Some dudes from Janey's school's affiliated church's alcohol and drug rehabilitation program's work project (deep breath) came and blitzed our garden for us. The dudes also took all the junk from the carport to the tip, including all the cardboard boxes I was patiently dismantling and stuffing in the recycle bin every two weeks. I saved some boxes ( Read more... )

We had a nice ra-ra meeting yesterday to explain about how great our company is now that we merged with another company and are publicly listed. The sandwiches were good quality so I'm willing to be optimistic. It's generally accepted that the project I'm working on is doomed, but also that it's not really our fault (the 6-7 of us working on it). ( Read more... )

We got a new couch, but they call it a futon, even though it is not what I think of when I think of futon. Anyway it folds into a bed and we got some nice "Roman" blinds to go with it so now our loungeroom looks nice! And we got the carpets cleaned ( Read more... )

We're going to New Zealand this weekend! We're not exactly doing much touristy holiday stuff though, as we're mainly just going to visit Janey's relatives. The particular reason for the visit is to spend time with her grandad who is poorly, and we won't get this chance again for a while with the baby coming and all. We'll be staying in Auckland and ( Read more... )

We went to Geelong on the weekend, to visit various people, but they were all not home. All of them! We went to see Batman Begins instead, which was an enjoyable movie. We also took Janey's Pop to dinner, because there wasn't much around to cook. I picked a restaurant at semi-random: "Bazils Too". The name sounded dodgy but it's in a nice area and ( Read more... )
