Orange Haircuts
Some photographic proof that I am taking care of the children. This is the results of Olly’s second haircut (and the first one that didn’t get cut short by his screaming). SWMBO would like me to apologise for the side parting, but what can I say, our local barber is a traditionalist. On the positive side he has a large jar full of lollipops and these are largely to thank for the youngest member of the team enduring a sit in the barber’s chair.
You can see from this that JFGP still isn’t able to drag his eyes away from the television when it is on.
Also - just for Aunty Ju-Ju - much orange.

Walking In The Rain
We took the opportunity of a public holiday on Wednesday for a day out. We took the boys, along with Emma and Elli, to Sydney Wildlife World to look at the animals and stroke some koalas. The weather was suitably Australian and luckily we remembered to pack rain wear for everyone.
Of course the smaller members of the team love this kind of weather because it presents plenty of opportunities for jumping in puddles.

Holiday Snaps
We just got back from a rather nice holiday in Jervis Bay. We took Aunties Ju-Ju and Nor-Nor as well as cousins Phoebe and Maddie. The weather was gorgeous and we made it to the beach every day. I even took the shark biscuit for a spin. I did spend most of my time in the kitchen though, when I wasn’t snoozing.
Sadly I’m banned from publishing any photos of the last two on “that there internet” so you’ll have to make do with a snap of the littlest ankle biter in a rare quiet moment. He was either waiting for us to put Shrek on the DVD player or about to demand another game of Snakes and Ladders.
Its non stop action on our holidays.

All Is Right In The World Again
One of the things I missed on our return from the mother country to the penal colony is the quality of the radio. A particular favourite of SWMBO and I is the master of the microphone and genius broadcaster Mr Danny Baker. The Candyman’s breakfast show on BBC Radio London was the listening highlight of my day when we were living in Balham.
Well, this morning I got a chance to hear his dulcet tones again on my way to work on the North Shore train line and trudging up the Pacific Highway to the office. Because Mr Baker is podcasting. Get you and your podcatcher of choice lined up and pointed at that link (its also available on iTunes) for the most entertaining hour or so you will spend with your personal MP3 player this week. There is only one show up at the moment but it is comedy gold. Here’s hoping that there will be more episodes popping up soon.

Did I Mention That I’ve Got A New Job?
This is not me. Honest.
I gave up smoking seven years ago.

Somewhere Else
For those that care, I just took delivery of the latest Marillion album. Six days early. Its called Somewhere Else and impressions so far are favourable.
It has already made it to my iPod and will be accompanying me to work on public transport for the next couple of weeks. I’m not driving because the car has been commandeered by SWMBO to chauffeur our overseas visitors around. Ju-ju, Bee-bee and Mad-mad would like to say hello to all of my readers and have promised that they will stop vomiting any day now.
