From this day forward let no one question the existence of “The Jinx”!! This story is ridiculous… yet also painful so please bear in mind as you snigger, that I’m still feeling the effects. 🙂 To begin, the best place is usually the beginning. As some of you know both my kids are in the … More Oh my poor toe!!
Life goes on… and as it does, piles of waste and rubbish are generated. As is the way of the world, the local council responded by reducing the size of the waste bin for general rubbish from 240 litres to 140 litres… I assume this was intended to make us all recycle more of our … More Rubbish Collection: Baulkham Hills
Hmmm…. not doing so well here I’m afraid. Christmas really hacked my resolve and I allowed myself far too much leeway in what I ate. Apart from having put on nearly 10 kilos I’m finding it hard to regain the resolve I had before the diet ended and get the weight moving in a downward … More The diet.
I wish I could report how much better my back feels and that I’m bouncing around like a teenager again. Well the fat makes me bounce alright, but the pain tends to make it a risky business. Both sides are hurting so I think it’s clear I have a compression somewhere in the lower back … More My back hurts – still.
The eldest, eldest daughter from the UK has a nasty looking infection on her leg. I think she was bitten by something a few days ago. Lord knows what took a bite out of here, there are so many nasties over here it could have been anything. Either way the result was a lump… that … More Chop it off I reckon.
The Phantom has come down with the lurgy. This seems to be a virus slowly spreading around the world since it’s affecting us here as well. Colds, flu and the like are all international illnesses now and what hits one country hits all others within days or weeks. Our infections weren’t helped by the grand-daughter … More Best wishes Phantom!!

Last night was the finale of the Hills Biggest Loser Competition organised by the gym I’m a member of. I’ve written a little about this in the other blog but this is an extended edition so to speak. For those who’ve not kept up, the competition started 13 weeks ago and ended on Saturday… however … More Life goes on.
Today I thought I would *finally* be able to make some headway with the cleaning in advance of the daughters arrival Weds eve, however yet again fate got in the way. I went to the gym as usual but on the way realised my back was beginning to ache more and more. By the time … More I sort one issue… and lurch to the next.
A lot of Saturday was spent out in the garden. I finished strimming the edges of the lawns front and back and mowed. Spread lawn fertiliser over them and watered it in. Yesterday was *also* spent in the garden. The wife went out with the kids firstly to shop, and then to drop them off … More Weeeeed….. ?
