Started well… got ‘out there’ and mowed the front lawns. Did a reasonable job too. Then did lots of watering. Came in for a drink… damn hot out there… and sent an email or two. Then read one. Seems I promised to go collect a sign for the Guide Group… and the address had just … More What did you do today Dad?

Take a good look at this baby Indian Mynah… by the time you’re seeing it here, in real life it’ll probaby be dead. I think it has come from one of the nests we get in the attic in summer. This one is relatively fortunate in that it landed in the garden. Others, less ‘lucky’ … More Nature, red in tooth and claw.

Apparantly this is about to become a reality for millions of city dwellers in NSW courtesy of the State Government. According to the Premier, they are seeking ‘expressions of interest’ for the creation of free universal wireless broadband access in the CBD of several largish city areas.

Take and hour out for coffe, lunch and afternoon tea and we spent 5 hours wandering around a shopping mall that’s new to us. What did we buy? Well it’s hard … More Shopping Day – whoopee.

There I was quietly looking up what happened to the Nephilims… as one does occasionally… when I found a reference to the Illuminati… which in turn referred me to David Oick… sorry Icke. Not heard of David for some time. He used to be quite a pleasant feller to listen to on the radio or … More David Icke remembered.

There is a little site in the states called Jesus Pets. This site proudly states that it’s mission is to help those christians who will be ‘called to glory’ when the rapture begins… but will be worried about who will take care of their pets when they are communing with god in the great hereafter. … More Animals have souls too?

Tonight’s excursion was to the Support Group Meeting at the local Girl Guides group. Not sure if I’ve mentioned this recently, but I got elected President (by default) last year and have been helping out as best I can on and off with whatever comes up… especially sausage sizzles 🙂 Lots of stuff going on… … More Go Guides

We sat through several hours of ice skating yesterday as the girls went through the dress rehearsal for their show. The lights were on full so we didn’t get the full picture… and some of the performers were a little ‘shaky’ so they have yet another dress rehearsal on Thursday as well. The picture shows … More Girls on Ice

Well they had a bit of a last minute smash but the final English charge was nowhere near enough to stop the Aussie bowlers who creamed the rest of the England team in under the 25 overs needed to prevent spectators claiming a refund. As it happens the Barmy Army made more noise than their … More England crash out for 370
