The odometer read just over 500 kilometres when we took delivery of the Ford Territory Titanium. As you can see below, the road trip we took bumped that up big time. Now it’s school holidays, I’m looking forward to having a reprieve from the lunch making and uniform ironing and all the other little jobs…
We’ve been away. When a very sick family member calls asking for you to come, you go. So we did. And now we’re home, all down with a bit of a lurgy, but back all the same. I made a video about the road trip, made in a Ford Territory Titanium which we’ve got for…
This letter is the first in my ‘Write open letters of thanks to people who have influenced my life’ goal from my Living List To The Pharmacist Who Sold Me Baby Formula, It was a cold Saturday morning, and I was at the end of my tether. I’d gotten out of bed, dressed, and left…

This photo was taken in the centre of Macau, while we were travelling overseas at the beginning of 2013. For new readers: we went over to Hong Kong – where Riley proceeded to break his arm! – as a sort of pilgrimage. Adam’s 98 year-old grandfather lived there in the 1930s, smack in the…
What you see here is the remaining 400ml of the barium swallow I had to drink before undergoing a CT Scan two weeks ago. Ideally, you’re supposed to gulp down the lot, but – trust me – that’s a lot easier in theory than reality. It’s part-orange, part-chalk, part-soup. However, seeing as it was full…
This post is sponsored by Goodyear. Adam turned to me last month and said, “I think it’s time we got the tyres checked on the car”. Luckily, I was able to get into a place straight away. As I explained my request, with a vague “I’m not sure, I think they’re okay” clause, the…
