Amy Carr and Robert Johnson
Amy and Robert arrived in Australia on 28th February 2006, armed with BN136 Independent Skilled Migrant Visas, and wallets full of a whole load of almost worthless currencies from countries in varying states of decay around the globe.
We INtend to:
Enjoy ourselves.
Enter mainstream society.
Earn more money than we spend.
Settle down a bit.
People places things
I’m still learning about this computer.
We live in the inner west of Sydney.
Amy loves the deck outside our flat.

George decided to join us on 14 November 2009 at 16.22. As many of you know, he was a bit reluctant to leave the womb, arriving 13 days after his ‘due date’. As with all things ‘baby’, conventional wisdom only tells half the tale in that I now understand there is no such thing as a ‘due date’ but rather a ‘

Our foray into regional NSW
In an attempt to avoid that dilemma so often demonstrated in London of immigrating there only to never ever step a small toe outside, say, SW3, we exited our Balmain Village and trekked it steadily westerly. Actually, I drove ‘a solitas’ meeting Bobrail - who had been on a ‘site visit’ with work consisting of travelling in convoy in natty 4WDs from Brisbane via Toowoomba, Goondawindi, Moree and Gunnedah with a bunch of engineer-y types

Tortilla a la espanola
This entry is for all you cooks out there, but particularly for one Slovenian kitchen whizz (you know who you are!).

The single most expensive ingredient is olive oil, but you really don’t use much of that. You can serve the dish hot or cold. It keeps for days and is a delightful picnic dish, as you can wrap it in cloth, aluminium foil,

Turning 40
Well, middle age is upon us. It can no longer be denied. I find, however, myself oddly not at odds with this inevitable development. Bobrail and I both are still out here, still chugging along, still on our feet, and still together and happy. Bring on the second half: We’re as ready as we’ll ever be!
The day itself was absolutely lovely: sunny skies with good weather and company. Our British cousins by way of New Zealand were here AND they insisted upon a cake which, of course, was a
