When my dad died back in 2000 there was some money left over for my bro and I. On the strong advice of my very wise mother I did something practical with it and bought a washing machine. An LG Fuzzy Logic. As you can imagine I've had a rather unnatural love for this washing machine. He's … [Read more...]
I felt like its been a shit year. 2011 was really hard work. It felt so so long and for most of it I just wanted it to be over. I've often thought that I will look back on it as a really rough patch in my life. But as is the way this time of year, you start to reflect. And do you know what, I think … [Read more...]
First off, this was my favourite toy from this Xmas! Not because it was the one I played with the most, but because it sent me straight back to Xmas' of my youth. Cousin Trude and Cousin Jill had a big one of these which I completely dominated the use of between the ages of 5 and 8. Gay much??? This … [Read more...]
I am an absolute glutton for punishment. Have no idea why I do these things to myself. Yesterday I took on head-to-head the TRIPLE THREAT! I knocked off the Big 3 in one go - Ikea, Bunnings and Moore Park SupaCentre! Yes, I am the bravest man in the world. I. WILL. NEVER. BE. THAT. BRAVE. … [Read more...]

In fact, for the life of me I can't remember when I was last up this early on a Sunday, sometimes I'm not even home yet. So today is absolutely full of promise. I've already scanned the papers … [Read more...]

I had just turned 17 and every night I went to bed dreaming that I would one day win Olympic Gold and every morning at 5.30am my poor, long-suffering mummy would have to drive me to the pool for swimming training. I was completely obsessed and had been since I first … [Read more...]
Shit, sorry. I forgot to blog. Well not so much forgot but got distracted. And I am very easily distracted. I like to think that I have a full and rewarding life but the reality is that it's just goddamn busy sometimes. So what have I been distracted by? Let me tell you... Cousin Rachel's … [Read more...]
Happy Happy Joy Joy! Sound of Music Happy! Goddamn I’m in a good place at the moment and I feel like shouting it from the rooftops/laptop. First of all, I love Man Pit. So happy here. Really used to living alone now. I have my Clinique bathroom, my Diet Coke fridge, my vodka freezer, … [Read more...]
I’m just writing for me today. Please don’t feel I need a reaction or sympathy, or anything like that. I’m actually laying on a beach on Koh Samui wearing a moo moo and having a great time so I’m in a really good place – geographically and emotionally. But I can’t let today go by … [Read more...]
Spent a fantastic weekend in Cobar with my beautiful nieces and nephew. And the best tasting rissoles ever. Featuring Miss 7, Miss 5, Mr 2, Miss 1 (her 1st B'day!), Bro, Sis-in-law and the biggest kid of all, St. Murphy. Rissoles hand made by Sis-in-law. THE END! … [Read more...]
