Let me illustrate a typical Todd family exchange for you. First a little background. The senior members of the team have acknowledged that we are carrying a little too much bulk around with us and have embarked on a programme referred to as "fat girl/boy slim". Or, as anyone else would call it, a diet. …

Une Petit Soiree
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 …

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 …
Some Things Change
Some things are constant, wherever you are and bad customer service needs to be added to the traditional death and taxes. I got stuck on the platform at Wynyard station on Monday evening for about forty five minutes. Now I know why. For those who can’t, or won’t, read the Sydney Morning Herald there were …
To Be In England in the Autumn Time
Bugger. Not only am I missing Ben Folds playing in London next month, but today I found out that Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook are getting back on stage together. If I was still in the old smoke I would be there, front and centre singing along slightly out of key. Oh well, I’ll have …
