Had a bit of an upset night when the effects of such a major change in my diet came back to bite me. At around 1:30 a.m. my digestive system finally rebelled and indulged in some reverse peristalsis. After two sessions calling Hughie I finally crawled into bed and collapsed until the dog woke me … More The Aftermath.
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.
So there we were, sitting in a corner, on a table full of people we didn’t know, under a loudspeaker, an hour late, and looking conspicuous. Great start. We were on a table of strangers because we decided that instead of choosing to sit with other parents we knew we’d take pot luck. Actually we … More The Year 6 Formal: Stage 2.
Sitting in my driveway after coming home from the gym I saw something ‘odd’ in the park opposite. My first thought was it looked like a long necked turtle but since we don’t have any ponds within reach I figured I was wrong and worked through all sorts of creatures ranging from stalking birds through … More So I spies this turtle…
Obviously chucking handfuls of Rosemary over your lamb is a way of using up some… but I have *buckets* of it! Thing is what *else* can I do with it?? The damn thing is taking over the garden!

As mentioned a few days ago I was in Sydney with the eldest daughter for her flute exam. What I *forgot* to mention was that on the way back to meet the wife for lunch… I passed an OpShop… a St. Vinnies one I think. I can’t resist an OpShop 🙂 Anyway, I wandered straight … More Cheap thrills!
Pouring here again today. The streetsd are flooded… and my car has changed colour from dark blue to a muddy white. Still not complaining… if some of this rain is helping fill the dams while reducing water use – well it cant be bad!!
Almost forgot to mention it’s Halloween tonight. Much as I loathe this Americanism it seems to have taken hold here as an excuse for kids to wander around people’s houses begging for lollies!! 🙂 My kids obviously took to this with much pleasure and now they team up with a young girl from across the … More Almost forgot
Yes indeedy. The Leonid Meteor Shower will hit earth once again on November 17th – 18th (give or take a week) about 11:00 p.m. At least that’s when it’ll hit the Northern hemisphere. I’m afraid I’ve not yet worked out when those of us in Australia will be able to see it properly. Either way, … More Leonids are coming again!
This morning I posted a note about how I used to enjoy Pot Noodles when they came out… until I knew better. To cheer me up a little… The Phantom posted something on his site. I’ve never seen it before bit I fell about laughing. Damn funny I thought… and I loved the accents. Awww… … More And so this appeared
