Oz Day 2016

Celebrated Australia Day early by playing with acoustic group Unwound when they opened the show at Adelaide's Coast FM 88.7 Australia Day Family Picnic in the Park at the Glandore Community Centre.

We performed a selection of Australian-themed songs leading into the City of Marion's Citizenship ceremony.

Welcome to our new citizens and thanks to the Weekend Warriors Music Club and Coast FM for the opportunity to perform and for their support and to Stephen Rees Photography for the photos of the gig.

Arrow and Jedda

My grandson calls me Arrow. He can't yet make a "gr" sound, and his early attempts to say “Grandad” sounded like “Ah-woah”.

His other Grandad Karel (Karl) is Czech. The Czech word for Grandad is Děda, which to an English-speaker sounds like Jedda.

So our grandson calls his two grandfathers Arrow and Jedda, which makes us sound like a couple of retired superheroes.

I quite like it
