Health

I must say the the family has been dogged with health issues over the last few months.

Amy has started Distance Education, which means that she studies from home, does not go to a regular school, but has to go to the city once a month or so to sit practical/theory that doesn't cut it via distance Ed. Even so the last couple of weeks she has been weighed down with a heavy cold/flu that is keeping her in bed a bit more than I would like.

Robert has had a similar viral infection to myself which cause dizziness and nausea, and for him gives him palpitations and the like. Me, well I have a malfunctioning liver, but I don't expect that will be a long term problem. Although I do go back to the Neurologist on the 6Th November and see what he has to say about my difficulty in swallowing.

Katrina has been Stoic, and continued on during the last week where she has cold/flu like symptoms. She is much like her mother in that way, stubborn. She will almost go until she falls over. Anita actually pulled the pin at work today and came home at 2 o'clock and left shop girl in charge until I arrived at 4pm. to take over. Well that's pretty much our woes. Hope it makes you feel better. Sorry to sook. Looking forward to better health soon.

Welcome To My Blog

Greeting to one and all and welcome to my foray into blogging. Its not so much that I believe that I have things of worth that other people should hear, but as a friend has pointed out to me its a good way to keep in touch with family and friends without offending any one! the Lord knows I am good enough at the already without having to string myself up and hand you all a whip to flog me.


Firstly, if you don't like what you read here, good, I encourage every one to have their own opinions and ideals. Its part of life. I am trying to encourage my kids, Amy, Katrina and Robert to have opinions of their own (as long as they don't differ from mine too much). So for those who are new to me, you now have the kids names, and my wife is Anita, affectionately known by many as She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO).

There's a time when you have to be the man of the house and make decisions that are unpopular, fortunately I have a partner who herself makes up my mind for me. LOL. Another smack around the ears coming up.


I'd like to acknowledge an old friend from my school days who has encouraged me to blog. Joanne went to Karingal High School with me, and after 30 plus years, (there I said it) we recently caught up on Friends Reunited. We have established a contact that is truly amazing. Honest from the start. She has a wonderful husband Joe whom she recently celebrated 25 years of marriage with, and they have two children who are now flying solo.


I am yet to really sort out in my mind what I will share here, but rest assured there may be the odd funny, some serious stuff, and some thought provoking stuff if I can manage it. Yes you may get some christian thoughts and comments, that's who I am and I make no apologies.

You also may get the odd risque joke, that's part of who I am too. If you don't think the two go together, maybe you need to reassess who God is, and what is his creation. For a start he made ME! He has to have a sense of humor. Your worship I rest my case.

The photo on the above were all taken by Anita on our long weekend trip to Phillip Island on the Australia Day long weekend back in January. I merely put them into this montage. She enjoyed roaming the beach at all hours and snapping photos of just about anything. Photos I shall try to share sometime in the future.


So to any body out there how has bothered to read this blog. Thank You! let me know what you think and what you would like to see me post. More up to date family issues in my next foray.
