We’ve had a great time so far back in Melbourne. Staying with family, visiting old friends, sleeping in (to a degree), bitching about the traffic and inclement weather like the locals we once were. Reminiscing about events and good times…
Look, I know I live pretty much day to day, going with the flow and trying to live a carefree life in the heart of hippyville these days, but fuck me; how did it get to 3 weeks to Christmas…
I’m sitting here on a Wednesday night waiting for Grace’s six-a-side soccer to be over and done with. It’s just started raining, I don’t know where Albi is (and frankly don’t care), I haven’t, and won’t even bother watching the…
Last night I watched Grace, aged 9, take on her first full-on adults rollercoaster at Dreamworld. She loved it of course and is now planning her assault on the new death-trap spew-machine at Movie world (I hate rides). Not one…
appy birthday my love. I hope you are having a party to end all parties wherever you may be. We did what we could down here. We made a cake, we dined out and toasted to you. We even drank…
Do you have problems getting your kids to eat vegetables? Well so have I/we for as long as they have been on this earth. Hiding them in stewy dishes, giving them fun names or making crap pictures on their plates…

Yesterday, in retrospect, turned out to be one of those days that I wasn’t exactly an a1 model parent. You would think that waking up to a stunning Byron Bay winter morning, after 2 weeks of bed hopping in the…
Yesterday I found myself sitting on the beach in the glorious winter sun on a Sunday afternoon. Grace and a friend were playing happily in the shallows while Albi tried time and time again, in vain, to join in the…
Today I just couldn’t be arsed. I barely slept a wink last night for some reason (pretty sure it wasn’t the vodka) and woke up to pouring rain and a similar sleep deprived mental state. Kinda reminded me of those…
One thing I really struggle with on a daily basis is focus. Not on work, the washing, cooking, cleaning or the myriad of other minutiae we get consumed by when running a house. I mean focus on the kids. I…
It’s been a while between posts, sorry about that. The last half of the year is particularly hard for me these days. Not to worry, here is something I’ve been ruminating on for months now that I finally got around…
