A few years back my Grandad died after a prolonged illness. During that time my Dad stayed at our place in Brisbane and travelled up to the north coast to spend each day with Grandad. Over the last few months we all spent more time with Grandad. We all knew that Grandad was in the [...]

Well we have moved and we are connected to the world again.  We got all our furniture and stuff moved in about 4 hours, with the help of two very good friends and One Man Removals.  So a big thanks to Jason, Robert and Jeff from One Man Removals.  We were able to move all [...]

Firstly, as you know, we are moving to a bigger house with the same rent.  So this week we are doing all the organising… you know phone, power, internet etc. First the good. we get to keep the same phone number we get to keep the same postcode we are closer to my daughters school [...]

Over the last few weeks we have been so busy. We had a family Christmas in Brisbane and on returning home we had to start house hunting.  The owner the the place we are currently renting is coming back to Canberra and for some reason wants his house back. So we have found a place, [...]

To all I wish a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!,  and an apology for being late with these wishes. We have been away for the Christmas break, up with family in Sunny Queensland and now it looks as if we will have to move house before the end of the month. I [...]

Another year ….. it seems to go so fast. The day passes without comment now. I don’t expect the children to remember, there is no need for them to linger in sadness ……today is mostly for me. Its been 4 years now, since I lost my little girl. This year has perhaps brought it into [...]

Yesterday our family and some good friends of mine, Jase & Bec, went to Cowra for the Cherry Blossom Festival. We had a great day and took lots of photos. Cowra was the location for a POW camp in WW2, holding Japanese captured by Australian Soldiers. After Peace in the Pacific Cowra became the centre [...]

Ok today was an interesting day, started as usual driving to work. Like most people, I have to be careful of other traffic and pedestrians, however this morning I had to give way to a kangaroo as it crossed the road in front of me. Lunch time saw me drive to the city to have [...]

Last night on the news we saw an article on World Refugee Day and that some buildings in Canberra were specially lit for the night. So my daughter and I braved the 5 degree night and shot some photos. Rugged up we went out and passed the fountain lit in neon blue, we found a [...]

My wife had her surgery today, and it went well. She has been sleeping of the General today and I will get to talk to her and the doctor tomorrow.

Well the other day the house’s second computer decided to stop working. The thing would not stay turned on, it would just shutdown, if you were lucky it would run for 10 minutes then stop. So I had a look and figured out the power supply was not working right. The repairs will have to [...]

After my many, many ….. many problems with my health, struggling with my hormones, coping with my girly works becoming so unreliable that it was making me ill all the time. After fighting peri-menopause, struggling to fall pregnant and failing, and facing the fact of no more children. And after fighting doctors tooth and nail [...]

Well, I have to say that this mother’s day has been lovely, but probably not what hubby wanted to do. We have been so busy, with moving in, sorting out the house, kids etc …. and just generally freezing our bits off …… that he really hasn’t had time to organise anything. I did receive [...]

Well as you can imagine things have been a little hectic. I have started work, the kids have started school and Dani has already put her name down to help tuckshop and the P&C. Only got my broadband back yesterday, man talk about withdrawal. Work is crazy as usual, but at least I am busy. [...]

Ok we have just arrived in Canberra. Very good trip, long tiring but now complete. We are collecting the keys to the house tomorrow and our furniture arrives on Friday. I will post up some more information after a sleep.
