Paris Hilton loses inheritance
Can you believe it? I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised!

Good to see a sense of humour

Looking through the news at news.com.au this morning, I found this funny (see the ‘breaking news’ section):

The first recorded IT help desk visit

I was sent this clip by e-mail last week – it’s hilarious.

Daylight saving

Ah yes, we went back an hour this morning.
Guess who forgot!
I was driving down the road, probably about 200m from church, and James Scott from One Way FM comes on the radio. He’s not usually on of a Sunday morning (he usually covers the Breakfast Show on weekdays) so I assumed that the show was [...]

Moving house

Since it really is hard to put a new photo every day (I’m trying as much as I can to do one from that day), this is going to be “a photo every few days” now.
We’re in the process of packing, to move in 5 weeks time. We’re having a garage sale next Saturday to [...]
