This blog is basically 3 mates sharing their thoughts, what they've been up to and just random stuff they're thought of or found somewhere.

Toothpaste (or lack thereof…)
We’ve been missing toothpaste in our house for about a week now… and before you recoil in disgust at our dental hygiene, we have still been brushing our teeth… just without the paste… A dentist once told me that toothpaste doe...
Evie Blog
From Evie: I had a great day today with Grandpa. We went for walks, had apricot chicken for lunch, and I did a massive sloppy poo in the afternoon (I love dropping those ones on Grandpa!). Tonight dad tried to feed me dinner but he doesn’t rea...
Cold freckle…
Being a leisurely Sunday with no youth group on, I decided to take a newspaper with me to the can and do a bit of reading under the impression that the can might be a place conducive for that sort of thing… but it’s terrible! I don’...
Quasi twitter…
I don’t have a twitter… so here’s the next closest thing i have to a tweet: I’m a fat arse. 107kg! ...
You’re that guy…
I’m starting a new series of blogs and I’m encouraging everybody to get in on the action! It’s called (wait for it…) “You’re that guy!” That’s right campers! “You’re that guy” is about...
Arj Barker rockin my world
I’ve got right into Arj barker ever since I saw him do this piece at the comedy gala festival in Melbourne last year. I’m still laughing! And this one from this year...
Why Bother?
Drove past a fashion shop in Earlwood the other day called “Wot’z Hot“… and I’ve gotta ask: why bother with an apostrophe when there is obviously no concern for correct spelling anywhere else in the title? Thankyou. that...
District 9
James and I went to the movies last night and saw District 9. It’s an Alien flick but it’s not like any alien flick you’ve seen! It really is different and also brilliant! What I particularly like was the subtle satire of all the bi...
Harry Potter Challenge
So i’ve set myself a challenge: To buy all 7 of the Harry Potter books in hard cover for under $70.00 AUD. Which basically means I have to hunt them down from second hand shops, which is good fun. I just bought the first one (the philosophers s...
Winding down time
It’s been a busy week, well, actually busy weeks. I really try hard not to be busy but sometimes it just is… This week was a no day-off week as well, so I’m a bit tired… but feeling good now. We’ve been having good frien...
I’m on holidays!
Yeah you read it here first. I’m contemplating reading through all the Harry Potter books in the next 2 weeks…...
Sea Patrol
I was a bit wasted last night after a big day at church running a Pupil Free Fun Day for Kindies to year 6 kids… BIG day! So when I got home I just crashed on the couch and zoned out in front of the TV. For whatever reason Fi and I ended up wat...
Le Tour est au-dessus de…
It was always going to be a tough ask for Cadel Evans to make 3 minutes after the disasterous time trial early in in the tour, and now he’s 7 minutes off the pace… it’s over. It’s pretty disappointing that the Tour was pretty ...
Conspiracy Theory
I knew it was only a matter of time before the conspiracy theories started circulating about Michael Jackson (SMH today “was Michael Jackson murdered?”). Of course we all know that MJ isn’t dead. Neither is Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, or T...
An amazing thing!
The most amazing thing happened just now. I ducked across the road to get a take awayacoffee (Campos BTW) from The Big Brekky cafe and while I was waiting for my flat white (no sugar FYI) the lady behind the counter gave (I repeat GAVE) me a free (I ...
Spiritual Gifts
So I was reading and discussing 1 Corinthians 12 with Bazz yesterday (because he’s preaching on that this Sunday in our 1 Corinthians series) and we’re talking about Spiritual gifts and what makes a Spiritual gift different from a skill o...
War on mold!!
We love the house we’re renting. But our house has been invaded by mold… airborne spores of mold drifting through the air and forming new colonies around our entire place… It’s like something out of Aliens. And it’s ju...
G’day, Hey doun?
I love to say “G’day”. All the time. It’s like my standard greeting. I’m not trying to be “Austrayan” I just say it without thinking and I like it. But I’ve also just realised that I often add “ho...
Should we baptise Evie?
Contrary to the christian tradition I was raised in (Church of Christ) I’m all for infant baptism. I myself was baptised as an 11 year old and not as an infant, and “believer’s baptism” - as it is sometimes called - was my de...
More Banksy…
Kind of linked with this chroniclesof post… Banksy has an exhibition in his home town of Bristol UK. Here....
3 sux
3 Sux. As in the telephone company “3″. This our second 24 month contract with 3, and the second time that both of our phones have crapped out just after 12 months in… which means that they’re just out of warranty to be fixed...
Evangellyfish
I’m currently reading this online book called “Evangellyfish” here: http://evangellyfish.com/ I got onto this book because it was reviewed in the briefing this month. Good review. This is a fantastic read so far. Very funny. It&...
Scones
Given Chris’ recent blog… Let me introduce to you LEMONADE SCONES!!! Woohoo! OK, brace yourself, this might be hard to remember… 3 Cups of SR flour 1 cup of thickened cream 1 cup of lemonade (shweppes, no frills, whatever…) ...
Cashless my arse!
Beyond 2000 has got a lot to answer for… I don’t have my own personal robot… my car isn’t made out of banana skins (I saw that on an episode once), and I’m not living in a cashless society… I tried to go without ca...
Caned…
So I’ve been doing this bike ride thing to Cronulla and back every Tuesday morning for the last 4 weeks (as in push bike not the motor variety…). It’s a good ride. About 60kms round trip from Dulwich Hill. And it’s more or les...
My mum…
My mum went to Florida, USA for a conference. My mum went to Medieval Times! My mum is awesome! Meeeeed-hiiiiiii-eeeeeeeval Tiiiiiiiiii-eeeeeeemmmmmmes!...
What’s the diff?
Grammar question: What’s the difference between “effect” and “affect”?...
A little bit personal perhaps…
I love history and I love the church… which is why I think I love church history. I’m currently doing a semester of reformation church history at youthworks and we just had a lecture on Luther today. He’s an amazing individual with ...
Mays lane retrospective
Thursday is now my day off and Fi and I have made a habit of using the time to become more “cultured”… Last Thursday we went to see the archibalds (excellent) and today we went and saw the Mays Lane Retrospective at the carriage wor...
A bit in the poo…
So yesterday Bazz asks me if I want to go out and get a thai lunch… Of course I do! i love Thai lunch. Fi and Evie are invited too. Fi was out all morning, so when she comes home i pass on the offer… But Evie is ready for bed so the answe...
