I’ve been messing with a bit of dodgy HTML and CSS.

5 December, 2006…he’s only sleeping…
5 December, 2006It’s not goodbye, it’s just goodnight.
I hope so, anways. Bookboy has decided to throw in the towel. He cites little bookgirl, and ‘other pursuits’. I don’t want to speculate on these other pursuits, but I would like to wish him all the best, as I am sure you all do too.
Here’s hoping that’s it’s just a long snooze, and that he’ll be back refreshed and full of literary goodness in the not too distant future.
Goodluck, br.other bookboy.
movin’ on up (or sideways at least)
5 December, 2006Just got a call from Mrs Gizo to let me know that the HardMan started rolling today.
He was on the mat, with his crinkle toy and wiggle-frog just out of reach. Apparently he had started trying to shuffle humself over, but seemed to get bored with it pretty quickly, and just lifted his legs and dropped a shoulder, and he was on his way.
Here begins the next stage of parenthood. I shall call it the “OMG what’s he got into now?” stage.
the world is a different place
5 December, 2006Dylan was right – the times, they are “a changing“
Even as recently as last year, I could drive through any section of roadworks and lift my hand from the wheel to give a simple wave to the workers, or the guy holding the ‘SLOW’ sign, and I would always get a wave or a nod back. Sometimes there’d even be a subtle “G’day” mouthed between us.
Yesterday however, I was driving through some roadworks on my way in to work, and sure enough, there was a guy holding the ‘SLOW’ sign. As I approached, I instinctively lifted my right hand off the wheel and gave the wave. Instead of the corresponding wave, I got a “what the freak are you looking at” sneer. If that wasn’t strange enough, I looked in my mirror as I drove past, and the guy’s eyes followed me, and he kept that look going for a good 10 seconds afterwards (watching just watching like a vampire).
I hope that he is just a new guy, not fully trained in the way of the signholder. Please someone tell me that he is the exception and not the rule. Please?
