Still hunting for a new car. What I’d really like is a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala.

Yesterday afternoon the Bureau said:

Ballarat Tonight and Saturday Rain overnight then a few showers. Possible afternoon thunderstorm. Mostly cloudy with moderating northeast to northerly wind. Min 10 Max 17 Precis: A few showers. Possible thunderstorm.

If you’re not sure where the bowling centre is in Ballarat here’s a handy map to show the way.

Except they weren’t.

One couple said they became suspicious when they took their “dog” to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.

Not sure that I totally believe this, but then again…

Our little girl turned 5 today. I’ve started a photoset on flickr. I’ll add to it over the coming days as we celebrate. Today she’s having a small afternoon tea with geographically local family, but the big bash is Saturday — bowling party!

Lisa, Adelaide and I went into town this morning for the Anzac Day parade and the ceremony in the town square. It’s only a small town, but the square was full.

A very moving tribute to those that have fallen and those we have lost. Too many small white crosses. Far too many.

There’s a photoset up on flickr, of course.

Knife incident in a London restaurant.

She said he was taken to a south London hospital where his condition was today described as stable.

How could someone do this and be described as “stable”?

Yet another classic YouTube video. Love it.

Weird way to get your thrills…

This is just the most awful thing. As the parent of a beautiful little girl and a beautiful big girl I cannot imagine how terrible something like this would be. Losing a child would be heartbreaking; losing one so young in such a senseless way would be unbearable.
