Not 4 months!!!

Well Easter is over and we are moving onto winter - the pool is too cold to swim unless you have been for a hour's ride on the bike and then it is nice to cool down in.
 
Tafe is going well.  I have drawn a really convincing galah - will put him up except that John has just dropped a cup of coffee on the laptop and I cant access the hard drive anymore - shame I just bought a new hard disk drive - I think the laptop is dead. It is in pieces on the dining room table - John fell asleep with a coffee in his hand - he has to stop this god awful job he has - it is killing him.
 
Evan and Carly are coming for tea tonite and Garth is at the pub.  Sunday is warm and sunny - what's new? we were so looking forward to rain but it never happened - I think the tank is just about empty so the new plants in the garden will just have to die.

So much for good intentions

I set out out to update this now and then and keep a log....
 
My nephew Garth has come to live with us for a while - he's Cheryl's son - he's on his way north to work and needed a place to earn some money for a while. He got a job in a pub and didnt like it so he's roof tiling now - very physical labour. He has introduced me to the bike paths around our suburb and there are miles of them so I go out riding every now and then on my new pushbike.  The last couple of weeks has been first too hot, then I was away and this week I am recuperating from a cold.
 
Well since Xmas I have signed up for an intensive web design course at Brisbane TAFE - figure I might meet some like minded people.  Have missed one day already as I went to Sydney for Mum & Pat's birthday.
 
  • Mike took Mum & I to Jordans at Darling Harbour and Mum indulged in the seafood special - a tower of seafood that she shared with Ron (Mike's landlord) and they duly demolished most of it with gusto.
  • On the way home we visited Ann and David Robinson at Annandale and met up with their family
  • Sunday lunch at Shellharbour Pub is always nice - Pat allocated 2 hours for me to see him - I had asked him to arrange time off - kids!!!
  • On the way home we visited Ruth & Phil Church at Stanwell Park for a coffee and a chat
It's now Easter - how time flies - I got a cold a few days back and was laid low for 2 days - slept about 18 hours 2 days in a row. So I have had a loooonnnggg weekend.  
 
Cheryl and Ron (http://www.candrvanuatu.blogspot.com) came over from Vanuatu to look for some property to buy and had a flying visit.
 
We went to Carly's sister's 25th party on Easter Saturday which was nice.
 
We are to have a BBQ with Cheryl, Ron, Evan & Carly on Sunday.
 
John is still lollypopping as a traffic controller and I am still working away as a public servant - both wishing to win the Golden Casket and live a life of leisure.
 
I have recently decided that as John doesnt like the radio on in the house I will use his "you beaut" MP3 player I got him for Xmas and have loaded it up with John Williamson, Neil Diamond, Neil Sedaka, Rita Coolidge, Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie and a few chosen others and walk around like a teenager in my own world.  I can understand why people do it - you are off in your own world with no one annoying you and you just get on with it and do what you do.
 
Hope it's not another 4 months before I remember to update this.
