I spy with my little eye something beginning with… ‘P’… for ‘possible’. We went… we came back… and to be honest, mostly what I confirmed is that ‘the bush’ is really a pretty scruffy sort of place with fallen branches, leaves and general detritus all over the place. The places that appealed the most were, … More I spy with my little eye.
The Dog and family are off to look at a small place even further outside Sydney than we are now. Over the years this place has become less and less rural as the population steadily expands northwest. The recent upgrade in transport however makes a longer trip a little more viable so we’re looking at … More Time for a move?
Cold… wet… dark. Temp was 10ºC last time I looked. I think I’ll go to bed.
My birthday is on October 27th when I shall… should I live that long under the ongoing pressure of this stressful life I lead… reach the somewhat mature age of 60. Now this is already twice the age an old gypsy fortune teller told me I’d live to so I’ll not complain (much) if/when I … More My Birthday wishes.
I was writing something to the wife about a trainee solicitor we knew. Apparently she’s left the firm but we have no idea where she’s gone. Trouble is, as is well documented, I have a very odd little mind. One of its oddities is an inability to remember faces out of context. A prime example … More Who are you again??
Just an update on the jinx. I mentioned the window on the front passenger side of the hire car had a window that wouldn’t go back up? Well… though it’s been dry for weeks… last night (and today ongoing…) it rained. I think the jinx is letting me know it’s there… watching 😀 It lives … More The jinx moves along
Well ok this was the local equivalent of rent-a-wreck but the cars aren’t a lot cheaper. I rang around a couple of car hire companies and discovered they had nothing available… a long weekend is in the offing, (Queens Birthday I think?) and people want to go away. Eventually I got a couple of quotes … More Rent a Wreck Rules!
The week started off so well too. The oldies were home in the UK, I’d recovered my bag with all it’s necessities, and I’d started clearing up and rearranging the furniture in the house. I was even feeling more or less ok. Yesterday it all went wrong when the jinx yet again reared its ugly … More One of those weeks
Thing is there are all sorts of ‘gluttony’. In our case it’s that we are gluttons for punishment… or it seems so. Take today for example. The wife and I were up at 5:00 and can look forward to a day of work. The wife earning a crust… me trying to spend it and keep … More Days of our lives.
Yes, I have been a bit quiet lately. The oldies left on Friday so we were all a bit upset about that. In addition nobody from the family was at the wife’s MBA Graduation Ceremony to watch her get her degree because the kids were in school… and I was taking the oldies to the … More Yet another 'one of those days'.
