84 days to go!! One skeptic may have been swayed

A friend sent me a link to a site called 23/6, a comedy-current-affairs-comments-type website, run by a guy called Duncan Quirk. I liked his tag-line “Some of the news, most of the time”.

88 days to go!! Bookcrossing…

The internet is an amazing tool, and in the past ten years or so has changed our lives so much. I often think that this is an incredible time of change that we are living through, and we will look back upon this period one day, when our grand-children ask, “What was it like before […]

1 90 days to go!! Video update…

Well, ten days ago I sat in my hammock and made my “100 days to go” intro video. That was the day the website went live on the internet, and I wondered where it would take me. I had only talked to a couple of people about this, but their positive response encouraged me to […]

I tried to answer a few emails this morning, but it was such a glorious day outside that I jumped on the motorbike and headed up Fremantle, or Freo as it is known to locals here. There I met up with Melanie, Mike and their kids. This weekend Freo is holding the annual Fremantle Street […]

95 days to go!! Wow!!

What can I say? The last 36 hours have been pretty crazy!! From one article in my old home town newspaper, The Northern Echo, in Darlington in the UK, the media coverage has gone ballistic. I have been on Aussie breakfast TV with Mel and Kochie, a slightly nervous start, and from then have done […]

Each year in March, Cottesloe Beach hosts “Sculpture By The Sea”. Late yesterday afternoon, I headed to the coast with a couple of friends, and spent a couple of hours wandering around the amazing mixture of unusual and interesting sculptures on display, both on the beach and on the grass terraces above. Turning the beach […]

98 days to go!! Bicycles on the freeway!

Perth is a great city for encouraging all sorts of healthy activities. This morning the freeway southbound was closed for the Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma, in which over 7000 cyclists took part in a 60km ride along the freeway. I made my way to the freeway around mid-morning but was told by an elderly […]
