We took the opportunity of a public holiday on Wednesday for a day out. We took the boys, along with Emma and Elli, to Sydney Wildlife World to look at the animals and stroke some koalas. The weather was suitably Australian and luckily we remembered to pack rain wear for everyone. Of course the smaller …

Holiday Snaps
We just got back from a rather nice holiday in Jervis Bay. We took Aunties Ju-Ju and Nor-Nor as well as cousins Phoebe and Maddie. The weather was gorgeous and we made it to the beach every day. I even took the shark biscuit for a spin. I did spend most of my time in …
All Is Right In The World Again
One of the things I missed on our return from the mother country to the penal colony is the quality of the radio. A particular favourite of SWMBO and I is the master of the microphone and genius broadcaster Mr Danny Baker. The Candyman’s breakfast show on BBC Radio London was the listening highlight of …
Did I Mention That I’ve Got A New Job?
This is not me. Honest. I gave up smoking seven years ago.
Somewhere Else
For those that care, I just took delivery of the latest Marillion album. Six days early. Its called Somewhere Else and impressions so far are favourable.

To make the anticipation all the more delightful it appears that Boo Hewerdine has been co-writing with Mr …
New Job
I started my new job this week. Details are on my other blog here. That will have to do for now. I’m too tired after a week of information overload.
School Boy
I have been remiss. A bad parent even. JFGP started pre-school nearly a month ago and I haven’t mentioned it here. To make up here is a photo I took of number one son on the morning of his first day at Ivanhoe Park Pre-School. Complete with TtTE backpack chock full of healthy snacks and …
Not Even By Scarlett Johansson
As previously mentioned Lloyd Cole is coming to Sydney. He is playing at the basement on Tuesday the 17th of April. I’m going, is anyone with me? Drop me an email or call me up and I’ll get you a ticket as well. Oh, and I should thank Andrew Collins for almost incidentally reminding me …
Matthew, H and Katy
The 70’s throwback went to the recent Marillion get together in Holland. He’s so hip he took his big sister. Together they managed to corner the singer and take this photo. Notice the slightly false smile on the bloke in the middle. Thats because the car salesman to his right has a knife poised around …
