I was seventeen…

My girlfriend Rosie had her licence and a car and we had just recently discovered marijuana. We were driving up towards Bridgewater hoping to find a bloke that Rosie knew, so that we could score a stick (a small amount of marijuana wrapped in foil)
On the drive up [...]

A blank screen..

I have just had a quick look through my drafts, in the hope that I would find a half written post that I would feel like finishing. Nope!! No luck. Nothing in there grabs my attention this morning.
I could be inspired by the upcoming American Thanksgiving holiday and list some things that I am thankful [...]

Learning to draw.

I can’t draw for nuts. I can do a passable doodle and I can cartoon after a fashion, but the ability to look at something and then draw it accurately is beyond me.

Boganvillainy…

I just love that word..
Boganvillainy.
For my foreign readers Bogan is an Aussie slang term used to describe a certain class of people. Americans have white-trash. Aussies have bogans.

This is the text and the images that my shells are sitting on. You [...]

It’s a hard life…

It is so hard when I get up in the morning and before I even have my first cup of coffee.
I see this…

Then my ears are assaulted by the deafening racket of these buggers arriving.

Finally I have made my coffee and I am just about to have my first sip when I look out the [...]

Happy Birthday Veronica….

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

And in honour of my gorgeous daughter, she of the sleepless nights and busy days. The erstwhile inventor of the fantabulous word schwacker. She of the mousecepades and indoor ponds and how could we forget her vibrator reviews.
I present three photos of the [...]
