The Traveling Bears: August 2010
http://thetravelingbears.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 27, 2010. A day in the life. I've had a few requests for more "every day" business on this blog, and particularly some information on Grandsons 1 and 2, Angus and George, so I thought I'd tell you about our recent Thursdays. Georgie absorbed with his toys. An undemanding little fellow. Jeannie introduced Angus to Plasticene and it has become another favourite play, stretching my creative talents to the limits. From Hugh and Jess's back step, looking across the yard to Snug Primary School.

The Traveling Bears: December 2010
http://thetravelingbears.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 20, 2010. Our neighbour Jo has been troubled for some time with water under her house, to the extent that her backyard has become a swamp. After some time, and an attempt to shift the blame to her downpipes, Southern Water turned up this afternoon to deal with it (and in a typically Tasmanian way the guy in charge was the brother of Jo's ex-housemate). What Marty wants to do when he grows up. There goes the front garden. What an exciting afternoon! And a Merry Christmas to all our readers.

The Traveling Bears: May 2011
http://thetravelingbears.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. We saw this sign often. But the dogs were usually inside. While we were walking in Tuscany we passed a paddock with a flock of sheep. Just like a number of others, but in this case four "sheep" detached themselves from the flock and raced towards us barking savagely. These were Maremma sheepdogs. Specially bred to live with the sheep and protect them from wolves, or Australian tourists. Not too rash, now. Saturday, May 28, 2011. A Tale of Two Cities: Florence and Rome. Climbing the...

Jeneral Mom: 10 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter
http://jeneralmom.blogspot.com/2011/07/10-simple-rules-for-dating-my-daughter.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. 10 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter. 10 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter (when and if that time ever comes). If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. I have no doubt you are a popular fellow...

My collection of doings, seeings, findings, listenings, tastings and meetings. All in one convenient and sporadically updated spot. Sunday, February 14. Once upon a time. Once upon a time, I used to do exciting things and write a blog. Even then, it was intermittent. Now I do exciting things, and haven't posted here for a while! Here are a couple of pictures of the last few months:. Our friends Megan and Vernon's wedding. And at the reception - Tim and I with Mum and Hamish. At Festivale yesterday, the L...

The Traveling Bears: September 2011
http://thetravelingbears.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 15, 2011. Another episode in this year of travels (and it's not over yet). Last week we were lucky enough to visit beautiful Lord Howe Island along with five students from Rosny College who were the winners of the Envirothon competition, run by The Bookend Trust. LHI is nearly two hours flying time east of Sydney in a Dash 8 aircraft, which is how Jean and I got there. The students came more slowly in a smaller chartered plane from Hobart, with a couple of intermediate stops. We staye...

The Traveling Bears: November 2014
http://thetravelingbears.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2014. Japan final: food, toilets etc. Everyone asks, so we might as well get this one out of the way first: yes, what you've heard about Japanese toilets is all quite true. The heated seat (with an associated warning about low temperature burns), the musical or watery tones to disguise what you are actually up to, the discrete draught to waft away any noxious odours, and. Those water sprays (surprisingly accurate! Toilet controls. You can work them out. Take-san took us for a memorabl...

Jeneral Mom: Baked beans
http://jeneralmom.blogspot.com/2010/02/baked-beans.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. My mum always made these beans. I tweaked the recipe a little because her's are sweeter than I like:. Soak 1 lb beans overnight. Next morning, boil for 1 hr. In bean pot, put 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 Tablespoon mustard. Quarter 1 onion, and put in pot along with the beans. Cover beans with water, and put block of salt pork on top. Cover. Bake for 7hrs at 300 degrees, then test for doneness. Keep cooking without lid for 1 more hour.
