Stood up and stretched the other day here in our holiday unit, only to find that my progress was impeded by the ceiling fan. I can happily report that the Mythbusters are correct in busting the myth that a ceiling fan can lop off a head. My thumb is still in place, although a bit [...]

too lazy to get a photo up for you, but we enjoyed a fantastic walk along the kalbarri riverfront this evening, just as the sun set. just love the light here at that time of evening… something really magic about and tranquil. except for the crazy wind up here, absolute paradise.

For folks who don’t understand what country driving in Western Australia means, [...]

On the way to Kalbarri for a couple weeks – should be a great time of chilling in a quiet spot. Haven’t ever stayed up there – only usually pass through it, so this will be a first for us all.

“Ask her to wait a moment – I am almost done.”
- Carl Friedrich Gauss, when informed that his wife is dying
i find this one funny because it rings perhaps a little too true in our household! and doubly so if there’s a computer involved…
