This website is, I guess, a continuation of the playground stories, and also a reflection on the ones which are now folk lore. It's a place for us to just throw down not only the stories and thoug Site statistics:Click here
Dracula 2008-06-15 20:58:19 Last weekend I read Bram Stocker’s “Dracula
”. (I hear you “they made a book out of that movie?” mmmmm… )
The novel is 111 years old but it’s a cracker! I bought it on Thursday and finished it on Monday (which is good for me). I read the first page and I was hooked.
The really brilliant [...]
Perfect Tipper 2008-06-15 20:38:11 I just want to say (brag) that last weekend I tipped a perfect 8 winners in the AFL. And now the Chronicles is back up I can tell everyone! Read more:Perfect
The Chronicles of… Narnia 2008-06-17 07:50:04 Just wondering if we’re going to get a lot more traffic to our blog site by accident now that “Prince Caspian - the chronicles of narnia” movie is out here now in australian cinemas?
And given that I may just have used every google search phrase in that last sentence, we may just have an increase in [...] Read more:Narnia
Raising Kids 2008-06-27 20:32:51 Look, I’m not doctor child raiser or anything, but basically it all comes down to starting them off on the right path… Read more:Raising
Shiver 2008-06-23 21:08:21 Do you remember this song? I love this song, but it’s not on iTunes… I think I may have it on tape somewhere…

YY dreamin’ 2008-06-23 05:34:35 OK, so after watching tonight’s (repeat episode) Top Gear African special, I’ve been inspired… instead of spending a YY weekend in a house somewhere drinking beer and solving the problems of the world, why don’t we do some form of road trip?
Choose a vehicle and off we go… Great Ocean Road? Somewhere North? Somewhere West? [...]
Car thief! 2008-06-22 17:10:36 Watch out for your vehicles, there’s a big car thief about…
Linkin Biscuit 2008-07-10 20:04:24 Yesterday I was checking out the $10.00 CD tables at Fish Records in Newtown and came across “The Best of Limp Biscuit
”… WHAT? Didn’t he only have one song? How can you have a “Best Of” with only one song…?
Which brings me to another point… the $10.00 tables were very disappointing at Fish yesterday… nothing.
Anyway, [...] Read more:Linkin
It’s back on! 2008-07-10 19:56:52 It’s back on, it’s awesome, and there are bags under my eyes!
Go Cadel! And go Robbie McEwan!
I love this time of year!
World’s scariest man? 2008-07-10 04:04:47 Tell me this guy isn’t scary?
Also, I think he’s wearing Dorothy’s shoes, which means he’s probably related to one of the wicked witches and finally took revenge. Read more:World
Podcast 2008-07-10 03:55:21 Just in case anyone’s interested, I was interviewed for a podcast recently.

The Husqi, the Kwaka, and the Zuki 2008-07-09 01:35:06 Haven’t had time to blog about this, but a couple of weeks ago Nathan, larry and I went for a bike ride down to Bulli and back. Nathan was on his Husqi (Husqvarna 610 motard), Larry was on Nathan’s Kwaka (Kawasaki ZX9), and I was on the Zuki (Suzuki SV1000s).
I’ve done the ride down that [...]
Reflection on industrial estate church… 2008-07-27 19:27:36 Well here’s a bit more reflection on the “industrial estate church” up in Byron…
On the blog Pete made a comment that got me thinking… Pete said:
“I hope that they can give God glory in the context that they’re in.”
And I think they were… well I’m sure they were.
I think the issue for me is that [...]
No title 2008-07-26 02:41:50 One minute and thirty four seconds… that all that separates Cadel from winning the Yellow Jersey and being the first Aussie to take out Le Tour de France.
I’m going to be up late again tonight! If you only watch one stage of Le tour, tonight’s gotta be the one. Cadel probably wont start his time trial until about midnight [...]
Get Smart 2008-07-25 08:24:25 Fi and I saw Get Smart
at the $7.50 lounge cinema in Byron Bay.
I was expecting the same sort of silliness that the TV show had but I was surprised…
Maxwell Smart was not the same incompetent buffoon of the TV series! In fact in this movie MAx is quite competent… He’s a crack shot with [...]
Industrial Estate Church… 2008-07-25 08:23:52 Fi and I were up here in Byron on Sunday so we thought we’d go to church. We had no idea what, where, or when that would be until Fi saw a sign on the local notice board for a church in Byron that had a service at 10am (10am was a good time for [...] Read more:Industrial

Holiday in Byron Bay 2008-07-22 23:17:09 Fi and i are just spending the week up in Byron
on a “Babymoon”…
“Babymoon?” you say…
Yes, well apparently that’s what you call a pre-baby holiday… It doesn’t really roll off the tongue, and it sounds a bit dicky, but… it’s a holiday… and our last one ever without kids.
So we’re up here in sunny and [...] Read more:Holiday
The Future… 2008-07-20 05:10:54 So I realised recently that there are going to be some big decisions needing to be made in the future concerning our place of residence.
This is how the realisation it came about…
I was sitting listening to the sunshine the other day, thinking about sport, namely the great game of AFL, and thinking about how one [...] Read more:Future

I’m still amazed how the humble sandwich press is able to turn a seemingly meagre cheese & tomato sandwich into a full and tasty meal!
I make a sandwich. I put it in the press. light turns green. Cheese melts. Tomato is hot. Hey presto! It’s not a sandwich it’s dinner!
Tree harvesting has never been so fun! 2008-08-06 18:19:02 I saw this machine on an episode of Grand Designs last week. It’s bloody amazing! They use this machine in Finland to harvest forests for log cabins etc. It’s awesome! It fells, strips, and cuts to set log sizes in about 25 seconds.
What will they think of next…? Soon we’ll be eating sliced bread!
The Sex Billboards… 2008-09-03 21:04:20 Um, hello? Has anyone spotted a problem with the rationale in taking down the “want longer lasting sex?” billboards? [The SMH article is here if you want more background]
The argument is that these billboards - which are text only - might be over-sexualizing our children. Now it might be the case (if they can read) that [...] Read more:Billboards

Dubbo RTA 2008-09-02 03:36:06 Dubbo RTA is a wonderful place with some very nice staff and I actually enjoy going there, most the time, which is good cause I do it as part of my job so am there quite often.
I’ve always found the RTA an interesting place, I like to watch people waiting in line and their reactions [...]
