A Serious Bad Boy

 Ever Given. Stuck in the Suez cannel.

Now freed but 400 ships held up desperate to get through. This will impact all of us at some level with delayed shipments and higher costs.

Una and Jack

 Very important people in my young years. So kind, funny, generous and energetic. They never had kids which was a bit sad but good for us..

Una was mums sister.

New Skills

My V-Drums are bringing out new skills I never knew I had. Not amazing drumming skills but electrical wiring skills. My room is starting to look very third world and frankly a little dangerous....but great fun

A very nice lunch at India Today with work colleagues. We celebrated Shiri's 25 years of service to the company.

A decadent and enjoyable finish to the lunch

Big Fish

 I have often told my boys about the big fish that used to be caught in our local waters many years back.

Here are some examples from 1970.

Dad 100 Today

 Or would have been. Instead he passed away in 1984 at 63 years old.

Family info.

Timothy O'Sullivan (1840) dads grandfather and not in the picture.

First wife Ann Anderson, second wife Mary Ann Curry. In the picture below 'Frank' (Francis) 1885 was dads father and the son of Timothy and Mary Ann. The woman in the picture, Mrs T O'Sullivan was Mary Ann Curry (second wife)

Below various picture of dad with mum and family.
He had a great sense of humour, worked hard to keep us all fed, schooled and housed. He never ever promoted himself or stole the limelight for himself. He was a fairly private but personable guy. Not a lot of tolerance for moaners, slackers or wimps.
With his grandkids at the time.
With my little bro and our family car. Morris 8 (Wow)
Younger years.
