Malloy Taxi Inc

Well, it’s started now. We’ve opened our taxi service as Phee has a job and it’s in a spot that she has to be driven to. I dropped her off tonight and watched a very nervous young lady walk through the doors. It also caused me to remember all those late nights Dad drove from one end of Shepp to the other (in Shepp terms, a long way) to pick me up from my job at Maccas. Every now and then I could say thanks with a cold apple pie but most nights it was just ‘thanks Dad’ and off to bed.

  • There is not enough paracetamol in the world at the moment. #

Crowded House, Recurring Dream

Here’s another one to add to the Plane Crashing But Not Really and the I Haven’t Prepared For This Exam roster of recurring dreams.

In this one we’re living in our house but Rae decides we have to move. Her reasons are always valid, mine come down to ‘but I like it here’ and so we move. However we always seem to move in to a pokey little flat  that overlooks some kind of field, always on an upper story, and all I want to do is move back to our house but I can’t because we sold it to rent this flat.

So, what on earth is that one about?

Where There’s A Will, What’s The Way?

Before committing to some serious financial restructuring we really must get around to having wills drawn up. As Ren rightly pointed out it’s not just about who gets the kids (we’re taking offers…) but there really isn’t too much complexity in what we need to address.

We’d love to know what you have done. Have you used kits, completed a will online or sort professional assistance? Any tips, trick or potential pitfalls to watch out for?

Bye Bye BBQs

A quick cruise around the neighbourhood streets today shows that people are still updating their televisions and computer monitors. After last year’s hard garbage collection, where it seemed every second house had ditched their CRT, I was amazed to count the number of CRTs put out this year. A lot of them were really large models so maybe those who had invested in big screens held on to them that little bit longer. One house up the street had disposed of three televisions and three computer monitors.

What surprised me most though was the number of barbecues out for collection. Most were of the flat four burner variety so maybe after updating the telly people have been updating their barbie. I wonder what it will be next year?

I wonder what size they upgraded to…
