Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
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. It will include egg- and poo-collection containers that can be easily extracted and returned. Currently I am seeking 120 bricks - clinkers, pavers, building, other - to... Continue Reading →
I bought a blender for Xmas. Not for anyone else. I wanted it - to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches. I am now eating far better because of what I can do with it. 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 →
Our pet cat, Missy the Kitten, was trapped in my office for a short while late this afternoon. During that time she managed to mangle and cut the cable on my Sennheiser HD200Pro radio-presenter headphones. She must have been asleep and trapped in there when I went out shopping for a blender and came home... Continue Reading →
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones.

Some might help you cope all day whilst waiting for the NEGATIVE-report to arrive. They will either give you a few seconds of laughter, an hour of creativity, or a long-term change...

1. Listen, Learn Do! Kids need discipline, no matter what age. Yes, I sound like my father - but I have finally realized how true this is. The harder it is to enforce, the more necessary it is. I built this message out of necessity to make my kids realize that this message is a... Continue Reading →
There's no denying that I love wearing baseball caps in Summer. But I also like a nice warm beanie in winter, particularly when I am on my Super 73-ZG. I have a few black beanies, but I don't look good in black at all. So I want one that looks cool AND keep me warm... Continue Reading →
I have had a few Lavalier microphones over the last two years, but they haven't handled the rugged conditions I put them through. Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
