Good Coffee News
People, there is good news about. The local purveyors of that hideous slop that the Americans call coffee is shutting most of their Australian stores. With a bit of luck my fellow Australians will stay away from the remaining stores in droves and they will shuffle off back to the land of the styrofoam cup. Well, a chap can hope.
I, meanwhile, will be buying my daily skinny cappuccino at a decent coffee shop for local people.

Way to Normal
People, good news. Ben Folds has a new record coming out called “Way to Normal”. It’s out in September, remarkably close to my birthday. Hearing this news has made my day. For more information check out the details in an interview in the (previously unknown to me) magazine called Paste.

3rd Birthday Boy
After a quick weekend trip to the Blue Mountains (where SWMBO only tried to kill me to death by hypothermia) this weekend we celebrated MIGO’s 3rd birthday in the traditional fashion with cake and fire.
If you look closely you can see that the birthday boy is wearing his present from his grandparents. He hasn’t taken off the superman suit since unwrapping it on Tuesday. Which is frankly a bit worrying and will soon be a little too smelly. I shall have to start a psychological campaign to convince him to take it off.

Technology sometimes works
All, after being off the inter-web-net for most of the last six weeks we are now back online and talking to you via a much ‘fatter’ pipe (ooh err missus, etc.)
Which means that we may finally be able to converse with people in the mother country via this here computer. I’ve downloaded and fired up Skype and if you want to call me send me an email and I’ll let you know my user name.

Birthday Boy
Today marks the occasion of JFGP’s fifth birthday. To celebrate here is a photograph that I didn’t take today. He had a great day, with presents galore and a full family birthday tea.
This morning he went to clown town and this afternoon he had his hair cut in the local salon, for an amount of money that would keep me in haircuts for about six months. I’m not saying our children are pampered or anything but I’m busy figuring out how I can swap places with them.
