It’s funny - I’ve been to Perth what I consider heaps of times, but the most recent trip was 18 months ago. Some observations include that Perth is hot, but it’s bearable inside (unlike Brisbane) even without airconditioning 24/7. There are flies here.
Had a good flight over, secured an upgrade to business class on Tuesday, [...]

ok ok ok
As planned, tonight at my place, the Learning to Play Puerto Rico seminar. We’ll order pizza or something equally non-stressy, but because of the value of the game, and the fact that it’s owned by Edward, food will have to be finished before we get the game out.
My place, anytime after 6pm, with [...]

Ok, everyone, that’s it … I’m so close to holidays I can TASTE it. Seriously.
Callun’s graduation ceremony last night. I’m tempted to start wearing a robe and a pointed hat. Which reminds me that this is a good laugh.
I hope everyone has a great christmas and a safe new year. I’ll be in Perth for [...]

Last night was the pseudo family night, due to my laziness bailing me out of Tuesday’s festivities. I slept again in the most uncomfortable guest bed ever, and drove mum to work this morning.
Woo has his graducation ceremony today, which is all pretty exciting. I’m picking Mum up from work and going straight there, via [...]

You won’t believe it … I just found out that work is closed for the Christmas break next week. How unbelievably awesome is that?
Anyway, so yesterday I lost my mobile phone, but I found it this morning. I’d also lost my watch recently, but found that this morning too. So today is shaping up to [...]

The planets have aligned in such a way that Lara and I have a relatively free weekend, but a couple of things to celebrate - Alan/Stavros’ birthday, Lara’s last day at work for an indefinite length of time, and the general arrival of Christmas holidays.
With this in mind, I’m proposing either a lunch or dinner [...]

This morning, I agreed to a 10% pay cut.
This has happened every year at the end of the year … we run out of money, and I’m faced with the decision of being unemployed over the new year break, or taking a cut and hoping to get it back when things look better.
I’ve also been [...]

Well the weekend went pretty much as expected. Crazy hot though.
Saturday spent the day lazing about before heading to Rob and Nadia’s for their christmas party. Headed home at 5pm to prepare the house and foodstuffs for guests that evening. Leyton piked, so it was just Bek, Brett, Blacky and me, and by the time [...]

Good morning, one and all. I feel pretty good today, so even though Glenn posted a great entry yesterday, I’m going to knock it from the top of the pile. Sorry, Glenn, but that’s just the way things are.
Ok, tonight I’m going to see Spirit of Christmas at QPAC. Let me say “bah humbug” before [...]
