Bunnings, a playground for young and old

I went to Bunnings tonight, needed a few things to get this move organised and a couple of extra things that a man should have, like a shovel, you never know….

But it got me thinking, is this not a playground that a man and his child should enjoy together, wandering through the hardware, the tools, the paints, the nails, even the plants (Chili plants being my favourite 🙂 )

The things you can show, teach, build together is all there within this massive storage shed of fun, and they do sausage sizzles on a weekend, perfect excuse for a trip down to potter around imo.

Summer, not here yet, but still…

Sweltering heat, packing for a big move, pregnant wife

These are a few of my least favourite things.

Summer is a time for chilling out by the pool or beach, neither of which I have close to hand, and COLD BEERS, something I have quite a few of close to hand.

I like to Home Brew, been doing it for quite awhile. Dad and I started a production line back in 2000 when we were living together in Tathra, NSW. Mum was in Sydney for work, and the boys worked hard and drank harder. Once I moved back to Sydney for work the home brew fell off for a while, moving around I never really had anywhere to set up, especially living in Apartments.

 

When I moved in with my mate Sharpie, we had a 6 car garage that became a bit of a brewery, and my little fermenter soon turned into 3, we made a heap, ales, lagers, ciders, porters, stouts, and one of the best chili ginger beers you have ever tasted.

Kicking back this summer I’ll brew up some more of that I think, and it’s a craft you can share with your son when he is old enough, it’s what I did with my dad.

Tomorrow is a new day

Well, it’s nearly tomorrow.

37……

Who would have thought it, not me that’s for sure. I feel I have done a lot with my life in this time, but there is so much I haven’t done either. Finally married, with a kid on the way, that’s going to creep up real fast, and then the real journey begins.

That’s really what this is all about, I haven’t documented my life enough up to now, and I hope having this blog will help my do that in both words and pictures.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings, it’s a brand new day.
