flabbergasted

really surprised to check in today and find 3 comments! thanks to hamo, suzy and jtm for taking the time to welcome me.

today i'm on home duties, taking care of our gorgeous 14 month old daughter while Janette (my darling wife) is at work. i was hoping i could check up on blogdom while Freya had her morning nap, but some chores got in the way, then the phone rang and woke her, so i'm typing this while attempting to keep the little girl from going completely postal. so far not doing so well on that latter front so this will have to be short.

i was going to put some personal details in my profile but blogspot had some maintenance issues yesterday and weren't allowing profile editing. so (in answer to hamo), i'm not the 'mandurah dave' - the 'obscure corner of australia i refer to is balmoral village, a tiny 'hamlet' in an area of nsw (that's in australia for any non-aussies out there) called the southern highlands, which is really neither southern or highlands (even for australia), but is both compared to sydney, which is what counts in these parts.

i already mentioned that i'm married to janette (almost 11 years at time of posting) and we have a beautiful daughter who is, without exaggeration, the delight of our lives.

better go and give this girl some lunch. talk to you soon...
