I’m sitting here on Saturday after watching the Hurricanes lose in the semi-final of the Super 14 thinking that I should really start packing.  I’m off to Melbourne for a week tomorrow and have a full day planned from 09:30 until I get on my plane at about 15:00 so don’t have a lot of time to pack in the morning.

Unfortunately I still have to:

• Sync my iPod
• Make sure I have some books on my Sony reader
• Make the bed
• Pack
• Decide whether or not to take my 30D and if so what lens to take (probably my 28mm)

Oh well better get off my chuff.  Have a good week everyone and I’ll twitter if I can 🙂

I have no idea what he was thinking but as I was taking pictures of Max’s black eye Elliot said I “had” to take a photo of him. The messy face is due to the fact that he was in middle of eating vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate sauce….

So even though Max didn’t take his scooter to school yesterday he still managed to get in the wars.

Boy + boy + scooter = this 🙂

Just a quick entry to say something I had forgotten to say.

Max now has four adult teeth! Two molars came through last week and so now he has the two bottom front teeth and two completely new top molars at the back.

Vic and I had a great weekend in Sydney and are back feeling worse than when we left 🙂 If you keep an eye on the twitter feed you’ll know all the stuff that we did but here’s a brief synopsis.

• Left on Friday afternoon and got together for dinner with some ex-Dell bods that I used to work with
• Saturday morning we headed off on the train and visited IKEA. We used to love going there when we lived in the UK and I was just thankful that we had small suitcases with us on this trip…….
• Saturday afternoon we headed down to Kings Wharf and had a work-related harbour cruise for three hours which was nice except for the rain that came in at the end. Here’s a pic taken with my phone with the Opera House and Bridge.

• Saturday night was the work function that was the reason for the trip. The Hilton in Sydney is only a couple of years old and the function itself was well run and very enjoyable.  The rooms were really nice and we had not too bad a view. Again a phone pic as we left the camera on the kitchen bench at home!

• Sunday was spent wandering around Sydney and more specifically Chinatown and Paddy’s Market. Bought a few presents for the kids and then it was back to the airport for the trip home.

Max had his first game of football (soccer) today with the little dribblers football club 🙂 Unfortunately Vic and I are in Sydney but supposedly Max’s team won 4-2 and Max scored a goal! He also got a certificate for player of the day!

The whole theme switching thing was just confusing me and I’d get a different one every time I logged on so I’ve disabled it. Sorry to anyone that used it 😉
