Mum passed away 21 years ago

It's surreal to realise my mum passed away 21 years ago on the 1st of April 2005... it's not been that long, surely?

Love and always miss ya, mum! xoxoxoxo

You never forget.

I caught my passion for reading - and movies - from my mum.

Dad has been gone for 30 years - Inconceivable

I find it inconceivable that my dad passed away 30 years ago (12 April  1996)... no way! I still miss him every day.

He was a good bloke!

Today would have been his 96th birthday... what a staggering thought!

💥 Random Memories of my Dad ðŸ’¥





Love ya! xoxoxoxoxoxo

It's a Manly Thing

I have followed Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the Australian Rugby League since I was a lad. And yes - they are the team everyone else loves to hate [laffs]. I'm not a die-hard fanatic - nothing like that, just a supporter. Win-lose-draw.

I grew up within a (literal) bull's roar of Brookvale Oval in the 70's. I could hear the crowd's distant roar while I listened to the game on the radio... those games I didn't attend! Dad used to drive me and a mate to a local shopping centre near the oval, and I'd walk up to the ground to watch a game. Good fun memories. Then Dad would listen to the game on the radio (Frank Hyde on 2SM!), and come pick us up at the same place after the match had finished.

(Frank Hyde's radio call of the 1977 Rugby League Grand Final Replay)

GREAT memories.
