I often used to wonder whether the weather people would throw around the terms “hottest summer on record”, “hottest day since 1920” and the like just because it sounded dramatic. We’ve had a lot of summers and a lot of days since the history of time, so it seems hard to believe that every single …
Who knew that teaching a bunch of surly teenagers to cook would be so difficult? I should have seen this coming, really, but I just figured they’d be able to pick it up easily – it’s not rocket science, is it? Picking it up is not the problem, though. They’re all perfectly capable of mastering …
I just bought a car from Western Australia and I am having it transported across the Nullarbor as we speak. I am really excited because it will be here in five days, and in the meantime I am arranging all the services and certificates I need to have to be able to legally drive the …

I had a bit of a mishap driving. I was careless and diverted my concentration off the road for less than thirty seconds, and in that time I somehow managed to mount the curb and hit a fire hydrant. It was on a quiet street and there were no cars or people around, so no …
I’ve proudly owned my own business for the past 21 years. I was originally the manager of the business and the owners at the time approached me to purchase their business off them, as they believed I was the person to carry it into the next decade. I hadn’t considered owning my own business before, …
Oh, thank the many gods of the Forgotten Lands that my air conditioner has been repaired! Finally, I can return to writing my masterpiece, The Figgle McWiggle Chronicles: Figgle McWiggle and the World’s Largest Block of Ice! It’s book five of my unpublished epic fantasy series, and it’s currently eight hundred and seventy-nine thousand words …
