I am pleased to say that things have pretty much returned to normal after the initial excitement of the media whirlwind, and life is becoming a bit quieter again, although the house is a bit fuller at the moment. I have had a couple of friends, Darryl and Jane move in for a while. They […]

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”. Duncan wrote a piece on my upcoming auction, and tagged it as internet fraud/internet scam, hence it being passed on to me […]

I keep being amazed on a daily basis by the response to ALife4Sale, but never more so than when I found out that a song had been written about me!! A friend pointed out the link to me, and I took a look, and a listen. “About Rise and Shine :- This is a pilot […]

Every time I get interviewed I am asked why I am doing this – what could possibly prompt me to take such a “radical” decision. The easy and straightforward answer that has been reported in the press is that I am doing this to move on from a failed marriage, and that seems to be […]

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 […]

Hi again, Wow, what a busy ten days it’s been, but thankfully Easter has given me a bit of a break. I’ve tried to kick back a bit and relax and just enjoy a normal weekend out and about with friends. So while I have time I thought I would take the opportunity to answer […]
Continue readingWell, 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 […]

Thank goodness for the Easter weekend. Things have calmed down a bit today, with the phone only ringing once every now and then. It has been a relief to actually do some normal things for a change. I managed to get some laundry done, although did have to do a radio interview halfway through hanging […]

Hi there, Well, things have been a bit crazy over the last couple of days, to say the least. I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of interest this has caused. I never imagined any of this, even in my wildest dreams. I thought I might be lucky to get a few lines in the […]

I have had a few messages about John Freyer’s project. I am not entirely sure that my project is very similar to John Freyer’s. I bought his book “All My Life For Sale” while doing some initial hunting around before launching into this. He sold items individually, on eBay, down to the smallest things he […]

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 […]

Well well well. Things have certainly been moving on at a pace since the website went live on Friday! I had planned on going out tonight for a few pints of Kilkenny to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (even though I haven’t got a drop of Irish blood in me, but who needs an excuse to […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hi there, it’s Saturday, and yesterday I got a last minute invite to a bucks day/night (known as a stag day/night in England!). We went out on a bus through the Swan Valley, and played SupaGolf in the morning, a BBQ lunch by the river, including a quick game of cricket, and then we toured […]
