I was tidying a drawer full of old CDs when I came across one labeled “Music for a late night”. Finding that CD took me back several years to when my then business partner Tom and I had a small office in the beachside Sydney suburb of Coogee, where we put together our magazine FREE ACCESS.

My wife Rocio recently had some photos printed, including the one below of herself and our 18-month-old daughter Grace.

Of course I know that I’m a very lucky man, but this photo really brought home just how lucky I am.

I wrote this short piece in 2002. I thought of it recently, and found it on the backup of the computer I had at the time.

No one told me Paul Lyneham died. I only found out after his widow wrote a book about her life with him - about two years after his death. I heard her interviewed on the radio.

I asked my work colleagues whether they had heard that Paul Lyneham died.
