Life between coffees.
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?
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…
I can’t believe how quickly time has zoomed by. Bert is now six. He had his first Macca’s party on the weekend, school friends and all.
I feel old, and not because Bert is six but because I was completely lost when I went to buy his present last week. He’s been after some Beyblade’s for a while now so I went to Target to pick one up. I found the shelf and stood there looking at the most bewildering array of completely indecipherable packaging. I was tempted to ask a mum wandering by if I could borrow her son for a while to explain what on earth everything was. In the end I think I figured out he’d need one of them and one of them would be good too. I can’t believe I’ve reached the age where kids toys confuse me. Shoot me now.
Here’s the birthday boy, on his big day, with his brother and sisters. Happy birthday Bert.

I had to have a quick chat with Bert’s teacher this morning so we left the school a little after the bell rang. There were a couple of late comers hurrying up the path and as we were walking down the main steps a young boy started his way up. He looked up, smiled and said “Hello Albert’s Dad.” before running off to class. As far as I know I’ve never seen him before, even the twins (who seem to know everyone in Prep) didn’t know who he was. Made me smile.
Just to prove how big a geek I can be…
This week as I was hanging out laundry I noticed that the planes seemed a lot closer to our place. Then I noticed the they seemed to be approaching from a slightly different direction at odd times. l wondered if there was a new flight path and went back to hanging out socks.
Well, this evening I was reading the local paper and found a little ad. Apparently there is a temporary change to flight path use at Melbourne airport while a couple of runways are undergoing construction work. There truly is no hope for me.
Somewhere in the world there is a person whose true passion in life is sorting socks in to matching pairs.
We could make them happy beyond their wildest dreams.
