Proof that Grailers rock. Funding Campaign achievement....unlocked!!! Thank you all so much for your support.

Took our kids to see Prince on Saturday night. Woke up to this lovely thank you note from them all.

Spotted myself and the wife in a photo from the Brisbane #Prince concert. Behold, the circle of awesomeness!

Bit blurry, but gives you an idea of how good my seat at #Prince was. #nobodyinfrontofme

Enjoyed @Daniel_Loxton's nature videos very much, but almost had coffee up the nose when I returned to the tab.

Augmented the Grail Cave with a new bookshelf to fit the 98 books bought on the weekend. Two walls covered! #win

Crikey! An actual copy of Darklore 6 (paperback) in the wild. She's a beauty isn't she?

Phoenix at the Aust. PGA with @AdamScottPGA - absolutely made his day.

Microscope for the kids = awesome Xmas gift achievement unlocked! Thanks @capnmarrrrk @andoctor !!

Little ghouls came home with 2+ kilograms of candy tonight. Mind you, who wouldn't give sweets to faces like this?

Work continues on Darklore #6. Here's one of the finished title spreads...

Big Sunday at the Qld Rocketry Society launch day. Saw some big guys go up, including this 20ft tall monster.

Raised vegetable garden complete! Now to deal with 2 weeks of backed up Daily Grail work....

Third and final instalment of Operation Turf-the-backyard this week. Cold beverages well and truly earned.

Looking good!
