Move along if you don’t like the game, I’m going to talk about the Ashes. Reading the Sydney newspapers today you’d be forgiven for thinking that the drawn game at Old Trafford was the greatest victory since Don Bradman played the game. Does no-one remember the confident predictions before the series started? The colonials are …

A Line Out
We went to the Olympic stadium on Saturday night to watch the Bledisloe Cup match. Australia were very average and the All Blacks showed a little of the spark the displayed against the Lions. Luckily I did take my camera with me and managed to get some half decent shots with my telephoto lens. There …
Adventures
Tonight I’m off to see the Wallabies vs the All Blacks at the Olympic stadium (as was). I’m very excited because we’ve got rather good seats. I’m even more excited because I’m taking my camera. Hopefully with my telephoto lens I’ll be able to get some pictures of the action where you can actually see …
Celebrate Your Differences
I’ll be celebrating mine tomorrow, because it’s Left Handers Day. Come join me in awkward writing and cutting land, it’s really quite fun.

As a result of continued attendance at these events nothing that rises more than about fifty centimetres from the ground is sacred any more. The …
Drinking Ahoy!
To celebrate the birth of our second son it falls to me to celebrate in a fatherly style. To that end you are cordially invited to join me for a few cold drinks tomorrow night (the 28th of July, 2005) from 6pm at the Manly Wharf Hotel.
Home Sweet Home
We bought Oliver home from the hospital this morning. Everyone is settled in and rather glad to be back, or arrived in one case.
An Update and a Coincidence
Just back from visiting the family in the hospital and picking up JFGP from his evening visit to the Family Whiston (thanks guys). All is looking good and we’re off to pick up SWMBO and the littlest Todd tomorrow morning. The car seat is down from the loft and the bassinet is ready for some …
Portrait of a Small Boy
Here’s JFGP this afternoon in the kitchen. I’ve been getting some good pictures with my new lens and a willing subject. I think the credit for this one goes to a small boy though, not least for being very photogenic.
