Well hello again. I’ve managed to crawl out of bed and am all bar ready to return to the blogshere to throw my opinions into the melting pot. Sorry for the self-indulgence of the past weeks, when I have flu I’m a pain to all around me so abandoning the blog for a few days … More Hello world!
So let’s see. Who got sucked into the hype and like a million others went out and bought an iPhone? Oops… you did? Well, if you *did* rush out and buy one I doubt you’ll be too happy reading the rest of this article. To be honest I was considering rushing out with the rest … More Bought an iPhone – seen better?
The miniscule Wildlife Warrior and merchandising machine known as Bindi Irwin will be ten years old in a few days (July 24th). The development of her fan base in the wake of father Steve’s death has launched her into ‘superstar’ status. In fact, her fame has grown to the extent that the ‘Bindi Irwin’ name … More Bendi Bindi Back!
Well yes, I’m ‘sort of’ on the mend. I can’t say I feel as bad as I did, but I’m still ‘out of it. I’ll take a few extra days off and try to make sure I’m back properly. No point trying to force things after all. I’ve done very little posting in the forums. … More On the mend?
Sorry to report that I’m still suffering with the flu I didn’t mention I had. I came down with the Australian version of the lurgy a couple of weeks ago and I’ve gone steadily downhill since. Strangely even before it arrived I knew it was on the way. Over the many years of my life … More Sick as a Dog
Please accept my apologies for not updating the blog as regularly as usual. The kids are home for what would be known as half term in the UK, but end of term in Oz, and so I’m a bit ‘pushed’ for time! In addition I decided now was a good time to start spring-cleaning and … More Life in the Kennel.
We’re quite remarkably well off by most standards. The wife earns a bucket of money, which of course we spend and enjoy pretty much, however the actual ‘quality of life’ issue still raises it’s head now and then. In order for the wife to earn this small fortune she has to leave the house at … More How's your quality of life?
Had a nice email from Angela Catterns the other day in response to a ‘welcome back’ message I sent via her website. Today is her final day sitting in for Richard Feidler in his ‘Conversation Hour’ on ABC Local Radio 702 and I was prepared to say ‘bye’ for now. I’d even dug out this … More Angela's Army
To keep the kids occupied for a while yesterday I dug out the old 1950’s film “Hans Christian Anderson” satarring Danny Kaye. They sat transfixed! I’d forgotten much of the film and tho as an adult I still appreciated the music, the film itself was mind boggling! The film paid scant attention to anything resembling … More Kids films.
After some consideration I changed the theme to ‘Kepple’ (by Madewira – link below if you like it) which I’ve also used on the ‘Etymology’ blog. Now it’s all very well for *me* to like it but it needs to be ‘liked’ by visitors, so if you have any issues with it… like it *or* … More Looking better? I'm not sure meself.
