Another Summer weekend

Posted by on Jan 3, 2009 in Doing Now | 0 comments We’re taking the kids and the dogs for a day at the beach today. In fact as this is being posted to the site we are already on the road. I packed the car on Friday night and the kids were all off to bed early. The kids will no doubt squabble in the car, the dogs will be excited – but it is all good fun family time together. By the end of the day we will be exhausted. Our two Labradors...

Early morning start

Posted by on Jan 2, 2009 in Doing Now | 0 comments I started my day at 5:30am with a 10km jog around the lake. It was fresh and still with surprisingly few people out. Usually at this time of year I see lots of people out ‘getting fit’ after their New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe they are all jogging along the beach and I’ll see them all in a few weeks time when they all head back to work. Today is another planning day for...

Turning 80, is a Milestone, but it is what you do that counts

Posted by on Nov 17, 2007 in Doing Now | 0 comments Most mornings Janine and I get up at 5:20am to take the dogs for a walk. Our usual route is across the horse paddocks and up a track that leads to the top of Mt Taylor, which is right behind our house. As we walk up the hill, we meet the regulars who say g’day as each walks up or down the track in their own meditative state. It is a great way to start the day, stretch the legs and gather...

It’s a dog’s life

Posted by on Mar 21, 2007 in Doing Now | 0 comments Yesterday I spent the day on the couch and after a few hours the laptop battery went flat but I couldn’t maneuver myself around to plug the cord in, so after a number of attempts, I gave up and just slept on the couch for most of the day. The dogs were sleeping outside and occasionally looking at me with sad eyes. I was thinking that I now know what it feels like to be a dog, spending the...

What a bugger, now I can’t walk

Posted by on Mar 20, 2007 in Doing Now | 0 comments On Sunday I was trying to water-ski and I lost control of the right leg – in a moment’s lack of concentration, while I tried to pull my right leg back into alignment, I neglected my left leg which under pressure of the water flung up over my head, tearing a hamstring and buttock muscles at the hip. Friends pulled me into the boat and I was carried to shore where my body started to go...

Picked up my new VW EOS last week and put 1000km on it on the weekend

Posted by on Mar 13, 2007 in Doing Now | 0 comments What an awesome little car, goes like a dream. I picked the VW EOS up from the dealership with 5km on the clock last Thursday and by Sunday had done 1,000km. On Friday, the sun was shining and we decided to head off to the coast for the weekend. The NSW South Coast is great this time of year. We stayed at a lovely little b&b and lucked in on a great seafood night at a café in...
