This weekend when you spend more than $30 on grog, the local bottle shop will give you a free flag. How patriotic is that! Happy Australia Day!

Glandan (Bruce) reads "The Gruffalo" at bed time
He may not be the world’s best reader, but I think he’s the world’s best grandfather. “Glandan” (Bruce) read this bedtime story to the kids a few years ago, and we were lucky enough to film it. Contrary to what dad says, the monster in the story is a “Gruffalo”. It’s a delightful story by Julia Donaldson which is available at Amazon:

We demolish a Piñata at Xmas
Here’s a quick video of the demise of a Piñata that our friend Jo Smith gave us for Xmas 2007.
Everyone had a whale of a time trying to crack it open.
It also records the demise of our broom handle, which was never the same after everyone used it to bash the living daylights out of the poor hapless piñata.
Xmas 2007 on our deck was a lot of fun, and low impact for everyone because we bought all the food (cold meat and seafood platters) rather than cooking a roast. (What crazy person decreed that you had to have a hot roast for Xmas in Australia in the middle of summer?)
Full marks to Josh for busting it open. We knew you would, Joshie.
