“Work Life Balance” is a modern day catch phrase we have all heard.
Back in the seventies about the importance of having recreation in our lives remember how we said things like “Chill Man” or “Peace”. The most important thing to remember is that there is no limit to the activities we can try, so get groovy and keep Loving Life to the full.

Every Wednesday night at our local pub is Trivia Night. For many years now, six of us have played at the same table but on two separate teams.

When we’ve had enough of driving it’s time to take a break, unpack the thermos, pull lazily into the next roadside stop.  Just like the pioneers of the Wild West, we pull our vehicles into a circle but luckily there’s no Indians attacking. Just the huge road trains burning noisily down the highway. The drivers don’t have time to join the circle. They’re to busy meeting deadlines.... Read more >>

I love my house. I think it is beautiful. I love to be at home with my family, to lock ourselves away from the rest of the world.
