Last night I went to transfer $800 from my Westpac savings account to my Westpac Mastercard account. Using electronic banking I accidentally did it the wrong way round, and transferred from Mastercard to the savings account. I immediately moved the money back again to the correct account. Today I saw…

The ethics of an old man mowing
Walking home from work today I saw an old man mowing the lawn at a fundamentalist church. The grounds must be at least half an acre and he was using a small mower to cut long, wet grass. There is no way he would have got more than a third…

We went for a walk around the Blue Lake yesterday. It’s about 4km. It’s popular with dog walkers and the council provides poop scoop bags at several locations. About two thirds of the way around the lake we noticed a woman helping herself to multiple plastic pooch poop bags. Not…

We’ve inherited two kittens who basically adopted us. We don’t know what to do. Originally we thought they belonged to the people next door. Great, our kids can play with kittens, minus any responsibility. Wrong. The kittens are both black. We’ve seen the mother a few times, which we assumed…

This shows me with a scooter, about 1972. Scooters then had pneumatic tyres and wide foot stands. I remember having one before I graduated to a bicycle. This is what a scooter looks like today; kids of all ages ride them:

I’m guessing a little with these cars now, but I’m going to say this one is a Toyota Corona. We may have even owned it, because it appears in a couple of photos. I’m wearing the school uniform of St Michael’s Primary, so I think the photo was taken in…

This picture shows me with my cousin Leanne in 1970. I don’t know for sure what the cars are, but the one on the left looks like a Mini and the other might be a Zephyr. Even if I’m wrong, I want to mention the Ford Zephyr, because when I…

This photo of my father and I in 1967 shows a Valiant in the front and a Holden at the back. It was probably on a family Sunday drive. The Valiant is an AP6 model (or maybe AP5), according to my study of photos on the web. They were introduced…
