As you might know, I moved out of my house on the 27th of February. The next day, the 28th, I cancelled all of my utilities (phone, power, internet, cable). Cancelling the Foxtel cable service involves returning the set-top unit to them, and in previous houses they have sent someone over to pick it up.… Continue reading The “TEL” is for Telstra

My new Niece / Nephew
My sister Michelle has given me the latest ultrasound pics of her baby, tentatively named Ruby or Sampson. You can see the spine and fingers (they are the white dots). It is now 6cm long (about 2.5 inches for the primitives) and looks healthy, no problems. How exciting.

Just got home from my ‘friends’ birthday dinner (as opposed to the ‘family’ birthday dinner). What a great time, at my favourite restaurant: Taiki in Lane Cove. I can still taste the Kabayaki* now, what heaven! I have a great bunch of friends and I am sure that we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Chris,… Continue reading Best birthday ever
