Got to admit, could get used to this. A rather huge internal debate is going on within me, namely why didn't I move back here a couple of decades ago? The wife would have come then too, just was too busy defining myself in a certain way to see the opportunity at hand.

I miss this wee guy!

Not so new but Otto makes me smile!

Just came across this astonishingly badly written review of Innuendo, the last #Queen album completed before Freddie died. While it is slightly sneery and snobbish there are a couple of lines in there that hit a little harder with the knowledge of what was to come shortly after the album's release.

I may have just ordered this rather spiffing looking #Queen album, not entirely sure it is a properly licensed one but you know, looks a bit of alright really!

Got this in the mail today, good times!

Happy New Year everyone.

This day three years ago I made the first of several legs that took me from Dunoon in Scotland to Melbourne. It was probably the most pleasurable international journeys I have ever made, but then I spent a lot on it so it should have been!

I bought The Terminator 4K release last week and we watched it last night. It is a stunning transfer, so crisp and clean. There are issue with the film, dated in places, eminently forgivable budget issues with special effects and very dated music. Still a stone cold classic though.

The lady and I were at a friend's 60th Birthday last night in Melbourne. Was a fun and enjoyable night. I think we scrub up pretty well!

We've all been there!

I think the absolute genius of this post by Rod Stewart is calling him "Greg". Of course Rod may not know the history but if he does this is sheer burn.

Also, this revelation should surprise nobody.

It's been a couple of weeks now since Fang's illness put us in the position of having to say goodbye. Both of us still miss him keenly, it still hurts. His brother now occasionally looks for him and has become a lot more clingy than he was. Damn these loveable creatures!!

Still getting used to the fact that Christmas is now a Summer event!

Also I work somewhere that gets exclusive editions, Steelbook is very nice.

We bought some lights for the outdoor eating area, so we had a BBQ and are enjoying a pleasant evening! Not too hot right now.

Was a rather lovely morning today. Spring in Australia comes with something it doesn't in Scotkand, genuine heat in the sun. It's interesting, you can feel the place winding the heat up day after day. Going to be a scorcher I suspect.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey!

I went traditional when my wife asked me what cake I wanted. For a while I have hankered after a classic Victoria Sponge and so she obliged with a light and fluffy sponge filled with rather decadent Chantilly cream and raspberry jam. My goodness it was tasty. Still some left for today!
