Having spent an evening in the company of a cat, my Groover is returned to me. “Did the cat punch you in the eye?” says my witty daughter. This is why we don’t have a cat. Maybe this song will make him feel better…

Today on the Fremantle line, we got to City West when the train driver said ”A fire alarm has activated in the Perth station and you need to de-train here and walk into the city.” We all got off the train and watched as our driver bravely took off into the inferno that wasn’t the [...]

Taken on my iPhone I’m feeling a bit lost for words really. I know, I know, not before time. This photo was taken on my morning walk. No I don’t know who the woman is, or her child. They looked idyllic there with their floppy hats and then just as I was taking my shot [...]

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 [...]
See I didn’t think you would need a lesson but then, probably, you’re not 14. It has taken nearly two years but finally we have got cable which means we can now use my old bakelite phone as the house phone. Ahhh I am quite excited but the rest of the family, less so. Groover: [...]
