Christmas Day has arrived…a big day which can be frantically busy for some, through to totally relaxed for others. We are having the latter…a casual get together with family, including the furkid…just perfect… The weather is forecast to be hot…very hot…so we are hoping there no bush fires like there were last year. And on […]
Back in the old days, our post box would be filled with Christmas cards…fast forward till now, and we have only received a handful. I even wrote a post back in 2014 about how receiving Christmas cards were becoming rarer…and it seems nothing has changed. I should mention that receiving cards still happens…for us, the […]

Finally we had some hot weather forecast…albeit only for a day…so we got up early and head out for an adventure with our furkid before the heat hit. We decided to go into the city, starting with a circuit around the 3.8km Tan…this a well known walking track in Melbourne. It goes around Kings Domain […]
So today is my birthday…another year survived and another step closer to the big 50! It’s funny, as I get older, I feel younger…like I am still in my mid-thirties. But the grey in my hair, and the lines on my face tell the real truth. My body has been somewhat badly behaved this last […]
