You are here.
One of the ever-present questions you face when you live on the other side of the planet from all your lifelong friends and family is “What are you doing for Christmas ?”. This year I teamed up with Craig, Kate, Nick & Cindy and went on a Haggis Tour to Wales. And what an awesome…
Finally, after much anticipation and plenty of impatient questioning by the Welsh tour crew, the moment has finally arrived. I'll copy in the email that Tim sent me, cos quite frankly I'm too excited to think of anything to say… It is with immeasurable excitement, proudness and not to mention tiredness, that i'd like to…
Every fibre of my being wants to lambast the rail system for starting our weekend away in top style with a train that was about an hour late. I'm told however that late-running trains are part of the privatisation measures implemented following the breakup of the Government rail monopoly in Britain, and they've been particularly…
I'm not entirely sure whether Tim (my brother, for the uninitiated) sent me this for promotional purposes, to demonstrate that the pressure of impending fatherhood was all getting too much for him, or perhaps to indicate his next career direction… but it seemed a shame not to share what's evidently this season's look.

It just goes to show that you can never tell how people are going to interpret things. We've just had a bloke wandering around in our area asking if anyone can help him with “Skippy”. I was ready to have him shipped off to the funny farm on the spot, but after questioning it seems…
Here is a picture of our kitchen on Monday, after our awesome cleaner had been through. Here is a picture of our kitchen this morning. Note that there's only a few plates stacked next to the sink – that's because the rest were still on the floor in the loungeroom. My housemate, despite being home…
I don't want to try to rub it in anyone's face about how eclectic my musical tastes are, but after the last couple of weeks you'd have to start to wonder… First cab off the rank, which I cunningly forgot to mention, was the Xavier Rudd gig on the 26th of Nov. Having only ever…
Ah, much better ! My SECOND ever sudoku took 20 mins, and not a single profanity to erase! Right, so I've clearly mastered that. Time to go discover cold fusion, or train some Bulgarian swearing whelks, or something.
