All about children

Mark is a friend who truly and utterly indulges us; imagine, he uncomplainingly drove for two and half hours to our place just for Doytao Thai takeaway.

Not only that, he even brought pressies - two fantastically illustrated children books which he published and soon making their way to a shelf in a bookstore near you. Go check them out.

To reward him, we opened a bottle of Piper Hiedsieck, chased down with a chilli passionfruit ice cream.

At about the same time, my great-nephew Joab arrived on this lovely little planet weighing all of 3.43 kg and in one step, elevated me to the heady status of great-uncle. How fabulous is that!


Joab, "Get that bloody camera out of my face! Waaaa . . . ."









The ABC book of Christmas, featuring Australia's most-loved illustrators. My favourite is Stephen Michael King's page on angels & sheperds, very lyrical






I won't blame you if you read it as "
God is Mark Macleod", it does look a bit like that, doesn't it?
