House

Congratulations to new Golden Glober, Hugh Laurie. Laurie's in da House, man.

Unfortunately his success means the Oscars are just around the corner. And that means Hazel is already furtively planning her annual Oscars bash.

She kindly arranged southern Perth's night of nights to be held at The Burp's home last year. Kindly for me, that is. My condolences to Burp.

But, even with the sun yet to rise on the Golden Globe after party, I sense a return of glam and glitter is on the cards for our little den.

It's around this time every year that discussion in our home turns to getting a larger house. Preferably one with a soundproof bunker.
