved infrastructure… including a rail link to carry people from the areas they live, into … More Moving right along…
I was reading some of the interesting clippings from UK papers that my father sends me, and one of note was the dreadful winter of 1947… the year I was born. Naturally I remarked to the wife that you’d think I’d remember something that dire even at such a young age. Being the mathematician she … More So I was born in 1947… yes?
The Dog’s birthday on Monday last – I turned the corner to see “61 years old” on the calendar! Bearing in mind I expected to be dead by age 30 this could be worse… could also be better I suppose. Kids bought me a couple of interesting gifts. Eldest bought me a copy of “Marley … More Dog days.
As I pointed out a few posts ago, over the years the I’ve accumulated masses of computer gear, and being a bit of a magpie (not to mention being quite poor for large chunks of my life), I find it hard to throw anything away… just in case it might come in handy. We’re a … More Yet more apologies for the absence.
A couple of months ago I decided it was about time I took our house ‘in hand’. I’ve done next to no real maintenance in years and my growing collection of the bloody useless has slowly mounted up until I couldn’t see the floor for the mess!

The result was that instead of a 24 hour turnaround, we had to wait until today (4 … More Go Logistics – just *go*!
The converter was despatched this morning. This afternoon we went shopping. When we got back – there was a note saying they’d tried to deliver the thing! Agghh… !!! By then it was 5:30 p.m. and they are closed over the weekend… and of course on Monday which is a public holiday… and there would … More I should so lucky.
Interesting day today. The eldest daughter finally had her Black Belt test and seemed to pass well enough to gain her belt – she’ll find out in a few weeks after her holidays. We were a little concerned about her because they were wearing their thick black outfits and the temperatures were steadily rising! When … More Summer is on the way!
Heirem finally got the widget working in the sidebar so many thanks to him for his efforts. I’m no coder so have no idea what it was he did… but I’m glad he did it. I’ll populate it as the year progresses. For example, it might be a good idea to add in aniversaries and … More Events Calendar working!
Had an interesting comment this morning from a guy called James who lives in Cardiff. It went into a thread I’d rather wasn’t messed up so I’m going to pass on his sentiments here. James also uses the ID ‘welshdog’ and has an address at hotmail.com, but that particular version of the name isn’t mine! … More Verrrry interesting!
