Egypt


I always wanted to go to Egypt. (A brick layer gave me his views 30 years ago on how the pyramids were built). At the time, I wrote a song.

Well Egypt's calling I wanna go there, See the pyramids just let me stare
I've heard about hieroglyphics and the sphinx(s) too
So that's why Egypt I wanna see you.


So, on a world trip from Australia to U.K. and the U.S. I just had to call in.

see below at this site for info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt

I had a fabulous time and reacted many of the words of the song (except for visiting the Aswan Dam)

18th Birthday Party

My Youngest daughter had her birthday party two weeks ago and I must confess it was not one of the highlights of our family. She ran it with two friends. (How did I get the short straw you might ask!) They simply never asked me until it was too late to respond with the correct answer. NO! 120 guests were eventually dispersed sucessfully by the bouncer... bless him. This was after the demolition of 16 large pizzas, a fight or two and a lot of alcoholic regurgitation around the toilet area! I suppose we got off lightly but I am still finding bottle tops that did not find their way to a bin. No photographs available as I did not want to be remeinded of the night. Not to be recommended anyway!

On a good note, it is Easter and the weather in Perth is simply sensational for sport and outdoor activities.
