I haven’t sat down and done a blog for a while, I’ve been crazy busy over the last couple of months. Prior to COVID-19, Deb and myself had our plan for the next two years, that all things being equal would get us to our next phase in what we would like to do in…
COVID 19 has forced change on us all. If nothing else, it’s made us stop and evaluate what’s really important in our lives. For a lot of people being in lock down has meant a total reset in lifestyle. The precious commodity of time is back in our hands. Time to do those jobs at…
It’s dark, my motivation is obviously lacking and I’m not enjoying this one little bit! Dragging myself out of a cozy bed at 4:30 in the morning is just ridiculous and winter is still months away. I ask myself “Why am I doing this? ” – Why? Well ok yes, having a good level of fitness…

In 1978, Ken Warby broke the world water speed record piloting the boat “Spirit of Australia”. He clocked 511 kph (317.5 mph) on Blowering Dam near the town of Tumut in New South Wales, Australia. Amazingly, this record still stands forty years on. It’s not that others haven’t tried, in fact of those that did,…
We spent last weekend with close friends who were visiting Brisbane. It was great to catch up and just hang out. The weeks leading up to this had been very challenging and personally trying with my Mum passing away, within the same week we hosted a lovely young English couple – which was a pleasure…
