Went to Meag’s housewarming party this afternoon, had a great time, and got a bit pissy. I’m such a cheap drunk. Like Unlike
Riding, climbing and riding some more
Ever have one of those days where you wake up, and you know you’re going to be sore by the end of the day? I had one of those days just last week. My friend Jens had proposed that he, Mat, Julie and I all ride to Mt Coolum, climb it, and then ride home. [...]
A rice cooker is not the same as a slow cooker.
Today I left to get my hair cut and coloured, which meant Mat would have to take on preparing our dinner. The instructions I gave him were simple; at 2.30pm he was to take the corned beef from the fridge, open the packet, and put the meat in the SLOW COOKER. Cover it with water, [...]
Wow – I’m engaged!
Traditionally, Christmas Day isn’t always a completely positive affair for my family. Oh sure, we have the typical moments of love and happiness as we sit there gorging on endless food with our friends and family. Usually, someone has always had too much too drink, or has a drug induced mental illness, which causes them [...]
Staff Christmas Party
Last week I flew to Sydney to join up with the rest of the company for a couple of meetings in the morning, following by a brief Christmas party. It was best to take the opportunity while we were all together, as the staff members are scattered amongst states and countries and it’s incredibly rare [...]
A simple request for when I die
Today I will be attending the funeral of a friend who sadly passed away from cancer on the weekend. His life was cut drastically short; the world has lost a treasure and there is many, many people who will sorely miss him. The thought of going to a funeral got me thinking, they’re such sad [...]
We came, we saw, we conquered (climbing Mt Coolum)
A couple of weeks ago when I was feeling particularly energetic, I made the silly decision to suggest we climb Mt Coolum. For those who don’t know much about Mt Coolum it’s well known on the Sunshine Coast, renowned for amazing 360 degree views at the summit. From the official Coolum website: Mount Coolum is [...]
USA 2009 – Day 3 (San Francisco)
This morning we woke early and immediately jumped onto a cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf. We were heading to Alcatraz today, so decided we’d explore the pier before we caught the ferry to the island. We were also incredibly hungry, so first mission was to find something for breakfast. We located a cafe, but nothing [...]
Australia Day 2009
Today was such a great day. I’m looking back on it at almost 11pm at night, thinking just how relaxing it was. I wish every day could be the same. It started off with having a sleep in (excluding the extremely early hour my dog woke me up for his breakfast), followed by lazing around [...]
Sunday at the beach
Midnight saturday night mat insisted he was going to go and spend Sunday up at the beach, just relaxing. He made me check the tides (since google searching is still beyond him unless it involves the words 4wd or boobs) and come Sunday I thought it would have just been another drunkenly rant of his.
