My good friend James has arrived in Stockholm and a 24 hour journey covering Sydney, Bangkok and Helsinki.
James isn’t frigid but Stockholm sure is as you can see from the picture here. It’s all ice, ice baby in Sweden. They’re having the longest winter they’ve had in eons. Normally the people and the weather have [...]

My Birthday Present: Anything But iPod!
Darling Yoda bought me the perfect birthday present this year. Very happy, Jan!
It wasn’t easy because every goddamn shop in the country sells those awful Evil Apple Empire things called iPods. And they don’t offer much else. Yoda had to be pointed to…er, I mean…had to discover for himself, a special online shop that imported [...]
Swedish Christmas Bazaar in Sydney
Yesterday the Swedish Church in Sydney held their annual Christmas Bazaar. James and Yoda study Swedish at the cafe located next to the Swedish church and naturally wanted to check out the bazaar. I was asked to tag along but was stuck waiting for a Woolies Homeshop order to arrive before I could jump in [...]
Surviving 41C….at IKEA
Holy Hectopascals! How do you survive a 41 degree day in Sydney? Well, for James the answer was going to IKEA. And he roped me into going too.
James and Yoda have their last Swedish lesson for the year on Tuesday night and there’s going to be a bit of a Christmas party. Everyone has to [...]
Photos from the Horse Shack, Sweden (with love to Gustav)
When I returned back from the big overseas holiday in August, I was supposed to gather all the photos I’d taken during the Sweden part of the trip. They were supposed to be put on a CD or DVD and sent to my host in Sweden, the gorgeous Gustav.
I got as far as ‘tagging’ all [...]
There are some things money can’t buy…for everything else there’s Gustav!
My fabtronic friend Gustav – who hosted Yoda and myself for 10 days in Sweden recently – has always been generous when it comes to helping out with translating things from Swedish into English. His father began exposing him to the English language from the age of 2 and then, of course, all Swedish children [...]
Home video footage of JudgeG & Yoda
Something nice and personal…as we prepare to embark on an overseas adventure, I thought it might be nice to share some private home video footage of myself and my best friend Yoda.
A nothing kinda weekend
Sunday night and as I look back I see a pretty nothing kinda weekend. On the left you can see a giant Big W bag (comes up to my knees) that I bought for $2.49 because it was so big. I also got a couple of T-Shirts that were on sale at Big W.
Yesterday [...]
Getting in early for Yoda’s Birthday!
Here he is, the birthday boy! I’m getting in a little bit early – it isn’t his birthday for another 1 hour and 46 minutes as I type this. But anyway, Happy Birthday Yoda! This picture of the birthday boy is uber-new – just took it last night at Petersham RSL. Isn’t he adorable? Hard [...]
