I was in Aldi supermarket the other day and there was a pile of DVD’d going cheap there so naturally I had to have a nose. One I found I just *had* to have. It is a copy of old an Beatles TV appearance from April 28th 1964. In it the ‘fab four’ do a … More The Beatles – yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
Sorry for all the to’ing and fro’ing. I like being online… and I like using the blog as a reminder of what’s happening in the world. But I’m not sure now that I can carry on even writing in here. Why? Well the release of ‘spoliers’ for the Harry Potter series is reaching epidemic proportions. … More No Harry Potter spoilers!!
The temperature this morning was -3ºC so even worse than yesterday! I hope things pick up soon. It’s currently colder here than in the UK and that’s saying something 🙂 Actually… having looked at the weather chart for Cardiff (UK) where my parents live, they have a maximum in 18ºC indicated for the week and … More Cold again.
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!
Why was I not informed? Seems people around the world protested about the overuse of oil by the industrialised nations by stripping off and riding their bikes through various cities. They were naked in chilly London… they were naked in foggy Seattle… yet nobody got their kit off in sunny Sydney! How odd. This lady … More Naked bike riding… eh?
The late Steve Irwin’s little daughter Bindi Sue Irwin has been voted the ‘Favourite Face of Australian Tourism‘. What this mini-wildlife-warrior thinks of this hasn’t been reported but seeing her with her trademark grin at the NY Press Club the other day you have to say ’she’s back’. Not that she’s really been away as … More Bindi back on track.
Driving the kids to school yesterday I noticed in passing a flying fox hanging on wires at the side of the road. Wasn’t sure then if it was alive or dead. Since it’s there this morning I have to assume it’s dead. It’s the ‘circle of life’ stuff again I suppose… but it’s still quite … More Flying fox flying no more.
In case you thought I was exaggerating the pollution the smoke is causing from the Blue Mountain Fires, I took a few snaps from our upper floor window. I don’t think any of them really convey just how bad it is, but they’ll have to do. As limited as it is, I think this one … More Smoke plume fills the sky
Just been to get the littlest one from Guides. That acrid smell of smoke was even stronger than before… and this time as I was driving through the lanes I could see the smoke building up around me. It’s not so thick yet that we can’t see, but certainly thick enough for it to be … More Smoke gets in your eyes.
Apart from the fires… another sign of summer is that the cockroaches start flying… ewww… !! I found two this morning… one in the hall and one which flew in the back door as I opened it. One was a creepy little ‘German’ type… the other a native Australian. Makes no difference to me… two … More It's skin crawling time
