In the future

This blog entry serves as a ‘note to self’ on children’s birthday parties.

In the future:

• I will not ask family members to sit at public parks reserving a spot for our daughter’s birthday party
• I will give someone our camera and ask them to take photos of the day so we end up with more than just a random few shots
• I will definitely make pass-the-parcel for the adults – even the kids loved watching it NB. the prizes were not of an adult nature (WINK), just scratchies and booze
• I will continue to make awesome cakes inspired by Women’s Weekly cookbooks
• I will triple the amount of fairy bread i think we will need. Who knew so many grown ups would still hold it near and dear!

So, overall the memories are pleasant but the photos are few and far between. So, here are a few of the few. Enjoy!

Dang we’ve been slack

Yeah, this is the problem with being a perennial procrastinator and all-round lazy bugger and trying to be a blogger. The two don’t go that well together. The spirit is vaguely willing but the flesh is weak and spongey.

AND TO PROVE MY POINT – as of this paragraph we are on day two of writing this post. One small step for mankind is a giant leap for one man.

So what’s new at Casa de Rogers? Not much, mes amis. Annie had a great first birthday (photos to come… eventually), we’ve all been sick with this flu and that’s about it. Oh, and I read Crime & Punishment – the whole darned book.

The Kooks – Konk

Just got the new album from The Kooks – Konk. It’s gold. These guys are bloody unreal. Just found out they are playing sold out shows in Sydney and Brisbane. How do I miss out on this information? I guess it’s the downside of living the life of a shut-in: no paper, no tv, no radio, no news websites. I definitely rate this band. I hope they stay fresh. This album’s pretty much the same sort of stuff as their debut album, Inside In Outside Out (or vice versa…). Album three will determine their future, but for now, let’s dig in and enjoy these guys. They are real rockstars.
