Today I was on the tram and ran into an old pal from high school, Kasey. I haven’t seen her for yonks. We’d never been that close, but she seemed up for a chinwag, so I really went for it and told her all about my bung knee. She reciprocated by telling me ...
For Want of a Nail…

Let The Kids Party
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t signed up to be the coordinator of my daughter’s Under 7s dance team. I mean, she’s only six - how competitive can a team really be at that age? That’s what I’d thought when I put my hand up for the job. As it happens, they can b ...

Paper Boats Just Need Motors?
We've never once succeeded at the Paper Boat Race Championships, but that's no reason to stop trying. One day, this shall be a great mainstay of Melbourne, even a tourist attraction. But for now, it's mostly just a laughingstock that amuses people every y ...
