Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
I was never over-enamoured with the previous theme… over the weeks I’ve tried a few otehrs… including the Anaconda theme… but this current one which is a ‘3ColumnK2‘ implementation… is far more functional than either the previous one or the Anaconda. Ok I’ll accept that The colour scheme of the original was better suited to … More Theme Change
A few days ago Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham declared the Australian cricket team was the “Dad’s Army” of world cricket… well maybe they *are* a bit long in the tooth… but as always the statistics tell all. End of second days play and the score is Australia 602 for 9… and England 53 for 3. I … More Boofhead Botham
Part of the pleasure of the Ashes cricket test series over here is watching and listening to the ‘Barny Army’ that follows the English side around from game to game. The ‘Mexican Wave’ and the bugle calls add to the gentle pleasures for the crowd and relieve what can after all be occasionally… how can … More Fun turns to ashes,

The official reason is his desire to pursue other interests… and who can blame him? He’s been under intense pressure since age 10 when his outstanding ability became apparant. Goon onya Thorpie… … More Thorpedo quits.

They get up, waashed, dressed, shoes socks on etc, brush hair, have breakfast, clean teeth, put lunch in school bag… and then have a short time to watch tv or read before leaving. Really simple. And yet despite having a fixed routine… every … More Kids drive me crazy
Schoolies week is on again. For those not in the know, this is an Australian tradition (in the vein of the US Spring Break) which school leavers play the starring role. In theory the time is a combination ‘holiday’ and ‘rite of passage’, supposedly a chance for school leavers to demonstrate their new found maturity … More Schoolies Week
Our garden isn’t very large… a lot of our space is frontage which we don’t use much. Another large chunk is taken up by the pool, the lawn area which houses the kids trampoline and swings, and the little patio (which itself is almost entirely covered by the table and chairs:)) but we *do* have … More The Retreat
