Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Since acquiring a new home on Kangaroo Island I have been keen to establish a vegetable garden. It's a WIP as I am building the chicken run first.

Prior to purchase, I would have bland cereal and diluted cows milk followed by a rough-as-guts branded coffee. But now, oh... Continue Reading →
I shot, produced, and uploaded this video where I share a story from 2017. It revolves around my initial move to Kangaroo Island and a memorable encounter with a group of random women who yelled at me for vlogging on a public beach. This video offers an odd narrative, shedding light on the challenges vloggers... Continue Reading →
I made a SILLY mistake: I cancelled my radio show earlier tonight because of this voice message I received in the middle of the second song. PLEASE NOTE #1: This is an AMENDED transcription of an English voice who translated a Spanish voice message. The rest has been deleted as it has been proven to... Continue Reading →
Our 7yo son Jai wanted to take his imaginary Ender Dragon for a walk. I saw no harm. We took him to the Kingscote Farmers Market, held at the Bay of Shoals Vineyards. Jai had a blast. Fairly sure the Ender Dragon had fun too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiAfOp6kCU Big News: We are moving house within the next... Continue Reading →

After 32 years living in multiple suburbs of Adelaide, the last 18 in the Adelaide hills, 19 years working in the CBD, we moved into Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in late 2016. All effort has been put in to rebuild my wife's honey business, plus get my artwork in display and window-washing businesses on-track. Life... Continue Reading →
This photo is of a sculptured rock standing five metres tall in a public garden in New South Wales. It always makes me feel at ease. Maybe it will for you also.
