OK, so it’s the title of a rather dodgy 1930′s science fiction comedy which, in turn, is taken from an almost equally dodgy expression of speech, but it IS true! Time DOES fly by when you least expect it to. Man, what a year it’s been….and oh so busy to boot! I don’t think I’ve [...]

Had to do a bit of “bat wrangling” the other night. Yes, every so often – especially over the summer – we have a bat flying around inside late at night, much to Amy’s displeasure. I hardly ever “see him, or her, straight away but I have a “presense” of something there. A shadow, a [...]

I’ve spent the best part of today cleaning the clutter from the house. It’s part of a HUGE ongoing thing that Amy and I have been doing these past couple of months – getting rid of all the excess junk from about the house and generally purging ourselves and trying to lead a less complicated [...]

Well it’s been a LONG time between drinks I must say! All productive I might add – just not of a “blogging” nature. In fact I’d have to say that I’ve been so removed from blogging that it’s gonna take a little time for me to get used to how WordPress works again. I think [...]

OK, now it’s getting a little weird for me around here at the moment. Strange things are happening and I’m not sure exactly why? My neighbor has serious issues when it comes to the handling of his own dog. I’ve talked about one particular issue here in the past which was quite an event – [...]

When I first moved into this house it was summer. The days were very hot (as they normally are down here) but the house was cool – and in so many ways! Now normally it takes about five days of 35+ degree heat (95+ degrees fahrenheit) for this house to become uncomfortable. Being made of [...]

As with yesterday I spent quite a bit of time outside today. The days are getting shorter and colder as winter slowly creeps in. Sure, for the most part it’s still sunny most days here in Melbourne, but some of those sunny days are punching out their time clocks as rainy and overcast days punch [...]

When I first moved in here I inherited a dead person. Well, maybe not a “person” as such. More like one eighth of a person. Of course I didn’t quite realize this at the time. It wasn’t until a few weeks later that I “accidently” found my housemate – and when I did he kinda [...]

Damn it’s getting cold around here nowadays! Now when I mean “cold” I don’t mean cold in the traditional northern hemisphere way – not where it actually snows and reaches temperatures waaaay below zero! Nope, I mean cold by Australian – non mountainside at winter – type cold! OK, basically I’m talking a couple of [...]

I’d thought I’d mention more about where I live and the house itself – as a continuation from yesterday’s post. The property is situated amongst a few small farmlets and an increasing number of suburban houses. Indeed many of the small farms are being bought up to turn into estates where people can live together [...]
