Oh... yeah...

Also, I haven't recorded here yet that I've:

a) got a job
b) bought a house
c) made the move to go live outside of Melbourne for the first time in my life.

I really should get around to doing that one day :-)

New shoes

It was one of my goals when we invented this website with Zuz that, one day, I'd be able to write

NEW SHOES NEW SHOES NEW SHOES!!!

I'm now the proud owner of a pair (actually quite expensive) New Balance tennis shoes so that I can play tennis up here in Cohuna.

Next stop: restring or replace my racquet which has been used 3 times in the last 8 years.
Happy happy news!!

Last night, in a quiet moment after a BBQ:

Son: Dad, do you believe in God?
Me: (pause) No I don't.
Son: Me neither. I don't believe in things you can't see.

............................... HOORAY!!!!

I swear to - goodness - that I never once put him up to it!

Success!! Rational parenting win!!

We had a brief chat about how we wouldn't say things like that Gran, because it's not very polite, and my wife was listening so I couldn't fall to my knees and say "Oh, thankyou thankyou thankyou." I think I handled it very neutrally.
