New here? Six of the best Dad's Dead posts on parenting, emigrating from South Africa to Perth, and getting older.
Dad’s Dead is a newsletter for people in their 40s who are somewhere between fine and not fine. I moved my family from South Africa to Perth and write about what that does to a man, mostly in the school car park.
If you’re new, these six give you the idea.
Drowned Rat
The day I nearly drowned in an open water swim and a stranger shouted "well done, dad" at me.
The Rat’s Back

Small Talk

Dot Ball
The two people who gave me every Wednesday and Saturday.
Anybody else shitting themselves?
Anxiety at Disney on Ice, and what I did differently this time.
I Wonder If There is a Schindler’s Lifts in Germany?
Not my fight. Not today, Alfred. I want to get my passport.
