How my mother and I are different
My mother is a hoarder. Not the obsessive-compulsive kind, where it looks like her house and yard are having a permanent garage sale, but probably somewhere middle on the scale. I, on the other hand, am rather Buddhist-like when it comes to possessions (except books!)
Anyway, last night mum and dad went out to tea, leaving […]
When I don’t have much to say
I’m really on holiday mode now. My mind is pretty much mush. I can’t help but think it’s ironic that the weather here is comparitively mild, whereas in my home state, its blistering hot.
(Note I said home state! Does that mean I’m becoming “mexican”, as most New South Welshmen call any Victorian)
I believe Adam’s father […]
Was that me?! Really?!
“I have a clear memory of miscmum’s tears when she turned 20, upon her realisation that she was halfway to 40. Remember that? What is your opinion on that particular frame of mind now, miscmum? Do you still wish you were 20 or are you happy with the experiences you have accumulated since then?”

(I must have a hang up about getting older.)
I’ve gotten flowers (thank you husband). I’ve […]

What […]
Back in the game, baby!
Please excuse my exuberance, but I have just single-handedly managed to get my parent’s broadband back up and working. Boo-yeah! *gratuitous pelvic thrust time*
You would understand my position if you could see the set up here in my parent’s study: it’s an intestinal tract of cables, of the likes I haven’t seen since Adam’s famous […]
Misc Mum leaves civilisation
Hi all. It’s Adam here.
I’m writing this post on behalf of Misc Mum who is unable to find any internet access. She is currently holidaying with her parents up in the sunny (and very warm) town of Kempsey. Telstra decided that this week would be good time to upgrade her parents Internet plan (for […]
