After initially thinking we'd spend a couple of weeks in Perth we actually spend about six weeks, oh well, doesn' madder.

Photos
After raving on about how many photos there were in the last issue, there's not many in this one at all. That's because we've been just sitting in Perth (well Fremantle really) and I've really been more interested in other stuff like producing prints for a gallery in Tasmania, and fixing computers.

Hopefully there'll be more photos in the next issue.

Investments
For some time now we've been unhappy with the performance of the mob we have our hard-earned invested with. They've done little but lose our money, and charge us for the privilege.

Now I know most equity-based investments have taken a hammering lately, and I can almost live with that. But the fees just keep draining off every month regardless. We could just about live on the amount we're being charged.

While in Perth we went to see a firm of brokers who were recommended to us by someone who knows more about these things than we do. Presumably the people at this firm know what they're doing because the business has been around for over a 100 years.

Fortunately the person we spoke to was a lot younger than that, and apparently on the ball. Time will tell what we do, but for the moment we'll just sit on things.

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
