It's been a long time since I rock and rolled

Greetings and welcome to my first ever blog post.

I doubt it will be as memorable as many other firsts, but it will hopefully serve as a useful means of keeping those who want to know, in the know.

I'm a homeowner again, in conjunction with my lovely common law wife and son. We are situated in the middle of middle-of-the-road whitebread Johnsonville where we fit right in with all the other middle income earning couples that have spawned and have their .4 of a human in childcare somewhere nearby.

Being as it's a handyman's dream, time (and energy) seem to evaporate like like my patience with a certain 2 year old at the end of a long day. Each chore barely completed opens up the way to begin two more.

Enough of that piffling dribble though. On a brighter note this blog was created by my esteemed partner, in celebration of my 40th a couple of months ago and I have since taken ownership. The night itself was a lot of fun and a humbling number of people turned out to help me celebrate. We kicked off the night with some hardcore go-kart racing which seemed to get peoples adrenalin and endorphin levels peaking then moved on to the pub. When I work out how, I'll post some photos of the night. We had a great congregation of peeps from the courier, music, postie, art and massage worlds, but at the end of the night the youngsters had all given up the ghost and it was just one couple of oldies left to drag me out to a cocktail bar (props to Spring and Neke). I finished the night alone at Hooch for some quiet reflection and a bus trip most of the way home. A truly fun night.

Special mention to those of you who got some postings up for my birthday. It was a fantastic surprise to log in the first time and get those messages. Josh bro your cover was truly inspired. Sorry I've been such a crap correspondent lately.

My brain seems to be hitting the head full of clouds stage, where you just zone out staring at the screen for what could be minutes or chunks of an hour so i'm out y'all.
