Fishing…on the MOON

Our dear brother has recently been talking about terraforming, and given the strength and commitment of his speech, I see no reason to doubt him. It was a great day at the meeting where it was announced: our Lunar Kingdom will have life, and life in abundance! Of course, some dissented, saying that we would …

A Couple of Good Sports

Moving out of the city was definitely the right choice. Tonia feels the same – even though she misses the social hubbub of Melbourne, I think she’s totally into the challenge of starting up a scene of her own out here. Her order of business at the moment is setting up a social sports group, …

Growing your own wedding flowers

You can call me a diva bride, but I do not trust wedding florists to get the flowers correct. I have been to too many weddings where the bouquet has clashed horribly with the colour theme.

TV Picture On the Blink

Satellite’s on the blink again. Don’t know why I felt the need to come on here and say that, but there you go. Maybe I’ve finally crossed over into the ‘old man ranting against society’ part of my retirement, only now we do it digitally! It’s been pretty bad ever since we had that big …

Solar Powered Beer

30Why, oh why, did we go into the craft brewing industry? That’s a bit melodramatic – I, for one, did it because I absolutely love making beer, and I think Jeremy feels the same. It’s just that, some days, it all seems overwhelming – days, for instance, when the energy bill rocks up. Talk about …
