Beach & Longboard Surf Cafe

Today I didn’t do a whole lot… I started off by going to the Mornington tip to dump the bootload of crap I had from pop’s place. That went fine, aside from not being able to dispose of the photographic chemicals I had – fixer, developer, whatever – which as it turns out cannot be… Read more

Marzi’s Birthday Dinner

Last Friday Chris & I went to Marzi’s dinner at Moskitto (or however it’s spelt) in Clifton Hill. It was a fair trek, but I was dropping Chris home afterwards anyway, and I’d originally said yes to Marzi’s invite on the basis of two things: a) that I’d never been to Moskitto’s, despite going past… Read more

Mornington High, 1969

Men Can’t Communicate?

This entry in Brett’s blog pointed out a rather antagonising (but subtly true) article from AskMen.com, which can be found here. The article’s pretty self-explanatory, so go read it. My favourite bits, though, are: When she says, “It’s your decision,” what she really means is, “You’d better know what I really want and give it… Read more

The Catamaran Lives!

So, as I noted, we’d decided to dig out pop’s old – and I mean old; the last time it was even in the water I was like four – catamaran on Thursday. Chris came down for the occasion, and Friday morning I arrived at nana & pop’s to get started (after a swim of… Read more
