Daniel Larusso aint got nothing on me

So.....got back from a gig, early, was tidying the kitchen and had in my hands a bowl, a soup spoon, an empty wine bottle and some chopsticks when i noticed this fly on the wall. Being an eternal 80's fuelled optimist (teen wolf/karate kid/star wars (the real ones) back to the future etc.) i decided to go all Myaggi on this fly and went for it with the chopsticks......as you can probably guess i missed, then somehow I remembered a skill I never learned before, some sort of inherrant genetic instinct to pinch the chopsticks about 2 cms above the flys locus and would ya believe it, there he was trapped betwixt the sticks of chop!...and I though the day peaked when one of my viola students was invited to play a the 2012 olympics!!!

There is a fly in my soup...

Check out this wee fellah bathing in my pint last night, reminds me of that joke about a guy who drowned in a vat of beer at a brewery, police were surprised to hear he got out five times to go to the loo....

Off to the tower to rescue fair maidens...

Arrow selection was an arduous process, Finn has very high standards.

Searching for treasure

We wrapped a box of smarties up in tinfoil and then burried it whilst Finn set off on a treasure hunt with his new set of garden tools Tristen got him for his birthday recently.

Check out Finn and his new hobby. We were chopping up a few branches from the mulberry tree the other day and out came the leatherman, a few tactical cuts and some jumbo elastic band wrangling later Finn was taking pot shots all over the garden. William tell watch out!

Finns Cake

Jane does an amazing job at making cakes and every year Finn gets to decide what kind of cake he gets for his birthday. This year he is playing a lot of that Angry Birds game so Jane put together this masterpiece.

Ceiling no 3

The back is back

I have been out of action for the last week and a bit with a slipped disc and a dislocated facet joint. It has been an interesting week of reading books, insane boredom and observation of ceilings. Highlights included Ann smuggling guiness into the overnight observation ward, Liam with his womans gossip magazines and of course the ambulance ride. Word to the wise, look after your back, you only get one.

Australia & Guinness, the definitive decision

Australia (along with any landmass 50 miles from St James'gate) is often tarnished with the "it doesnt travel well/made from different water/its the way they pour it/different shaped glassess/flow on the line/phase of the moon etc." tags. Well, after 6 years of intense investigation and research I can put my hand on my heart and say its exactly the same over here, taste, texture, consistancy, flavour, head retention, mouthfeel etc.. Well done guinness, and Tim here, for delivering three of the finest to the band last saturday night.

Happy Birthday Mick

Happy Birthday Mick

Micks Suprise birthday

Twas Micks birthday the other day and Fiona organised a suprise party in the city. It was so funny, he was ringing around looking for someone to go for a beer with and we were all forwarned to have "other appointments" at the time, he got a great suprise when he walked around the corner and we were all there.

Tools of the trade...

I have started playing with a new band here called Clover. Its a 3 piece, irish folk and ballad band, guitar, banjo and fiddle and we all sing, thats right, im singing in public now, wonders will never cease.

The young Jedi

Finn and I spent a good 3 hours on the lego project over the last few days, here he is on saturday morning in his Jedi costume/uncle Charlies hoodie ready to use the force
