Well, slowly but surely we are once again entering winter. I guess at the moment I still don’t mind it, like it even, although I’m sure all that will change by March.

So much has happened lately that I really don’t know quite where to start.

Mum and Dad are back in Australia and Mum is just waiting for the next operation now. All fun and games there then…..not! The fallout from that whole situation appears to be that my sister isn’t communicating with Ina or myself any longer. We don’t really know what we did (or didn’t do)  - and really, who should be the judge of that?, certainly not my sister! After several attempts at trying to get some insight on the situation and with zero feedback we feel it best to forget about her and her childish ways. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say……

So many things between the months of July – September broke. Seriously! Let me start a list:

1.) Washing machine
2.) Electric toothbrush
3.) Network Hard-drive
4.) iTunes/iPhoto Hard-drive
5.) Mobile phone
6.) Home phone

And that’s only what I can think of off the top of my head. Anyway, have replaced most things now anyhow and the new washing machine we bought to replace the old one is kick-ass.

Well, as I guess most of you have heard, an iconic figure in pop has died at the tender age of 50. Details were released today of his death at the Beverley Hills home where at about midday on Thursday he stopped breathing. He was pronounced dead two hours later at the UCLA medical centre. Jackson’s brother, Jermaine, said he was believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest.

Jackson, who had a history of health problems, had been due to stage a series of comeback concerts in the UK, beginning on 13 July.

Speaking on behalf of the Jackson family, Jermaine said doctors had tried to resuscitate the star for more than an hour without success. Here is the video of the press release Jermaine has made:

Unfortunately, perhaps by his own doing (though we may never know) he had a very troubled life and was constantly under scrutiny from the media for his friendships with children. I really haven’t made my mind up about him and possibly never will although I would like to believe that he was just a boy trapped in a man’s body. One thing we can all be certain of is the contribution he made to the world of music, some of which I doubt will ever be forgotten.
