Lord of the Dance

Hello blog fans.........Sorry for the delay life has been very busy....House hunting.....Work.....Kids sport...all of this makes for little time... although dancing still figures high for me ....Look... I was young.... I needed the money.......errr

Still this is a great place to be...although fuel is now $1.53...thats 75p a litre.....

James has recovered from a broken arm and has become quite the goalkeeper his team are top of the league and James is a very brave lad diving at peoples feet etc...my brother also broke his arm as did James mate Jack...here are Rob and James...

Stephen misses his family but has settled into a busy school and social life...parties, swimming and soccer....

Jackie is happy as she now has a new engagement ring....The original one was very small with tiny diamonds? and was frankly an embarassment...she now has a beaut 3/4 carat ring...and a smile.

And me well here I am happy at work...

Australia is great but I thought I would share some more strange observations.....news is generally pretty dull...(They have a dull prime minister....Kevin 'paint dry' Rudd) however their is always room for the eccentric story and character...like this true story from the West Australian newspaper.

It's never a good idea to get behind the wheel after a few drinks, especially nude. Apparently, it's also not advisable to drunkenly navigate a motorized wheelchair either!

This was evidenced recently when commuters on the Captain Cook Highway in Northeastern Australia were forced to swerve around a wheelchair during their commute.

Driving the chair was 64-year-old Lans Murphy, whose blood-alcohol content was six times the legal limit when authorities apprehended him. He was also nude."There are also other classes of vehicles that are subject to drink-driving laws," explained a police spokesperson. "People should be aware that drink-driving laws cover these kinds of vehicles, but also others like horses, skate boards, roller skates, and bicycles.
We once arrested an intoxicated person on a merry-go-round!"

Australia is great...........
They also have a local politician who did the following.......

WEST Australian Liberal leader Troy Buswell broke down in tears yesterday after admitting he sniffed the chair of a female staffer after a meeting in his office in late 2005, but he refused to stand down over his extraordinary behaviour.
Mr Buswell agreed that his actions were inappropriate and offensive, but he said he had strong support from his colleagues to remain leader.
He said it was up to voters to decide if he was fit to be premier but he had now modified his behaviour.
Just 24 hours after 13 times labelling the chair sniffing an "unsubstantiated, anonymous rumour" which he would not comment on, Mr Buswell finally admitted he sniffed the woman's chair seat after she got up so he could get a laugh from other staff.

Love.....Stew
