The problem with a cheeseburger is that word that is hanging off the front of the word ‘burger’- Cheese.

Celestial fields in ultra white glow, palaces and fabled animals unicorns and gryphons. All your other selves all become one at the meeting point at the gateway to eternity at the big pearly gates with that bearded man or is it the pot bellied one? He guides you on and you walk along a fragile [...]

He stands on the back, tall thin and gangly as if he doesn’t eat enough or his metabolism eats stuff up way too quick, the guardian in a flannelette shirt with a red and black cross pattern. He’s in control riding the back of the trolleys, like Captain Ahab on the high seas, his rudder, [...]

“Go to Reg Hunt”, a voice seemed to boom from below the clouds. The golf clubs were being hefted into the boot, they snaggled against each other with metallic cries for freedom. The boot clumped shut with a low frequency boom and I was left staring at the spot of exposed red undercoat on the [...]

Now that the days are as short as possible and time is as tight as a near empty toothpaste tube, you’ve got to get as much done as you can in the remaining hours before bed – including eating. If you’re as organised as me you make a meal last two days- even three in [...]

Boxed quilted jacket, a green anorak. Walking to school on crisp winter mornings where the puddles had frozen over, stepping on the puddles and hearing the ice crack. Seeing the rainbow colours of petrol that had leaked form a leaded fuel tank. The smell of leaded car exhausts purring while waiting to exit the dirt [...]

Out at Bundoora Pets they’ve got all sorts of small animals for sale – kittens are particularly cute with their playful clumsy moves or their purring snores as they lay about in supa-comfy positions. There’s also a range of rabbits with big felt floppy ears, pet mice that seem to dart about like matchbox cars [...]

It was one of those things that he just kept putting off. It was like the washing up in the sink that had been there so long that the fried egg had become part of the plate. The rotting scraps of other food smelt like garbage and had become a haven for midnight raids by [...]

“To be or not to be, that is the question”, I think of that famous quotation sometimes when I get a quote. I question internally if the person supplying the quote should be allowed to ‘be’ or not as it’s usually ridiculous. A few weeks ago I went down to the technical fix it shop, [...]

Scared stiff, stiff as a sheet on a freezing chilly morning. The entry to the drive-through bottle shop is just around the other side of the gravel car park, but I oscillate and vacilate – my heart racing and stopping.”Come on It’s just a botlle of Smirnoff, no biggie”.
