Hello all. I would like to draw your attention to this charming comment left in response to one of my recent posts about Jac having been ill. The person who wrote this little heartfelt gem calls himself DocChuck. Just want to let you know that I am saying “Bye-Bye” to your Blog. My wife and […]
Recently, Sumo Salad promoted their newly opened store at Carousel with a person dressed in a sumo wrestler suit walking around the shopping centre with a woman giving out Sumo Salad brochures. I asked the sumo wrestler if I could take his/her (I couldn’t tell the gender of the person in the suit) picture, and […]
Poor Jac has been sick overnight and for most of today. It must’ve been around 4am when, still in bed all dopey and half-asleep, I thought I heard the sound of someone being violently ill in the loo. Unfortunately, it was not a dream, and someone had indeed been sick in the loo. Jac’s been […]
Juji and I went shopping today in town, and I’m really tired. I’ll try to post tomorrow about the yummy food we ate. In the meantime, here’s Pixel enjoying the new bookshelves we had delivered yesterday. She jumped up to the top (they are five levels high) where she watched most interestedly while I arranged […]

Since neither of us gets back to work (well work for Jac, back to thesis/uni for me) until Monday, we decided to go shopping again for bookshelves on Friday. We’d made a number of unsuccessful shopping excursions on previous occasions, but just couldn’t seem to find the right bookshelves to buy. We ended up going […]
We had dinner when Juji’s boyfriend got home from work. I was drooling in anticipation as the meatballs bubbled in the cream sauce in the cast iron frying pan. She tweaked this original IKEA recipe. I was busy sorting out the laundry and unpacking while she was cooking, so I wasn’t able to pay attention […]
You know, when we arrived at the chalet I was so excited to be there that I completely forgot to take photos of the inside! Anyway, on Wednesday morning before we locked up and returned the keys, I took a couple of snaps so you could have an idea about what the interior of the […]
A roadside sign we passed on our drive up from Perth to Geraldton had claimed that the best pies were to be found at the Dongara Bakery on Waldeck Street, and now that we were in the vicinity we were keen to test that claim. We headed straight to the bakery to get breakfast on […]
We’d always planned to stay for a week in Geraldton and spend the last couple of nights in Dongara (Dongara is 65km from Geraldton), and so on Monday morning we packed all our gear back into the car and got back on the road again. We stopped along the way so I could take photos […]
