Dad all better!

Well, mostly.  After getting sick of staying in my hotel room in Sydney and being unsure about when I would be allowed to drive I ended up getting a rental car and driving back from Sydney on Friday.
So after two nights at Mum and Dad’s I went to the doctor to check if i was [...]

Inappropriate Number Plates

I was parked near a funeral home today (H***** Brothers) and the owners car was outside.
The number plate was HB 007.
Is it right that a funeral home should have a “license to kill” as would be said in any decent James Bond movie?

Blogging Spam

Is everybody else getting huge amounts of spam on their blogs?
I got so sick of it that I instaled akismet spam filter late last year (sorry that there is no link, it’s late and I’m tired, and also smell slightly like vomit, read Meegs’ last post to see why).
So how much spam has it blocked..

This time last year…

Here’s just a few out of the hundred’s (literally) of pictures we took over Christmas time last year. In our defence, it was our little boy’s very first Christmas :)

After having a browse through last year’s photos, I’d forgotten how big (think many rolls, like the Michelin Man) Owen was!

And last year, I got to [...]

The hanky

How come a fifteen month old decides that he needs a hanky in his pocket to be complete…  Even when he doesn’t have a runny nose!
Might have to find some kid size hankies… Marc’s are just too big to fit in toddler size pockets :)

Bathurst Day

If you don’t care about sport please don’t bother reading this post.
The annual day of nothing but motor racing happened again today (despite having to show the Suzuki to a few potential buyers that meant I missed the first couple of hours).
To say it was eventful is probably the understatement of the year. With [...]

And we’re in

The packing has nearly been completed, there are new homes for everything – much to Marc’s delight – you can’t unstack the dishwasher if you don’t know where everything goes :)
Owen’s having a ball finding all sorts of new things to look at and places to explore. 
Our internet is not hooked up yet (Telstra being [...]

Sleepness nights no more?

Gee I hope so :)
Last night the Boy slept through til now – 5:30am!  It’s dark outside and the birds are just starting to wake, but Owen’s raring to go.  And surprisingly, I am too.  We have left Dad to have a ’sleep in’ (definition: any sleep, including broken, after 6am).
What a difference one full [...]

Hogan’s Heroes – Mexican Style

In a case of life imitating art it seems that the best way to smuggle drugs from Mexico to the US is a Hogan’s Heroes style tunnel.
Read the full story here.
I wonder if there were bunk beds that lifted up for access to the tunnel?
Apparantly when the Police arrived there was a security [...]

When you haven’t got anything else to talk about…

…you talk about the weather of course!
As I sit here typing away, it’s 35.5 degrees at 6:04pm…
It has actually gotten warmer over the last hour or so, not cooler as you would expect…
Enough whinging about the heat.
Better go and do something to take my mind off it :)
