Well, it’s not easy to change the early morning behaviour of my six year old, Olympics or not. Trying to get the young fella to “get cracking” so we could make it out to see the torch be run down Denman street was no easy task. I awoke to the sound of helicopters that were [...]

Friday started of pretty crap to be honest. I got attacked by a spelling Nazi and was made to feel like shit for accidentally letting three typos get through on my professional side of life. I should not have let it but for some reason I did.
I should know by now not to let them [...]

We are looking to move. That’s right this family has finally outgrown the amazing West End apartment that has been our home since 2002! We are a family of three and are very tidy, very quiet, non smoking, with out pets and have amazing references to back it up.
