At the end of full travel day Kelly, Juno and I quite enjoy settling down for a little bedtime Netflix. You know….in bed. We could simply play a movie through Ripley’s TV but it is situated way up front, a little too far away to watch comfortably from the boudoir. Until now we have been […]
Before leaving for work this morning Kelly reminded me: “don’t forget to vacuum the house and mop the kitchen floors today Ian, OK?” A list of things I have not accomplished today: Completed first nude free solo summit of Mt Kilimanjaro by pogo stick. Solved the philosophical so-called ’hard problem’ of human consciousness. Recorded back […]
Following my last post about dropping out of FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram I have had a few people asking me: Is there anything else I can do to stop big these corporations from gathering data from me & tracking my browsing whilst I am online? Im not really up to anything illegal and its kinda […]
A quick update just in case anyone is wondering why I have suddenly gone all quiet on social media. As you might know I closed down my Facebook account a few years ago (for many reasons including these) and have not regretted it for a moment.

Perhaps you already know about this, but I just found out about a hidden setting on the iPhone that is super useful. The setting is called Magnifier.

One of my jobs today was to bring in the washing. Simple. Since retiring I have totally rebelled against unnecessary ironing (which I hate). So I like to get my T-shirts fresh off the washing line and fold & stack them neatly. In my opinion, this leaves them totally un-crumpled enough for wearing proudly without […]
Perhaps you are out travelling on the road, or away on holidays, or perhaps you are just minding your own business at work when it happens.Making a triple zero (000) call for an ambulance is usually going to be a stressful and difficult experience. Taking a little time now to read about what happens when […]
Today’s task was to install a UHF radio in Ripley ready for our upcoming trip.I’ve been putting it off for a while now because….well because I have an electronic DIY aptitude only marginally higher than a jellyfish. I had done some online research and watched a few YouTube videos and it didn’t seem too difficult […]
