So over the weekend this appeared on Kidspot's Facebook pageand was promptly shared by about a billion people.  (Stats are my thing, can you tell?)And it's true.  Even when written in English-English or Australian-English and not in American-English.But it...

Today in Australia we are celebrating the Queen's birthday.  Yes, we know her birthday is in April and I'm sure in the story somewhere is a bonafide reason we chose June to celebrate it.  I'm an ardent republican in the Australian sense and I'm still happy...

There are two types of people in the world.Those that say "Let's do it"and those that say "What if it doesn't work out?"Let's call them Group A and Group B.  It makes the whole post seem more scientific don't you think?Group A consists of people that do things...

Please note: I'm passionately pro-vaccination and if that is likely to offend you - please don't continue reading - I'm not going to argue with people on this one, it is an opinion piece.  See, the subject of immunisation is a bit thorny in my circle and for that...

In the dark of the pre-dawn this morning I awoke with a BOOM and thought that is the BEST idea for a funny blog post I have had in a long time.  And I typed into my phone 'goat'.And then proceeded to have an extremely bizarre dream about a friend of mine...

"If I were a rich man,Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum.All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.If I were a wealthy man."(Fiddler on the roof)What does the dream look like for me?  If I was so fabulously wealthy that money really became no object what would...

So. The other day, I met a Pastor on a plane.Not on a plane, in a plane.  But that's not what you say is it?  You say on. Right?Anyway, the Pastor.  He was there, sitting next to us.  Heading home after a week or so in Bali.  But not on...
