Proof of life at the half-year mark

Jun

2019

It is the half year mark, and despite meagre offerings here, I really have done a lot with myself this year. Personally, and creatively, I have written 70,000 words in the best part of about four months (February to May) with is the most sustained length of writing I’ve done in far too long. But ...

2018 and 2019 and wow…

2018

So you know I really have had a pretty decent year. Some really good things happened — like going to Canberra twice as part of the Hardcopy 2018 program, to a family trip to Bathurst where we went to the National Motor Racing Museum among other things, to watching Alex graduate primary school and win ...

Happy birthday to me…!

Another birthday, another day… quiet but nice. My boys are so good to me… constant “happy birthday’s” all morning, and afternoon, and night 🙂 Got to do some work at home for a couple of hours… totally legit stuff configuring iPads when they can’t be done at school. Let myself make a birthday lunch: Homemade ...

Well that’ about all there is for it now… I’mn the father of a teenager. But I couldn’t be happier. Happy birthday Will, it’s so great to see you here 🙂 He’s had a quiet day today, which is how he likes it really, with his new Jim Henson book (the boy loves big colour ...

Big week and big milestones

2017

So it’s five weeks into 2017 and all I’ve done so far is work. No harm in that of course, five full weeks at the shop (except when I was sick that is around Australia Day) where the work was rarely particularly exciting, but at least it was there and it was solid and paid ...

Christmas time!

It really is the season… despite the 40 degree weekend weather, the boys made sure we put this up… They did nearly all the work so it’s good to see them enjoy it 🙂 And I’ve almost never seen them all together in a pic so well! Bring on the season… Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailLike this:Like Loading...

A wonderful day for Alex

Happy birthday to Alex! The big 10 today! Alex had such a wonderful day today, from getting his big car book and his beloved Volvo 940 model this morning, to a surprise party at school with a cake and his classmates (and a beautiful card from his younger brother’s class). Then after school he received ...

So that was Back to the Future day…

2015

It’s been Back to the Future mania all day online, as every news outlet and company on earth sought to tie into the fact that today, October 21 2015, is the day that Mary McFly jumps to in Back to the Future 2. And it’s ranged from the predictable to the weird to the fun, ...

I feel pretty good. I’m healthy, happy and enjoying my position in the world. I now run my own business but I work at the high school still as well, and I’m doing interesting and entertaining work. I help people do useful things and I’m happy doing it. But that’s not all I have — ...
