Not sure how or why it happened but I just realised the times for all the posts I’ve made with this template have been using the wrong time… in fact about 11 hours behind! I think it must have been set to UST/GMT. Anyway – I changed it to show the correct time… I think… … More Time adjusted.
Not sure when the 12 days of Xmas ended… if they have… but I’m finally getting the last of the outside decorations down and boxed ready to be dragged out again in a few months to be reused… well those that still work then will be used – maybe. Right now of course I’m not … More The 12 days of Xmas
I have learned that I’m too old to drink half pints of Muscat… and then expect to be able to play table-tennis afterwards. I’m not very good to begin with and the effects of the alcohol make it even harder. Actually, in retrospect, I think it was perhaps a little silly to buy a 2 … More I have learned…
The wife’s finally gone back to work this morning. She has to close off things she’s had on the go with Qantas ready for her move at the end of next week and there’s a possibility she’ll have to ‘hand over’ to a new person as well… if they can find anyone of course. It’s … More Back to the grind.
One more week and the oldies will be arriving. Just around now we’ll be setting off for the airport ready to collect them for their three month stay. Are we ready? No, Will we be ready? No. Are we concerned? No. 🙂 The bedroom will be tidy… the shower and toilet will be clean and … More The rellies are coming!
After four years hard slog (for her *and* us) the wife has finally completed the last assignment of her MBA and will submit it this morning. She spent yesterday at home working… both ‘real’ work and polishing up this last piece of coursework. As written up earlier… we also went out for the first time … More Stress relief headaches?
Knowing Lloyd George’s reputation I’d be more concerned if he knew my mother. The lecherous old sod wasn’t known as the ‘Welsh Goat’ for nothing! Of course over here in Oz, there must be 99% of the population who have not the slightest idea what I’m talking about… for them… they can look here in … More Lloyd George knew my father
Every morning the kids are supposed to go through the same routine. 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
Summer is here again. There’s a total fire ban in large parts of Oz and local Western Sydney and temperatures are set to reach 40ºC with humidity as low as 3%. There is a lot of weeding to do out in the front but I doubt I’ll be doing much of it today and I’ll … More Total fire ban
Well I like my own… sort of… but other people’s tend to drive me crazy… well ok more crazy. I don’t like the feeling of being *obliged* to buy cards and presents instead of *wanting* to to show someone you like them and/or care about them and/or want to please them. It’s even worse when … More I don't like birthdays either!
