School is finished. And wow. I am now the parent of a nearly at university student. But before that happy day – hopefully – of a decent ATAR result and an offer to the preferred course – Science at UWA – the pocket money has been cut off. Now you might scream “Fair crack of [...]
I came home from work today, opened the door and was transported to the outer suburbs olfactorally speaking. To the tip to be precise… which may or may not be in the outer suburbs… I haven’t been there… that’s what rates are for. The kitchen bin REALLY needed emptying. But not onto the floor which is [...]
Just a video today. This is one of my favourites from my daughter’s early days. Here she’s about 14 months old. A determined wee lassie. Many people can’t watch this film without wincing. I’m not sure what it says about my parenting style but I can assure you that no children – or for that [...]

Last night at dinner we were discussing dominant partners in the couples we know. It’s pretty obvious (mostly) who calls the shots. Now I think Groover and I have a pretty equal relationship but it turns out I’m wrong. Very wrong. Yeah, we’re pretty equal… says Groover, as he forks in another mouthful of steak [...]
