ouch
Play football at lunchtime and have this happen. It makes for fun walking…..
Yet another Labour Day public holiday missed because of travel to Australia. I worked out that I have had one Labour Day public holiday in the last six years because I’ve worked for companies based in Australia and they don’t have the same holidays and seem to organise things for this week 🙁
Here’s what I’m up to over the next month:
Phew………
Cool! I’m sitting here watching the cycle road race at the Olympics and the cyclists are going through a place called Badaling just outside of Beijing. That’s where I visited the Great Wall of China in ’91. I even recognosed the carpark after all these years 🙂
I’ve finished (at last) reading James F. Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn trilogy all in one go. Six volumes each at more than 600 pages in paperback form! Naturally I read it on my Sony Reader and what a great read it was!
It was a strange series mixing sci-fi with a lot of afterlife/spiritual threads mixed in. The 3600 odd pages flew past and the the ending drew all the different story lines together brilliantly.
42 – that’s how old I am today!
My day has been spent “working from home” and looking after a sick wife and 3 year old – to be fair it was quite nice looking after the family.
Besides my new MacBook Pro Vic bought me a harmony universal remote that I can program on the PC. The boys also bought me a Wii Fit which Max and I had a hoot setting up tonight 🙂 I’m a very lucky man…
Not so lucky is the fact that I’m off to Melbourne for another week on Sunday 🙁
I’ve moved to the dark side! This is my new toy – 15″ Macbook Pro. I’ve had it 12 hours and am still trying to figure out how to do the basics but am enjoying the un-learning/learning process.
This was a great weekend for football (soccer) results:
Max and I also had a great bonding moment this afternoon as we sat there cleaning our boots together…..
I’m absolutely knackered after 4 days of training and having to use my brain.
The first few days were HBDI related with the second day being particularly hard work. We then took what we had learned and did two days of presentation skills training. Out of it all I have three DVD’s showing a meeting and two presentations. They should make for interesting viewing, maybe even for Vic! 🙂
That’s all really – I’m in the Air New Zealand lounge in Melbourne looking forward to getting home. Unfortunately the flight doesn’t get back to Wellington until 12:20 in the morning 🙁
