The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I’m getting a little lazy about updates, aren’t I? The fact is – I’m not sure where this myth about the laid-back Aussie lifestyle comes from – I’ve been run off my feet for weeks. I start a new job on Wednesday, doing Network Support for a company in the Upper Hunter. Looking forward to

We have a tradition – on Friday nights we all sit down as a family and watch a movie together. Tonight was the first telly night in our new home and it was lovely (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone). It’s nice to get back to a sense of normality after the chaos of the

Woke up this morning to what sounded like fifty kookaburras having a comedy show in the yard. Starting to associate the sound with nice weather now – right enough, when I dragged myself out it’s glorious sunshine with the sky a deep cobalt blue as far as the eye can see. Got about a dozen

Nobody tells you they come into the garden! Everywhere you look, they’re bouncing all over the place. Went in and registered with Medicare yesterday, which went fine and dandy. The rain has gone and the sun is out – hooray! Of course, I’m saying that now but it’ll be a different story in a week
