I can be a very happy and festive person, but the over-commercialisation and the fact that it’s by far the busiest time of year for us, always spoils the spirit of the season. This year (like most other years) Christmas started on Christmas Eve where we joined my Parents for the Chrissy Church service… came [...]
Perhaps I play too many computer games or watch too many action movies, but I can’t seem to stop my mind from wandering whenever I find myself somewhere new without anything to keep me occupied. For instance… over the weekend, we were at Trish and Dave’s for another BBQ and while Dave was cooking the [...]
When I write posts, I’ll often do a couple of quick Google searches to find funny idioms or references to a particular term to make it look like I’m a much greater wordsmith than I actually am. This post is about George going for a haircut and I was about to make reference to how [...]
At the moment it feels like someone poured lighter fluid all over my back and set it alight and if you came-up behind me without a shirt on, you could quite easily mistake me for the Pink Panther. As uncomfortable as this is, it’s a small price to pay for a great weekend. On Friday [...]

The week worth of storms has hopefully passed (there are reports that we’re still in for some more rain, but hopefully it won’t be anywhere near as bad as it has been). During the storms, we were fortunate enough not to sustain any major damage, but on Saturday morning our phone line died (which subsequently [...]
Had a few crap days at work last week… luckily this week has been a lot more productive. Last weekend was officially filled by Kristy’s family. On Saturday afternoon her Dad and family came over for a BBQ which went well into the evening. On Sunday morning we helped-out Kristy’s niece and then Sunday night [...]
I could go on and on about how busy I’ve been lately which is why the blog has been a little neglected (which is true… but it still sounds like a fairly lame excuse) so instead, I’ll tell you about all the stuff that has happened over the last month and a half and then [...]
