Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the height of Australian culture.

Settling into a three-hour episode of The Talk Show with a fresh supply of super-fizzy water…

Paco and Coco had a lot of fun at the park today. They could seriously eat grass forever.

I took this last year in Port Kembla but it’s still one of my favourite shots.

Natasha and I are wearing matching Seinfeld shirts today but we noticed that some people seemed confused. It clicked that those who may not know the show must have seen the shirts and my iPad bag and then assumed that we were from some roaming charity.

Looking over the Illawarra

Flying back to Wollongong

My wife Natasha took this photo of Coco and Paco getting into the Christmas spirit.

I call it: Coffee Cup Eclipse.

…and here’s the plane again.

The massive Qantas plane on display at Illawarra Regional Airport!

Natasha and I were shopping at Aldi when we found these doormats in the ‘central Germanic bargain strip’ (as I call it). I couldn’t help but notice that it almost spelt out ‘HomePod’, however the last letter looks like a ‘d’ that was changed into an ‘i’ at the last minute.

Black and white can make the most mundane shots that much more interesting.

Today I’m at Macquarie University in Sydney to support my wife, who’s here with her students for a national robotics competition. So many children!!! Also, I wouldn’t say that the campus is as nice as the University of Wollongong’s but they’ve done a lovely job of integrating their brand colours into the buildings.

Lying under a tree during lunchtime at work was blissful. It’s a beautiful day today.

This is what my sit-stand desk at work is called. It cracks me up every morning.

Magpies on the lookout…

As far as I’m concerned, these are the only cufflinks worth wearing. I sported these on my wedding day and received a lot of looks from family and friends that essentially expressed, ‘Oh, of course you wore those’.

I have very strong thoughts on the presentation of napkins. Napkins – Lounge Ruminator

For anyone who hasn’t heard, you can now buy land in a new suburb in the south-west of Sydney called Gilead. That’s not creepy at all.

Our beloved Mt. Keira

I call this: The Horror of Windows World.

This is the most Australian thing ever.

I love my city but it has its strange bits: Wollongong in Transformation on Lounge Ruminator

Our bottle-opener is seriously called ‘Gilbert the Fish’. That’s how it was sold. Thank you for the nice gift, uncle Rick.
