JFGP is rather taken with the ball pool at Red Rover. He’s taken to climbing up the ramp and jumping in without any sign of fear. I think we may have a fearless adventure junkie on our hands.

Gunpowder, Treason and Plot
Yesterday was an interesting day. It started with a trip to Sydney airport at an extremely early hour and ended in Royal North Shore emergency department. In the mean time we did manage to celebrate the foiling of a fiendish Catholic plot. Sadly my plan to acquire some fireworks came to naught so we had …
Housekeeping
I’ve made a small change-ette to the sidebar. There is now a section exclusively devoted to my photographs. Take a look to the left and click on a link. A small tip though, if you’ve got a flickr account (or sign up for one, they are free) then let me know. Then you will get …
Its Spring Again, I’ll Sing Again
It would appear that spring is with us again as the cricket is on Channel 9 today, sadly without Mark Nicholas, which will displease my Mother as she’s a big fan. The good news is that SWMBO gave me a membership in the Doug Walters club for my birthday. This gives me free entry to …
Belated Birthday Boy
I did have a very nice birthday. I’m still just a tad busy which is why it’s taken me a week to say so. JFGP here is demonstrating my present from the Reeves. It’s a neoprene bottle holder for keeping your beer cool at the beach. Every home should have one. Thanks to the locals …
Relaxing
It’s not all been hardcore SQL (for me) and wall to wall vomiting (Oliver) at Todd towers in recent weeks. Yesterday, for instance, we were lavishly entertained by the Reeve family at their mansion in North Sydney. After a lunch of finest Ungarie lamb we discussed topics of pith and moment over a glass or …
Wishing and Hoping
Doesn’t time fly when you’re holed up at work twelve hours a day for six and a half days a week. You’ll be pleased to know that I managed to carve out a little of my copious free time to update my wish list today. Feel free to celebrate any upcoming anniversaries or national holidays …
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
To those who have noticed a lack of updates to this page in recent days may I offer this homily. Call it "Andrew’s first law of blogging" When your web site has been updated more recently than mine you can start calling me a slacker. I’m busy. Deal with it. There will be (hopefully) daily …
Smiling at Mummy
We went to the Zoo this morning. Luckily I had my camera with me and managed to squeeze off a couple of shots. This one of JFGP smiling at his Mum is probably the pick of the bunch. The rest are available at my flickr page. Oh and you’ll need to sign in because most …
Doing Chores
Today we have mainly been doing chores. The major project of the day was to fix one of the slats in JFGP and "the Juice"’s cubby house. It was looking run down when we moved in, and it’s only taken me ten months to get the materials together to replace it. Sadly I was deficient …
