Tomorrow morning we are driving back to Sydney to spend Christmas and New Years with family and friends. I doubt I will be posting between now and 7th or 8th of January after we have returned and got our life in back in order. 2005 has been a great year, I thought of doing aContinue reading “A Christmas break”

Ok, usually a new reader is not a big deal but this time it is. My son Ben, who is turning 8 in a couple of weeks, has decided to check in on what Dad does with this blog thing. He even left a couple of comments last night, thanks Ben.

A great time was had by all and I hope to put up some photos at some point in the future. I see some comment spammer left a few items for me to cleanContinue reading “It’s Monday”

Well for the next 8 days we (the family) will be spending every waking moment on planks hurtling down a mountain covered with snow while at night tucked away in our Snowy Mountains retreat at Charlotte Pass. Guess what, not blogging at all. In fact most modern day technology is not easily available. Mobile phonesContinue reading “Next week”
