It’s starting to feel like Autumn in South Australia – a little bit cooler, shorter days, the occasional drop of moisture in the air – which means that we’ll be doing less of this….

…on Boy Z and Papa Party Days.

But not to worry. We’ve been working on some indoor entertainment. A lot of you may not know this but, being the good father that I am, I’ve made Boy Z’s troubled teenage years much easier for him. In a moment of parental brilliance, Formerly Fun’s Chris and I have arranged a marriage between Boy Z and her Bebe. Before you get all liberal, freedom of choice-sque and human rights-y on me, just think about it. How much easier would the age of 15 be knowing that you’ve got a beautiful California girl waiting for you? 90% of teenage angst vaporised. He’ll thank me for it.

At any rate, Chris is forever showing off her Bebe’s dance moves and I’ve started to worry a bit. Boy Z hasn’t demonstrated much in the rhythm department. What’s he going to do at the wedding? There’s nothing worse than watching the groom stumble and bumble through the first dance. Well, as the summer days turn a bit cooler and we have more time indoors, I’ve decided that one of my paternal obligations is to teach Boy Z to dance.

If you have a look below, I think you’ll agree that we’re doing pretty well. It’s a bit manic punk rock right now and the only song he’ll dance to is the Barenaked Ladies’ “It’s All Been Done”. But it’s absolutely worth hearing that song 647 times in the last few days to watch this kind of unspoiled joy.

Still no internet at home and with a four day weekend ahead of us, I doubt that it will be getting sorted for the short term. So, my continued apologies for infrequent posting and commenting. Oh, and a festive holiday weekend to you all, gentle readers.

We’ll be dancing.
