Coming down to this house reminds me of the first time we came here. It was just after my 86 year old Dad had been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I spent a lot of time on the front porch here talking to my Dad that year. While we were down here he was actually quite...

[Updated 8/1/06] 8am It feels like it is going to be quite a warm day. I head out for my walk about 8:20. 9am I'm walking along the main beach and the wind has freshened up from the South and is quite cool. There are also threatening dark clouds inland. I wonder what...

It has been an absolutely beautiful day in Anglesea today. I have been talking to my daughters in Melbourne and apparently it has been really hot there. Not so here. It felt like it was going to get really hot this morning around 9am so I closed all the windows in the...

Written Tuesday 27th December 2005 We had a slow start to the day today. We were both really tired and enjoyed the sleep in. I often walk each morning when I'm here but not today. We went down to the Surfing Albatross for coffee. The 'Albatross has changed owners...

I've decided to change the style of chriscurnow.com for the next couple of weeks while I am taking some R&R down by the beach. I am going to use this time to post a diary of my summer holiday. We all need a break from the heavy schedule of our routines. Holidays are a...

Christmas day is almost over and it's been a wonderful day. I still love Christmas Day. It started off sunny but cool this morning but has been overcast most of the day here in Melbourne. We've even had some showers. The Curnows start Christmas day with everyone...

Whew! What a week. We finally have chriscurnow.com running again. As of right now, we have still got a lot of work to do, but at least we can publish entries. chriscurnow.com is temporarily running on a Mac Mini, while we wait for our iMac G5 to return from hospital....
