Lottery winner?

Martin came back with this last night, 5 billion dollars. Not bad for an evenings work!

Look who's back

Its ROOMBA, he's back! It took a while but they finally sent him back with a completely replaced drive-train. So yesterday, for a bit of robot serenity I popped an mp3 player and a speaker on top and had Roomba playing nice soothing Finley Quaye, so it is now officially
called Reggae Reggae Roomba!

Did you know?

Did you know that the ozzie dollar symbol only has one line through it? I didn't till last week. Fascinating!

West Coast Wednesdays

Yesterday marked a new tradition of waling up and down the coast at sunset. We hardly ever take advantage of living 20 mins away from the must amazing coastline on this side of the planet, so this year we are gonna change that. Here's the sun just as it was setting.

A Migration Once Again.....

Yet another international reknowned musical act, the Wolfe Tones, showed up in JB's last night. they were just off the plane so were a bit too tired to come up and play with us, but they stayed right till the end of the gig and had a drink with us afterwards. Legends!
