Something to Do

It’s day two of my long service leave, and already I’m pretty sure I want to go back to work. I planned for this, as well. Gave myself a huge to-do list, planned out each day, and made sure to get a new number so that I could totally disassociate myself from work and everything …

A Frosty Scoop

I got me the story of the century, so I have. I’m gonna blow this one wide open for the whole world to see, you see! I can see the headlines now: Pondelia Whimsy Makes Home Out of Frosted Window Glass: Does Money Literally Drive Folks Crazy? More at 11! Of course, there won’t be …

Incredible Solar Panels

Oh, how my opinions have changed for the better. Time was when I thought that solar energy was destined to fail because those panels being out in the rain would cause all the power to wash off. Then I did a bit of research and found out that they have a special reflective coating that …

Own It!

My daughter’s new apartment is lovely, but I’m a little bit disappointed, if I’m honest. I’ve always felt that half the point of owning property is being at liberty to customise it, yet she’s opposed to anything that might interfere with the fresh-out-of-the-box quality that currently characterises the place. She won’t even put hang pictures …

This body has such limited storage space… And now, the questions have started. “What do I get for my parents?” …

Future Fishing

I always knew, deep down, that Jayne wasn’t telling the truth. All of her answers were just a little too easy. Like, if I fell into a time portal and emerged fifty years into the past, and they asked me about all this stuff like how electricity has developed, what cars look like and how …

Deep Aluminium Thoughts

Finally, the ‘Trumpeting Moon’ brain teasers seem to be increasing in quality again. A few duds have made their way onto the pages as of late, but today’s was so absorbing that I almost missed my train stop. Had to dart out the doors at Richmond station, and my bag almost stopped the doors from …

Everything is Wrong

The water in Mornington tastes weird. I noticed this very quickly, after I drank part of a glass of it. It’s not nice, and this is just one more reason we all need to move back to the city as soon as possible. Everything here is so incredibly open, the birds are too loud, and …
