Hottest 100 Songs of All Time

I'm surprised no one has posted their ten picks for the hottest 100 songs of all time. Rock Lobster was up there for me.

Great weekend. Highlights - The speeches, dances, food and frivolity. Below are a few close-ups, but I'm sure there will be more of the venue and party to follow.

Julia and Grant in Vietnam

Here we are in Vietnam again, this time for a motorcycle trip and, for Julia, a longer holiday with a friend after my two weeks here finishes. We've finished the bike part and it was excellent. Nights were spent in traditional houses with local families and the roads were a constant procession of bends over mountain passes and through rice-growing lower areas. Julia got her motorcycle licence again for the trip but it was still a big ask to ride so far in such a strange environment (including having to ride on the right hand side of the road) Getting out of Hanoi was by far the hardest part but dodging the buffalos, chooks, trucks, busses, and the thousands of other motorcycles on the road required lots of attention. The picture above is at our first stop out of the city. Hey, Jake, can you photoshop some crossed bullet belts onto Jules and have the tip of an AK-47 peeking out over her right shoulder?

Road conditions constantly changed. Here we had to ride up the drains on either side of the digger to get past.
This was our last night as guests in a Dao ethnic minority villiage. The rice wine flowed freely and Julia married all our children to the son and two daughters of our hosts. The girls are very attractive but there's a complication for Annika in that she has to bring a buffalo with her when she arrives.

Julia is making great use of the Vietnamese she's been studying in Australia. She had quite a conversation with this 80 year-old we met at one of our frequent stops.

Here we are with our new in-laws. Start packing, Dom, Nick and Annika. We're having a rest at the moment but have another adventure planned in Ha Long Bay starting tomorrow.

Car for sale?

Hi. Still cannot remember my password so here goes.

I am retiring the much-loved Camry as of next week as my new package includes a new car. Whacko! A brand spanker to drive the economy.

I have been offered $500 as a trade-in so any enterprising cousin might like to offer the same and utilize what I think has more value even if sentimental. 253K kilos completed, mostly Mudgee, Lismore, rural NSW and Victoria, and potentially 250K more to go. No rego as of 30 June, and may need new tyres. Some dimples of love as modeled by Kimi below (in front of the Mudgee mansion) that make it perfect for on-street parking. I decked a kangaroo on the weekend which merely bounced off the bonnet without a scratch (to the car). But a spot or two of rust courtesy of 10 years in Manly. Complete with 2002 Sydney Street directory, a B-52’s driving tape and some stray Indian movie music (as I grade up to CD’s). Kimi not included but lunch could be provided on pick-up (when she gets back from Japan). And a nice number plate too that might help at a Dennie (?) Muster.

Any interest?

Johnny's last tour

Grant was right. It was only a matter of time before I was discovered... by a Port Macquarie Radio DJ on a mission - He interviewed me about my Johhny song. I'm glad someone out there backs me up!

Maisie apology

Bridesmaid revisited

This is Tegan and Miles getting married, and that's bridesmaid Annika on the far right. The wedding took place in Moe recently and Annika's job was to get the three kegs down in the Camry she shares with Nicholas. She also knitted the shawls you can see the picture. In fact, the dressess were a combined effort of the bridesmaids involving sewing evenings and a total cost of around $200. The reception was in the bush so God picked up bill for venue hire. As Damian would say, "That young man looks like trouble to me..."
