We’ve had some visitors to Sydney recently. Whilst I’m sure they had a lovely time it is nice to see the back of them, and their fence. I just wonder if the extraordinary police powers are going to disappear quite so quickly. In other news, I’ve lost my job. Fear not, gentle reader, for that …

Nicknames
It’s taken over two years but finally we have a nickname for the youngest member of the team. Unlike JFGP and his Mum this one took a little bit of bedding down. May I introduce you to MIGO Todd. This one isn’t an acronym so if you hover your cursor over the word there is …
A Bit of a Blow
We were out and about at Balmoral Beach on Saturday morning. During some of the worst weather seen in these parts for some years. The swell was so bad that people (well, lunatics) were surfing off Rocky Point Island which is adjacent to the beach. Of course the smaller members of the party were oblivious …
Orange Haircuts
Some photographic proof that I am taking care of the children. This is the results of Olly’s second haircut (and the first one that didn’t get cut short by his screaming). SWMBO would like me to apologise for the side parting, but what can I say, our local barber is a traditionalist. On the positive …
Walking In The Rain
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 …
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 …
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 …
Bedroom Construction
We bought bunk beds in the January sales. The family then assembled them. Here is the photo evidence – Assembling the bunk beds. Next I can feel a fascinating photo essay showing you all how I take out the rubbish. Or not, we’ll see if the muse hits.
Todd Family Christmas Picture
Last year we sent out a photo of the tin lids with our Christmas cards. You can see it to the left of these words. A seasonal theme and some (vaguely) smiling children, what more could you want? This year we had a flash of inspiration. We were off to watch the England v NSW …
