Random rants and thoughts.

Part 1- A welcome

Thanks to everyone who subscribed to my blog. In all seriousness. I am flattered/Honoured
A special welcome to the one reader whose email addy I did not recognise. I am sure they will know who they are.

Part 2 - They know it all about everything

Don'tcha just love finding yourself in the company of someone who has seen it all, done it all, done it bigger and better. You can't tell them anything about any topic because they are and expert in every field.

My first real experience with this was a couple of years back at a school fete for one of the kids. I volunteered to make pancakes that day. I am sure I could see Wenchy grinning in the background as I endured hours of delightful conversation Madam X (Identity's have been changed to protect the guilty).

You would swear that the good lord had only ever bestowed the gift of making pancakes on one person in the world and it was not me. Even in the face of a mounting pile of burned evidence (Madam X's pile) Madam X felt the continued need to coach me in the finer art of pancake making. Of course in those few hours I also learn't how little I know about computers, music production, asthma , world peace, motorcars and any other topic that came up during our time together. Clearly Madam X knew everything. Being the diplomat I am I kept my peace.

I was not terribly surprised to see Madam X volunteer as a musician for a small music group and immediatley to step up and volunteer to save the Choirmaster from their own ignorance.

I guess I am never sure how to adequately deal with people who are like that. How do you meaningfully converse with someone who considers themselve surperior to everyone in every way.

Sometimes it helps to call them out on their knowledge. Of course in a case like this you have to be sure you know more than them.

Part 3 - People you are never sorry to see.

This part of my blog is just an acknowledgement of two people I don't often see but when I do I always find it pleasant to spend some time with them. I was relieved today when I was expecting to have to spend time with a group of strangers to find Jonathan and Jenny there. It's is always a pleasure to see them.

Part 4 - My Brother

I just thought about him a lot today. In case you have not got this clear I love the man. I am hugely proud of his achievements.

Part 5 - Responsible parenting.

Saw this today and it freaks me out. A vechile being driven by a parent who has responsibly strapped themselves in while the child who is maybe all of three years old is standing on the front seat.

For goodness sake are you that arrogant as to presume you can't be involved in an accident.
I hope for your child's sake and for yours that you never have to face that harsh reality.

Part 6 - John Irving.

I just wanted to pay homage to my favourite author. I am busy reading Until I find you . The man is a master of penmanship.

The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television. ~Andrew Ross

Hello Blog world.


I was considering putting up some of the outakes from last weeks HNT post but decide to spare everyone including me. So here it is a little something from the front.

The supremely talented photographer who took this pic was my wife Wenchy
