G’day. Hope you’re well. And yeah I am as well thanks for asking. Well this is new isn’t it? It is for me anyway. Just think. All this time I’ve been rabbiting on about Crimsafe into a big fluffy microphone in some random studio. All I’ve ever had to do is chat a bit, some clever fella has packaged done his thing on a big long panel with more buttons and sliders than I’ve had hot dinners, and then – after cutting out all the bad bits and false starts, chop it up into neat little 30 second packets. Then voila, onto the radio they go for all to hear and marvel at haha. And just another example of my golden tonsils hitting the airwaves all over this wide brown land. I mean all that has been relatively straightforward. For me at least. I walk in, someone presses the big red ‘record’ button, my lips flap around for a while, and then after an hour or so, home I go to a cuppa, lie down, and maybe a chin wag with Kimmy’s Mum in front of that day’s episode of ‘The Bold’. Yeah I know. Sad isn’t it. This time but, it’s all different. I’m not speaking it you see. I’m actually writing it. Interesting twist right? Oh, and I’m using a computer to do it no less! I mean just between you and me, I ‘ve always much preferred your good old trusty pen and paper, but hey I get it, 21st century and all that. So I’ve had to put on my big boy pants, and get used to the fact that ‘digital’ now refers to how this is info is being gathered and arranged inside this clever little machine in front of me, and not about the fingers (i.e., ‘digits’), which I use to type it. Did you get that? Digits versus Digital. Clever aren’t I? But while we’re on it, and to be totally honest, my actual typing is abysmal. Seriously, rubbish. All the typos I make! No wonder they call me ‘sausage fingers’ at work. But I’m working through it, slowly getting my head around it. Thankfully, one of the nice young girls at Crimsafe’s office has shown me how to use ‘spell check’. That’s a big help, and it means you won’t have to put up with me making grandma errors. Haha. Like that one. And yes, that was deliberate. Just checking you’re still with me. Anyways, I reckon I’ve prattled on for long enough. Let’s make this official shall we? Welcome to, (can someone roll out a big royal sounding fanfare please?) ‘Kimmy’s Dad Home Safety Tips’. What’s it all about? Well it’s a chance for me to sit here, jot down some important stuff once or twice a month and kind of have a chat with you I guess. Unapologetically, probably predictably, every article will be centred around how good Crimsafe is. ( As it should be I guess, I mean it is on the Crimsafe website and I am on their payroll, so well, ‘derrr’). We’ll talk all things home safety, Crimsafe product developments and evolution, Crimsafe maintenance, the odd caramel slice recipe and a whole bunch of other stuff designed to make you think a bit deeper about security at home, or at work for that matter. Just joking about the caramel slice btw. Once again, testing if you’re still here. I’ve had a quick squiz at some of the things my mates at Crimsafe want to tackle, so I’ll be back here pretty often, I’d reckon. I guess the message every now and then is to check back every once in a while and to see what’s happening. On that, one of the nice lasses in Crimsafe marketing has said, and I quote. “We’ll probably pump some of your stuff out on socials as well”, to which I politely nodded, pretending I knew what she was talking about. Socials eh? In my day a social was the annual school dance where you’d try and ask the girl you had a crush on in the next classroom for a dance. And mostly fail. I don’t think she means that kind of ‘social’ between you and me. Guess I’ll find out more. Rightio, well I’ve said my bit. If you get a chance, the nice lasses at Crimsafe Marketing asked if you could sign up for my updates. They said they’ll email you. I politely nodded. What’s an email? Anyway, talk to you over the next month.
