Feeling flat? I sure had, on 8th January 2026. Whilst I was parked along the street of my dad's home address, a neighbour noticed one of my tyres was flat. (Rear left-side.)
They kindly alerted me to this fact before they drove on beside my location.
In Victoria, the Australian state I live in we have a membership service called RACV roadside assistance.
Was I ever grateful that my membership was current that day!

Hi everyone,

Especially if you are a Pet Shop Boys fan. I have preserved these images of Neil and Chris; here, sourced from old newspaper articles from yesteryear.

Hello everyone,

I had made a call to Langham reception from my room, at the time, and it was confirmed that this Penfolds wine was indeed not complimentary.

If you'd like to see all my adventurs of my overnight stay at that hotel; please indulge...

Hello everyone,

If you're a Pet Shop Boys fan like me, you would have ordered your own copy of Annually 2025.

I had this booklet stored away from the bulk of copies of Literally and Annually booklets, so that's why it does not feature in the video I made of my collection.

The link to that video titled:
Pet Shop Boys: My Literally & Annually Collection

Good morning,

This the aftermath of my "Breakfast Recovery" meal at Timeout (Federation Square) this morning. I definitely walked away full. So much so, I couldn't finish all of the panini.

When you feel like a bite to eat at Federation Square, I recommend Timeout. It's the first cafe you'll see if you are crossing over St Kilda road from Flinders Street station.

This is the link to that breakfast video;

A work buddy of mine, being a wiz with editing or photo-shop, made my dream come true of making me an honorary member of Pet Shop Boys.

That's me on the left if you were wondering.
Chris Lowe on the right.

More startling was that I actually had less grey/white hair in my early 30's!

Hi everyone,

On 1st April 2025, it was my first time on either tram line 12 or 109 whilst passing the time as I was quite early for my ophthalmologist appointment mid-afternoon.

I took a tram to Collins Place in the city and had a brief browse around then headed back for my appointment. Which I was still early for .

I passed some more additional time at a nearby Cafe to the suites of my Ophthalmologist.
At the end of my meal, I needed to ask for a take-away container for the leftover pasta. Huge portion. Dinner tonight was sorted!

Link to my first time dined in at Solah Cafe;
