While it's fair to say that I'm now repaired and ready to be sent to work, Marg is still suffering and reports to the Regimental Aid Post daily.  I think I can put my recovery down to the Vegemite I take daily which is a fine source of Vitamn B, ... Read more >

Leanne left home early this morning to rendezvous with her boss Yvette, before flying to Ohio for five days.  They are filming an episode of Restaurant Impossible which apparently screens on the Food Channel (whatever that is).  It involves a creative ... Read more >

While I'm feeling better this morning, Marg is not.  We have decided to go to the Minute Clinic when Leanne comes home from work this evening.  These Minute Clinics appear to be located in a range of CVS (a chain of chemist shops) pharmacies and ... Read more >

A near death day ! Both Marg and I are feeling crook and it wasn't until late afternoon that we felt able to venture outside and go for a walk around the block.  I took some photos of the post boxes I mentioned yesterday and noted that they come ... Read more >

I felt slightly better today, but Marg was laid low, so nothing was done around the house. I went for a walk in the morning, exploring the local neighbourhood.  Among a few oddities I noticed, was the complete absence of fellow adventurers - unsurprisingly ... Read more >


Day 7 - Tuesday 9 Aug 11

I've been dosing myself with all sorts of elixirs, some of which ought to help turn the tide in my favour.  Late in the PM, it seemed to be doing some good in that I felt I was losing the congestion and the thick head.  It has definitely stifled ... Read more >

Once again, not feeling the best but after a trip to Home Depot, Leanne and I made a start on the fixing the side gate.  We cut a cross brace and screwed it on after making sure the gate was square.  We also needed to secure the hinge post and I ... Read more >

Walked down to the shopping plaza this morning to pick up some milk for the weeties and allbran.  I was out of the house by 6.30am and, although I guess it was fairly early on a day of rest, I was just a tad surprised to see no one else on the ... Read more >

USA | Sunday, 7 Aug 2011 | Views [284]

After our "grande promenade" yesterday, neither of us was overly keen to slip on the walking boots today, so after having celebrated Leanne's 33rd birthday and seeing her off to work (quite a lot of American businesses still open on Saturday ... Read more >


Day 3 - Friday 5 Aug 11

USA | Saturday, 6 Aug 2011 | Views [235]

Went into Alexandria with Leanne this morning to see how much Old Town had changed over the last three years - answer was, not much at all.  We started off at the waterfront and headed down King Street, but had forgotten how late most shops opened ... Read more >

When the children went off to work this morning, we left (on foot) to reconnoitre the neighbourhood and get an idea of where the facilities are in this suburb.  Quite a while later we were able to return to the house after having walked twice around ... Read more >

Our departure from home had been organised via the Fremantle Airport Shuttle, leaving at anytime between 4.00 to 4.30 am.   In the event, the bus was late which caused us a few concerns, but the driver (a Pakistani) got us to the airport ... Read more >
