Like any reasonable text, this one has a number of characters. Unlike a short story text they will not be few in number. There are some principal players, however; and it is only fit, dear Reader, that you should be introduced to the characters.
The Disciplined Non-Conformist:
A 1963 model, he has ventured into blogging as a way to keep a modern style of journal.
For his sins he works as a teacher of English, (Head of Faculty for what it's worth...) but being originally trained in primary education, the people he works with are a greater motivator than the subject, not that he doesn't think that English is the best subject to allow people to obtain an education.
Currently he is also trying to complete my M.A. (coursework) through the University of New England.
Mrs Non-Conformist:
In keeping with the whole disciplined non-conformist theme the poor long suffering child not-bride is mother of The Disciplined Non-Conformist's two children. The Disciplined Non-Conformist and he are married, they've just never been churched.
She has relinquished a promising public service career (now there's an oxymoron if ever there were one!) to travel across Australia and fulfill the dreams of a tree change and to live a less hectic life than the previous one. Her general demeanour varies between total undergaduate and Queen Boudicca of the Iceni.
Glow-plug:
The elder daughter, who is so named as she behaves in the fashion of this piece of engineering. She takes some time to warm up, eventually the engine fires and like most diesel engines produces reasonable torque, but always at low revs. Her world has been turned upside down coming to Victoria, where in Year Seven instead of being King of the Shits in Primary school, as is the case in Q'ld, she is Shit of the Kings in High School.
Beelzebub:
The younger daughter, who is so named owing to her general proclivities for evil, even at under four. For more information refer to http://beelzebubandfamily.blogspot.com/
This photo shows all dramatis personae at recent event that will be blogged in the fullness of time.

The Family at Mrs Disciplined Non-Conformist's most recent birthday. The hysterical grins are brought about by The Disciplined Non-Conformist's remark, just as the shot was taken, "Everybody say the magical word - 'Multiple Orgasm!'" Note Beelzebub being held still to avoid an incidence of Planned Mayhem. Glow-plug just smiled naturally, we are still waiting for her to understand the joke.
