So we enter the Hogsbreath at 5:30 p.m. or thereabouts and place the order at 5:47 p.m. I know this because it says so on the docket. We finally leave at around 8:30 p.m. In between… well lots is better left unsaid but the bare bones are clear enough. We ask for starters… they arrive. … More The Hogsbreath Cafe, Canberra – the meal,
Wow – already January 3rd 2008! I’ll bet the shops will be putting up their Easter Egg displays soon. Never too early for Easter Eggs though… even if I can’t be eating them myself for a little while. New Years Eve was a sedate affair here as I described and we did very little the … More Wow – it's just 2008 and I'm whingeing already!
We’ve had quite a good day today. Lots to eat, a fair bit to drink, an afternoon at the ice rink in the cool followed by an evening in the swimming pool which was *really* warm!! Came in and watched a really wonderful little foreign film on SBS and am quite pleased with the way … More Happy New Year!!

However… as usual the ‘unexplainable’ met the unexpected’ and the day produced it’s share of jinx associated events. For a start I had a few ‘problems’ with my Colorado boots. I bought the boots years ago to use … More Well, well… all home in one piece!
Despite me being all bar crippled with my back, all of us are off to the Blue Mountains for the day. The picnic is made… dishes are packed… water is in the bottles… and away we go. I did none of the preparation because last night I finally came down with the cold that’s been … More A blue day ahead.
We’ve sat around this arvo looking at ways to save a few dollars this year. What with one thing and another the bank balance is currently looking a little bare… ok a bit less than bare! So far we’ve slashed $300 a month off our expenses with more to come. Not as much as we’d … More Working on the finances
In case you were wondering, which I bet you weren’t, the back still hurts.
Ok I admit I *do* like Barbie’s, but I think I should point out I’m not talking about the diminutive and anatomically challenged variety… more the food and drink oriented type. 🙂 Back at the Ice Rink yesterday we met up with some friends who invited us over for a couple of hours R&R for … More I like Barbie's!
I wish I could report how much better my back feels and that I’m bouncing around like a teenager again. Well the fat makes me bounce alright, but the pain tends to make it a risky business. Both sides are hurting so I think it’s clear I have a compression somewhere in the lower back … More My back hurts – still.
