Such a little helpful trooper, helping me out cooling the beans 🙂 you know how long it takes a 1 year old to transfer 0.5kg of beans from a bowl to a colander by hand ? a good 8 minutes 🙂 dad ftw.

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle, much like walking up a damn hill.

Standby for more useless inspirational quotes 😉 But in the meantime, here is one in fight for practical useful quotes (ie read instructional rather than wishy-washy 😉 ), which is actually useful and will genuinely help you in life.. well, in a small part of life (If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way – thats napoleon btw, a somewhat useful quote imo 🙂 )

"Always use silicone grease on on your tap orings and thread"
.. that all went a bit random 🙂 but i have changed a lot of taps in recent days.

A great time to revel in the 8 tonne of crackers that sydney puts on.

I'll put it out there that I think the fireworks this year were just not as a good as last year – that said, the 9pm fireworks were actually really good.

This will be the last NYE post here on gplus, sadly this time next year googleplus will be well and truly dead and buried.

You can probably find me over here:

Hurry up sisters.. whats taking ya'all so long

Sometimes life throws a few bends in there to get you to slow down, whilst cruising on the freeway is good, some may consider the ride thru the bends to be better… 🙂

This image is for a mate of mine +Carolyn Fahm who has just come out of some surgery, some might consider that a forced slow down 🙂 In any case I'm sure you will be back up to speed before you know it. Thankyou for all the wonderful comments, insightful words and always stopping by 🙂

Zoom in and check it all out in full resolution 🙂

Not sure which is more alarming, the loud suit or the fact that she only started walking 6 weeks ago 🙂

I think this scooter will shortly be handed down for a third time, I'll give it to Micro Scooters Australia & NZ they certainly make great quality scooters which last, this one has had the brake replaced once but the wheels are still going strong

Turned out real nice, thanks to the great work by The Art & Framing Company to print and frame (White Boxed frames)
