It's been six month's since I had the reverse-cycle air-conditioner fitted throughout the house. I wanted to install it before the summer to be comfortable when the sweltering days came. It turned out that we had little, if no, stinking hot days over the summer, and six months later, my...

It is a sad reality for owners of early-model soft-top convertibles that the soft-top would always leak. At one point or another, water will seep through the window seams or the A-frame seals whenever it rains or even when you get a car wash. Aside from making sure the top...

For over thirty years, the Mazda MX-5 has been the dominant two-seater sports car, known for its excellent road-handling and driving feel, but it has...

It looks like I will be eligible to get my COVID-19 jab next month, now that the government has agreed to start mass vaccinations for anyone over the age of 50 from the 3rd of May. This means I will get the vaccine earlier than planned.

Australia has two vaccines available,...

For many years I was fortunate to have a car park in my city office and drive to the office. Parking in the basement, I could take the lift from the basement up to the office. The convenience was great, not to mention the status of a car park at...

I am not sure how I get myself into these situations, but I find myself in a hybrid work model this month, where I am doing two days a week at my new job and three days a week at my old job.
