We had lunch at Peaceful Bay on Saturday. We would not normally have ventured so far for a meal in the current circumstances but it’s coming up to the end of the financial year and we still have some fuel money left. I haven’t been out west for some time […]

Strictly speaking, this particular example worked itself out way back in 2014 but I only became acutely aware of it recently and once again is an example of what happens when your throw something out. Back in 2013 or so I bought an iPad and loaded it up with a […]

I made a pizza for tea tonight. I cut out a section for Chris so that I could make a ham and pineapple bit for him and the rest I made into sort of a supreme for Mum and myself. I forgot the onion. It turned out pretty good, but […]

I have an old Razer Blackwidow Something Something keyboard that I use on my main computer and for the last [long period of time] I’ve been looking at it and thinking, “that keyboard is really dirty, I should clean it” except I never did that because the computer was always […]

Many years ago, like maybe 13, I was sitting in the restaurant at Cicerellos when my sunglasses dropped onto the concrete floor and cracked one of the lenses. They were unserviceable but I kept them because I… was an idiot who didn’t want to throw away a $300 pair of […]
