Sometimes you just know it’s going to be a good night. When the invitations came out for Rachel’s 30th there was no doubt this was going to be night to remember, and when it finally rolled round on Saturday it didn’t disappoint.

It’s frightening where things end up once you put them out there on the World Wide Web. Keen followers of my blog will surely remember this particularly amazing entry in April last year. Long story short I didn’t have much to do over Easter so I put my effort into completing a particularly excellent paint […]

I’ve been cranking the iPhone for almost 2 years now, I was a reasonably early adopter but certainly wasn’t a pioneer. For some reason I thought no one in Adelaide would have one when I returned and couldn’t wait to trump my friends in the fancy phone department, unfortunately I soon discovered that pretty much […]

You know that scene in Edward Scissorhands where you first see what he can do with those things? I think he’s sculpting ice, or cutting a hedge or something cool like that. I think we can all agree it’s a pretty emotional scene. Well imagine if it were possible to attach a camera to a […]

Earlier this week I received a very exciting phone call. The man called me to tell me my boxes from the UK had arrived in Adelaide, been through quarantine and were ready for collection!! It only took 13 weeks too, nearly double the quoted time, their excuse? Recent cold weather in the UK delayed the […]

On Sunday I had the honour of being involved in the inaugural TEAR 30/30 charity cricket match. TEAR Australia works to help those in need both in Australia and abroad and in recent years have become well known for their World’s Most Useful Gift Catalogue which allows you to donate a goat or a well […]

Yesterday I returned from a weekend away in Victor Harbor. For those not familiar with the region Victor is to Adelaide what Brighton is to London, a beach side destination about an hour out of town. Except it’s different. If you replace Brighton’s rocky beach with nice natural sand, a tacky chav-filled jetty with a […]
