Since the last time I posted a couple of things have happened that are worth mentioning.
First of all, my dear mate Dan and his lovely girl, Ailin, got married on the 6th October. It was a fantastic day and I was honoured to be part of it!
Second, I started a new job. A little while [...]
I’m about to break a cardinal rule. I’m going to talk about politics (but only briefly). If you’re not Australian, or don’t have an interest in Australian politics, I’d suggest you give this post a miss
Right now I’m sitting in front of the T.V. watching the Leaders Debate, and I have to say [...]
In recent weeks I’ve seen interesting patterns of traffic to the site. I have been trying to figure out exactly what leads people here, but it has been a hard thing to put a finger on (despite the amazing functionality of Google Analytics). I had a sneaking suspicion for a while that I’ve been getting [...]
Help!!I need somebody…Help!Not just any body…Help!You know I need someone…HEEEELP!
I have lost count of the times I’ve heard this (and not just when playing The Beatles). In fact, to be honest, I never kept count, but I know it’s a lot.
On a daily basis I lose a fair bit of time helping my workmates. I [...]
It’s an age-old story: boy rings babysitter, boy harasses babysitter over the phone while slowly torturing babysitter’s boyfriend and telly babysitter that she’s next.
You see this thing in the movies all the time, to the point where it’s considered cliched. When the idea of it first came out, it was really quite freaky. Now that [...]
I now have an answer to the question that I implied in my previous post (ie. is the search over?)! The answer is: Yes! The search is over!
I’m not going to go into all the gory and graphic details (this is, after all, a publicly viewable blog), but I can say that after a single [...]
Today we may well have come to the end of our search. Tomorrow morning, at 8am, we meet the Real Estate agent and if things go to plan, we may well be making an offer on a block of land! How exciting. Check out the pic to see what we’re contemplating It’s just over [...]
Yup, it’s absolutely, positively disgusting And yes, it highlights my artistic abilities. Well, actually, it highlights my lack of motivation to actually come up with something coo so I instead hacked out the existing text and threw in something else. I know it’s horrid I’m waiting patiently for me main man Dan to [...]
Since we’ve been home from the U.K., Amy and I have been keeping tabs on the property market in the hope of finding a place that we’d be keen to buy. We’ve been renting ever since we’ve known each other, and I started renting over 10 years ago. This probably won’t come as a surprise, [...]
I’ve been renting for over 10 years now, and in my time I’ve experienced quite a few different types of neighbours. Some of them were really friendly - they’d invite themselves in for a cup of tea, hang about for a while to have a yarn before heading back to their own place. Some wouldn’t [...]
