Riley has been bored around the house lately. Can’t say I really blame him, I have been a bit preoccupied, but that’s no excuse on my part. I did get a little of a shock last week, though, when he read out a phrase from one of Keira’s reader books from school. How on earth…
One of my favourite Top Gear episodes is their road trip across the bottom of Africa. If you’ve also seen it you might recall the scene where, as the three of them watch the moon rise over the Kalahari Desert, there is this exchange: James May: I know a Philip Larkin poem about the moon….

My thoughts? It’s honest and balanced, and I’m thrilled it was mentioned. As for my aims being possibly ‘overambitious’, I…
I’ve been out all morning, so I only just saw that MV#1 was reviewed in today’s edition of The Age. Interested persons might want to run out and buy a copy as I can’t find the review online. Exciting!
I’m reeling a little (in a good way) from last night. I didn’t sleep much, and right this second Riley is pulling on my arm wanting me to play PS3 with him. But! I first want to share some photos. These aren’t mine, I hasten to add, rather those taken by Planning Queen who’s letting me post…
