Mr Bump loses his honour

Stop the press, Mr Bump's number plates have been stolen! Some scurvy scum has nicked off with the plates and buggered up our plans for the weekend. Thankfully, its fairly easy to get some new ones, except that our car's registed in Western Australia, so we have to get stuff sent from over there, grrr! Here's Rory giving the number plates a wistful look when we were at Uluru in November.

Last Sunday (probably while the plates were being unscrewed) we joined a mass walk (trespass?) over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to celebrate its 75th birthday. It was like when everyone crosses Tower Bridge in the London marathon (the skies were grey enough) but with no running involved. Look at those crazy crazy hats... it was wild!

Harbour Bridge trivia: 17 people died in its construction, but only 2 from falling off the bridge. This is surprising cos they didn't have any safety gear and just cavorted around on the bridge with only a trilby hat and pipe for protection. Most died from things falling on them. Two people also survived falling from the bridge. The design of the bridge was more or less copied from one in America.
Caroline saw Take That perform in Martin Place on a breakfast TV show, a lifelong ambition fulfilled!







Dennis, the IT guy from my work, has now got a dream job at the Lowenbrau brewhouse, so we had to celebrate with a rigorous quality control tasting session, 1 litre at a time.

Oh and one last thing - go and see the movie Hot Fuzz, you won't regret it.
