We hopped on a plane between Christmas and New Year for a quick trip to Melbourne to see the Melbourne Theatre Company production of The Importance of Being Earnest. The impetus behind this piece of extravagance was that Geoffrey Rush … Continue reading Melbourne miscellany
The looking back bit: Lots of good things happened last year, I wish I’d blogged them all properly. We went to New Zealand for a wonderful holiday, Caitlin started high school, David grew a moustache, Tom took up bass guitar, … Continue reading Happy New Year!

So I haven’t got much by way of fragments for you, but we’ll give it a go anyway. You may remember back at the end of September the filming of the “I Do” marriage equality video? It’s been on Australian TV and been doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter, but I did promise to link to it, so here it is – the finished product: Caitlin is … Continue reading Friday Fragments
