Astute readers will have noticed that we’ve moved into a new house. Tomorrow we are opening the doors and admitting all and sundry to have a look around. If you are around the Northern Beaches after 2pm please do feel free to pop in and say hello. Invites went out to random people earlier this …

They’re All At It
I went to the tip yesterday, and not content with their own web page they have their own domain name. Although the keen eyed will notice the "under construction" notice. Then we have to revert to the Warringah council page for Kimbriki Landfill site. Lovely place it is too. On the refreshingly web site free …
New Address and Phone Number
I’ve updated the page on this web site that tells you where we live and how to contact us. I’m not going to link to it, think of it as a simple exercise for the reader to find the appropriate page and take note of our new address and phone number. Be warned as once …
Humbug Buggy
The essential Northern Beaches accessory – a three wheel "sports" buggy that’s about as much use as a chocolate fire guard. Which is irrelevant because JFGP absolutely loves sitting and being pushed around in the bloody thing. I won’t mention the fact that it’s too wide to fit through the checkout lanes at the supermarket …
A Gaggle of Gigglers
From the left – Milly Reeve, Elena Palmer, JFGP and Alice Reeve. I have it on good authority that they were all smiling because Robyn was outside the window doing star jumps. Sadly I can neither confirm or deny this because I was at work at the time. Whatever the ladies were doing has obviously …
The Comedy Stylings

He is pictured here taking his ease at Cafe Beltree at Margan Family Wines in the Hunter Valley. As you can see he’s demonstrating …
An Awful Lot of Web Sites
One thing that has changed in these parts since we’ve been away is that more people and organisations seem to have discovered this here inter-web-net thingy. Here is just a short list of the web sites I saw advertised on my way to work this morning; The Steyne Hotel, Manly one for Mr Rose that. …
Walking Tall
I’ve been looking through our recent photographs of JFGP with a view to posting some highlights of his new found walking talents here. I was trying to find a way of describing just what a big thing this is to all of us at Chez Todd when I came across this post by Eric Meyer, …
Reflections
This morning, at a rather early hour I discovered that we don’t actually have a mirror in our bathroom. My face looks like it has been in a wrestling match with Mr Gillette and come out a very poor second best. This is not a good thing, so anyone thinking about putting a snitty remark …
Moving Day
It’s moving day and I have the keys to our new house in my pocket. Which doesn’t stop me from being in trouble – as usual. Besides the heinous crime of going to work to pay the rent on our new home today instead of being knee deep in boxes I find that I am …
