Blaise Montgomery Allan was born at 3:49 AM on 16th September 2008. Quite a marathon effort. He is 12 days old now can you believe it? A great deal has occurred during that time. He makes some really cute sounds and has smiled several times - really big beautiful smiles!
So proud of my beautiful wife... Leith is starting to recover and ventured out twice over the weekend for a walk up around Balmain and Rozelle. I carried Blaise in the marsupial pouch, which he kind of liked. He falls asleep after a while walking like this as I'm sure it reminds him when he was in the womb, going on long walks with us, sometimes for 3 or more hours.
I also post tonight to share a limerick I found on QANDA:
There was a young lady named Bright
who could travel much faster than light
she set off one day
in a relative way
and returned home the previous night
Also my word of the day, from today's SMH Editorial: capricious
Elected with less than 2 per cent of the primary vote, the senator's motive for persisting in what appear to be capricious and time-wasting tactical manoeuvres is, of course, to boost his importance in the legislative process, and to build his own profile.
Meaning: Characterized by or subject to whim; impulsive and unpredictable.

It takes two to tango
It takes two to tango, it takes 3 to form a jazz trio (citation). Today is the start of some very interesting - make that world-changing - developments. I am about to become a father, a dad. And god forbid, a parent. That's okay.
But let's not over-dwell on these things. Eventually I will upload my previous efforts of keeping a scrapbook, from some years ago. It will involve a lot of scanning.
The weather today is a true sign of climate change. We've gone from an average maximum for the past couple of weeks of 17 degrees, to about 32 today. Climate change is occurring here, at least in this part of the world.
This brings me to a couple of my most accessed websites from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology:
512 km Sydney Radius
This site helps predict whether we are in for the perfect storm.
Latest weather observations
This is site is great for working out what to wear when going outside, or whether to go outside at all, or whether the pollution will be directed at you when jogging home from work.
What we need though, is a charting service which shows how often new records are being created in our weather patterns. Every week or so, it seems a new record high occurs, or a record average of highs for the month, or the longest period in 100 years without rain.
