Tick Tock – The clocks go back

Wow! It always gets me….. It’s so light now into the evenings, perfect for a BBQ. Today was crazy with a trip to the Melbourne Show. The boys were spoilt with show bags and rides.

Spring has sprung after some torrential downpours that keeps filling the dams (irritating the hell out of the global warming nutters out there) and now we are on the home stretch to Christmas…already?

Karl Jnr turned 6………………… Would you believe it? What a six years it must have been for that chap who takes it in all in his stride. It really annoys me he can read, count, add and subtract while back in the late 70’s when I started school I had only been capable of a scrawl, how times have changed.

Disco’s, photo-shoots and total irritation

The end of September is here and Birthdays abound until Christmas. This month has been manic….. I played Mt Martha golf course with the family in tow and as a reward we went to one of our favourite wine farms for lunch. (are you 4sq'ed ?)

School Disco: Un-bloody-believable (please watch the video) – Bring us in, screw us by making us buy flashing things and then assault my ears with the Macarena . (I made sure I told my kids that only really sad people like this type of music and that they normally hang out at social clubs and have very low self-esteem)

This Saturday we did a photo-shoot on the beach – Fook me man, it was 12 degrees in the morning and I had to act happy and run up and down the beach (avoiding heart attack) looking happy while my shoes filled up with sand. Screw that! (did I mention I mow)

(checks Biorhythms) – October will be better.

The Production

What a day the 1st was. Trekking off to Franskton's Art Centre for my son's first play where he played a wolf (a miserable wolf as you will see in the video). It was a massive production with multiple sets which involved the whole school. We got home late and the kids were shattered.

I also put in a picture of his first "disco" - The monkey you ask...? It's a prop given to the kids to document their experiences of what interesting things the monkey gets up to.



The Production

Melbourne is No.1

It's official, Melbourne is the world's most livable city. WOW, with trains that don't run on time, expensive food and gang warfare we're doing pretty well. It's now the run into Christmas and our PC's are back up...... so old blogs will be populated with things done and remembered.

Our son will be in his first school production on the 1st and is quite excited...... Gen-Z hey, as long as they are better than the lazy Gen-Y's.

Back to school and a whole lot of shopping

New home - Priority No 1, how could I miss that the kitchen didn't have a dishwasher, or plumbing for one. So it was off to Clive's. After seeing all the bits and bobs that needed doing it was off to Bunnings... and again.....and again....and again. Karli also went to the local holiday camp to get a feel for his new school before starting term 3. And Martin.....when will he give up that dummy......
