Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
As the start of the chaos hits home, it’s good to recall the wife’s comment on my post yesterday. She said I am pleased to report that as my bus wound its weary way through the city to get me home, there was no sign of those ghastly fences. Hence the main purpose of the … More More on APEC

Personally I’d have thought being able to breathe thru it’s backside would place it … More Elseya irwini
On a continuing theme from yesterday my kids are driving me crazy too. Try as I might they simply will *not* do what they are asked, or told no matter how urgent it is or even how much they personally will benefit from it. Dunno why I’m so annoyed… I doubt I was any better … More It don’t rain…
I’ve come to the conclusion that I *really* don’t like having so little control over my life or the way I live it.

The world at large seems to have decided I’m either not a ‘fit and proper person’, or that I have no peer group since in all my years I’ve never been called for jury duty! Come to think of it… I can’t say I even *know* anyone who’s been called for jury duty? If you … More Jury Duty – not once!
Slow down,you move to fast You’ve gotta make the morning last… etc… Was driving home this morning from the hospital where I’d dropped off the wife and eldest daughter (who is having teeth removed you may recall?). We left the youngest is bed asleep so I had to come back to get her ready for … More Slow down!
No not cold *and* broke… just that I finally got the full effect of the cold with the sniffles and the headache and the shivers mmm…hoy…clavin!! Which might account for why I was so miserable yesterday!! I’ll live of course but for a few days I might think I don’t want to. Luckily of course, … More Cold broke
