Look --- It's an Update --- Don't let it get away!!

So here we are again. So much for posting every week ah? Have been a little busy recently although nothing much worth writing about. Actually I've kind've lost interest in the whole blogging thing really. This afternoon I went and looked at two vans with the Pharmacist. We'd already looked at one previously, turns out it had a blown head gasket. The second one we looked at appeared to have the same problem. Yesterday I went and picked Mr & Mrs Incredible and their wee one up from the airport. It was nice to see her again, she's getting big now. Before that I was at the Pharmacist’s place for lunch with Ariskah, MJ & B, everybody else that got invited was either too busy studying or out of town but it was still nice. On Saturday afternoon I went to a sound training course which was great fun, MF had organised it and I'd forgotten all about it (even though I'd put it in iCal) until he rang up the night before and reminded me.

Blogging is Bad for you!

Apparently. According to some dude from the Reformed Church of God.

Reformed Church ah? Makes you wonder what they did in order to need to be reformed?


Anyway, I digress. Today is very hot, but there's a nice wind blowing which is keeping everything cooler. The wind however, is hampering efforts by firefighters to bring a bush fire under control not far from here.

The coolest news of the day today is that I was able to use the money I got, from selling the Silly Little Japanese Car, last night to make the last payment on my student loan!! Hooray!!

It's a gone-bee

What's a gone-bee? I hear you ask. After weeks of trying, the Silly Little Japanese Car is now gone! It's sold! This is the best news of the day!! I'm so excited!

Since I'm at it, I should probably try and write some other stuff too since I was going to make an effort to write something at least once a week and it is a week since my last post. (Oops! Two weeks.) So what have I been up too? Well, Ariskah, the Pharmacist, M & I had our last Ceroc lesson on Tuesday night. The guy that was running it said that they like people to go through 2 cycles of beginner lessons before they move up to intermediate. There was talk of attending the ones at first church but it's going to take some juggling to get a night that suits the 4 of us.

Monday I spent the morning at Mitre 10 mega with Dook buying 2 trailer loads of timber for a mammoth project that we are constructing at work.

Sunday I spent the afternoon lying around watching Holden loose Bathurst to Ford. I thought Mark Skaife was going to clean up, he was starting from pole position, but a slipping clutch saw him taken out of the race in the first few hundred meters. The other HRT car managed to pile into the wall too. As did one of the Supercheap Auto Holden’s, the AEG racing Ford, the TKR Holden, one of the Toll HSV Holden’s, both FPR cars and others. In total the safety car was used 10 times, at points in the race there were only a few laps at full race speed before another incident occurred. I was also nursing a knee injury that happened when I was at the gym on Friday. It's heaps better now though.
