How exciting! The whisper of spring must have just made it into the fishtank at home (albeit somewhat late), because Mike was excited to point out last night – he's gonna be a daddy! Well, after a fashion, anyway. It appears that 2 of the Angelfish have got the horn and dumped a load of…

It has recently been drawn to my attention that some CD's are better than others for waking one up in the morning. The other week I was fine, because I had the soundtrack from “Brazil” in my CD player, and that kicks off with a great trumpet fanfare. I swapped it over after a short…

On Saturday I took some stuff over to my parents' place to commence The Move (which didn't get very far at all really), and discovered a fairly radical change in arrangements in that neck of the woods. I knew that the house next door had been sold, but I didn't realise it had been demolished….

I've finally finished tooling around with my email subscription system for this site ! I'll try to find a better place to link this in, but for now, if you want to receive my webpage updates by email instead of having to remember to visit every day, then you can opt to do so by…

The thing about “moving house” is that the first word in the phrase is a verb, implying action. The chief difference between that, and the task I performed on the weekend (or more correctly, FAILED to perform) was to take part in any action. It came as quite a shock to somebody as practised at…

Oh rapturous day – I'm almost convinced that we can describe Adelaide as a city now! This is an ongoing discussion between the residents of the place, and pretty much everyone outside of that group. Those wot lives here says it's a city, and pretty much everyone else says its a town. After visiting places…

Much as I hate to make sweeping and authoritative statements like the above, in this case it holds true. I have had the best piece of steak I think I'm ever likely to have. I had parked my car outside Vlado's Charcoal Grill on a prior trip to Richmond, and had mistaken it for some…

Late March must be a time of change. On Monday we had a guy leave the company to go on to bigger and better things. I know that people come & go all the time, but I guess when someone was part of the initial furniture in an 8 person outfit, the loss of one…

I'm completely aware that I've slacked off AGAIN in the website stakes. My spare time at present has been occupied with writing the “subscription” system for the site so I can have the postings emailed out to whoever wants them. The good news is it's pretty much working, so when I get a second I…

Hey, how cool was Chopper Squad ?? I only just remembered it then whilst browsing through a site about old Australian TV shows ! No idea what I was doing there i the first place… but yeah, god, I'd completely forgotten about Chopper Squad. My brother and I used to love watching that, at the…
