I started my new job about two weeks ago and so far it is, well exactly like my old job.  For the last 4 years or so I have been working on the Australian and Border Protection account for IBM.  This has been challenging and at time frustrating, for the last 2 years of this [...]

A couple of weeks ago my brother was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  He went to his doctor about an enlargement in one of his lymph nodes in his neck.  After two biopsy’s they confirmed that he had Cancer.  A full body scan showed another enlargement in his chest cavity, indicating Stage 2 lymphoma. He start [...]

After the last couple of rides with the Fat Bastards Tourers, it was obvious that if I wanted to ride with them more regularly I needed to upgrade my transport to something more than 250cc.  My Honda Forza scooter has been the picture or reliability and practicality, taking me to and from work every day [...]

My mother has a little 50cc Honda scooter to get about the small city she lives in.  However on Sunday she had an accident and fell off the scoot and onto the traffic island in the middle of the road.  I only have a few details but it looks like mum clipped the concrete curb [...]

Dani went into hospital last Tuesday to have her right shoulder operated on.  The doctors diagnoses Bersitius a while back but were not keen to refer her to a surgeon.  However after 18 months since the incident  that caused the problem and the shoulder only getting worse, we insisted on the referal. So the operation [...]

Well I am still not well.  I am still getting headaches most days. My neurologist has given me a different set of tablets and at least they don’t effect my mood but they are not effecting my headaches either. So I have decided to attach this problem on several fronts.  I have found a Chinese [...]

Yesterday work had a big function for the end of the year. Each business unit head presented highlights of the year and the Matilda’s Coach (Australian women’s soccer team) gave a talk on team work. Drinks and snacks were laid on and it was all very nice. However the big surprise was that I was [...]

Ok the new year has snuck up on me and caught me totally unaware. Some of the things that have already happened this year: Changed the car over due to the old lease running out – now have a new Peugeot 307 Wagon (Diesel) Was made a job offer from outside my current company Had [...]

Ok I have been slack again.  For all you people that read my blog to figure out what I am doing (all 2 of you), I am sorry. I will spend the next day or so going through my photos etc and will have some new posts up in a day or so.

Apparently I do have a life during daylight hours. My family is seeing me before sunset for the first time in over 3 months. This has nothing to do with the longer days coming into summer and everything to do with the fact I am now working sensible hours.  The last two months of my [...]

As you may have noticed I have been very slack with updating my blog and photos.  This is due to the fact I have been working 60 – 70 hours a week for the last two months. Things should be back to normal in a week or so.

Well I have survived another year on this planet! With one year left before I hit the magic 40 I am happy with my life, family and future. We have all fitted into Canberra quiet well Dani is getting a good amount of casual work, the kids are doing well at school with my girl [...]

Ok since I have been so slack I thought I would do some updates. Work Recently I have had a promotion and a payrise, which was very pleasent. However this has meant that I have had a lot more work and pressure. Over the last 3 weeks I have been working long hours on very [...]
