Just a thought but when did you last add up a list of figures? When you sat, utterly confounded by simple addition that any 14 year old would breeze through, subtraction a tween would scoff at, multiplication and division “to-easy” for a prepubescent? And you call yourself a professional?! Continue reading
Wow! Now this is a great promotional product…you put the flexible gel sleeve in your freezer then slide a bottle of something fancy into it for transportation and chilling. The gel protects your bottle against breakage and the frozen gel rapidly cools the liquid. I don’t really know what else to contribute except to say, that over all other wine cooler and transport options, I think this has to be 2016’s standout effort! Continue reading
Well, it depend on one’s mood really, doesn’t it? At times we crave human contact and camaraderie, as though our existence depends on kinship. Of course it does, it’s part of our genetic makeup that we gravitate to those who are similar, it’s how we as a race have survived so far. It’s also in our nature to repel each other, whether at a personal or societal level. There are times when being alone in solitude, is divine and necessary to our mental balance. Continue reading
A weekend in Brisbane is enough to reinforce the need for a decent sun hat! last weekend, before the storm that grounded my aircraft for 2.5 hours – Grrrr, the good people of Brisvegas were treated to days of sweltering heat and when that big ball of fury broke through it’s rain filled clouds, it was relentless in it’s attack.

And what’s NOT to like in food and drink – except ardent food poisoning and wine containing Agent Orange (if consumed in large quantities)…. Continue reading
Cap Guns are great fun, similarly bows and arrows. Catapults fall into that category, as do air rifles and Bowie knives. These are all things I’ve owned as a child and reveled in their destructive power. Like a right of passage, owning and knowing how to use these “dangerous” tools was imperative in small country town culture. Continue reading
Making a Laserlight Shade for my home garden-Office yesterday, I was struck by how essential wearing a sunhat actually is in this climate! Continue reading
I’m not a massive lolly honker but I do like the occasional jelly bean. Recently while recovering from a rather nasty and traumatic eye operation, a parcel arrived from overseas from my sister containing a massive jar of jelly beans with a label “Dad’s Medicine”.
