Broke yesterday’s resolve just to pop in and let you know the current temperature outside is -2ºC which is probably the coldest I can recall since we’ve been here. It is seriously *not* warm for this part of Australia. The wife had to get in early for work so she took the train… luckily… I … More Nippy!
After a little thought, I decided I’m going to take myself offline for the next few days. The reason is simple enough… The last Harry Potter book will be out on the 21st July. Ok I’m a Pottermaniac… a true addict… no question about it, but since this is the last book I’m going to … More And a fond farewell… for now!
The UK Site ‘Raising Kids‘ has loads of competitions to enter for very little effort – in fact they give you the answers 🙂 The only problem is you need to have kids in order to enter. Of course… you *could* put down the names of cousins, nephews and neices, even grandchildren if you wanted … More Got kids? Enter competitions!
The wife went back to work this morning after having a couple of days off because of a cold. She’s gone off on the train, as she does when it’s raining, so her cold is quite likely to make a comeback later this week. She’s in for an interesting day either way as the eldest … More Quiet today – damn dam!
Kids were due to be picked up at 3.00 or so but I got ther at 3:20. This was because I’d forgotten I’d not paid for their courses so had to go back to the ATM for cash. Picked up kids… drove all the way to the rink… and *then* discovered I’d left the skates … More And then aggravation.
Seems I’m not fated to get a good nights sleep. Apart from the diet going totally awol, I’ve now sunk back into a morass of depression and sleepless nights. Clearly *something* is feeding of something else and causing all this, but I’m at a loss to work out what’s going wrong. Am I eating because … More Another bad night!
Ah the joys of summer in the UK… those traditional activities like bailing out the house, building sandbag walls to keep out the floods… such fun. Still at least it’s warm… 15ºC currently… sad I call it. Still, let’s hope nobody suffers too much in the gales etc. 😦
After not having bothered to try for years, we finally decided to record some of our DV tapes onto the computer. This was brought on by me having filmed the eldest at a school play which was performed entirely in French and having one of the other parents ask me for a copy. Wonderful idea … More Eo, eo, eo… vid, vid, vid!!
Winter demonstrated it has arrived over the past weeks by creating floods that killed a dozen people and caused a billion dollars worth of damage. Luckily for us, most of that happened to the north of Sydney in the areas around Newcastle and above. The worst we’ve had, other than some heavy rain, has been … More Winter arrives
Found a nice little 3-bedder with 7 acres just off Whites Ridge Road not far from here. Would mean the wife wouldn’t need to travel so far… it’s nearer the kids school… *but*… it looks a little too ‘woody’ from where I was looking so might be another of those ‘perched on a cliff’ type … More Still rambling.
