I just found a bunch of flash cards on my little bro’s desk while I was snooping around in his room at our parents’ house. He’s living there while he finishes off his physiotherapy degree, much to my glee – it’s my chance to find out what the little dude actually gets up to. The …
Travelling by plane is relatively different to trains, I’ve decided. I never flew before last Saturday and it all seemed very strange to me, going up I the air in a big metal thing. It doesn’t flap its wings, so how does it fly? I had so many questions, spawning from a sheltered upbringing in …
Two weeks ago my grandfather got home from church and in a panic, told me that he needed someone experienced in termite exorcism. He went on to explain that the church was falling to bits and he suspects termites were to blame. Everyone in the church had been noticing how bad the place had started …
Another day, another dollar. Happily for me, I really like how I spend my days, and this coincides with how I get my dollars. What can I say? Mobile instrument repair is my jam, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having said that, things would be going even more smoothly if I had …
No, amazingly I do not think a cocktail night works for a baby shower theme. Is anyone familiar with fetal alcohol syndrome? I guess not; I’m the first one out of all my friends to be having a baby, and no one has bothered to do a lick of research in case this ever happens …
Construction is fascinating, if extremely clumsy and odd. Home ownership interests me as well, although the general concept is less intriguing because it’s essentially the same thing as signing an arcane contract. That is, the easiest branch of wizardry. My nephew could perform contract spells, and that boy is destined for a bottom-of-the-barrel career cleaning …
Lightning most definitely strikes twice in the same place. If it had only struck once, they maybe the tree-house would’ve stood a chance. We managed to get out there and put out the fire, and we were in the kitchen congratulating ourselves when there was ANOTHER lightning strike. Long story cut short, the tree was …
Well, it finally happened. I put a post on Facebook telling people to pray for my Grandma because she was sick in hospital. She began to get stronger, and then I politely asked everyone to stop praying because it was working a little bit too well. When the nurse gave her a bit of snark, …
Some jobs really have changed throughout the last few hundred years. I’m doing a project for my history class at uni, and I’m trying to compare five extremely different professions. The main idea is to pinpoint five jobs that haven’t just changed in practice, but have basically been altered to the point of being unrecognisable. …
I’m not one for stereotypes on television, but I’m really enjoying the new sitcom, ‘Tree Fellers’. It’s about a trio of tradition Irishmen who are trying to build a name for themselves in Australia’s plant and garden industry, but they’re so collectively incompetent that it always ends in disaster. It’s like that old British sitcom, …
