Looong day today.
I left at 6.30am for a monthly breakfast gig at the South Perth Boatshed Cafe with some good mates – it takes an hour to get there for me… We are currently reading thru Al’s book. Sometimes we discuss the chapter, more often we just discuss… This is one of my most valued [...]
This is a house that was built in South Merang – Victoria.
You’d have to be a big fan of the simpsons and have a lot of $$$ to spend it like this…

Sometimes you really need some time just to kick back, relax and forget that there is a job to do. (Yes – this is me writing”)
I love to go hard and find it relatively easy to stay focussed, but there are days when I don’t want to see anybody who will take energy out [...]

We played for an hour, [...]
