Hello Hello,
Feel a longish one coming on, so sit back, relax and chill as I thrill.
Got broadband today, cable modem came after only 3 days, we were expecting 10 business days and I had going to Bondi Junction in the morning to check emails and stuff. Got back about 11 and Jen had been outside sweeping leaves when the postman had come so he left one of those cards. The boys, of course, had been in the lounge and heard the knock but could not be arsed to move from the sofa to look or tell anyone. They must have been quiet, probably busy with Bionicles, jigsaws and Nintendo DS's. Anyroad, abot midday we all went out and 1st stop was the postoffice to pick up parcel--- not there. driver not back yet. The down into Rosebay so Jen could register kids with doctor, then back to post office, not back yet. Ok then, off to Bondi beach for anhour in the saltwater kids pool at the North end of the beach. Usual story, Jim leads Jack off somewhere dangerous and Jack falls on rocks and hurts bits of himself, we get them back, I perfom some Daddy magic on the sore bits then fine them a dollar each for going too far away, we have a financial award, punishment scheme going on, more on that later. This fine now means that they cant afford an icecream each so I buy 1 between them, Jack revolts and sulks up the hill to car. We get home amid shouts, cries and moans whereupon he promptly falls asleeep in his bed. Just tired I guess, using the age old adage which is generally used to explain the distinct dislike a child has for some adults. Single people, don't believe it when you hear this phrase, it's just embarressed parents trying to excuse their childs undeveloped social skills. Some kids hate you, deal with it ;-).
Anyway, supposed to hear about a job today, but got nothing, recruiter is on holiday, have broadend my search terms out to include technical writer. Back from the beach via the post office, picked up cable modem!! hoo fucking rah, back online in 10mins, felt good, damn good.
Anyway 10mins after that, realized I have notheing I need to surf for, downloaded 150 unread spam emails and turned the pigging thing off.
So , a dinner of egg fried rice for Jen and I, fish fingers and smily potato things for the boys then I was off to make new friends at the Nort Bondi RSL club $10 buyin poker night, paid the money lasted 4 hours to be knocked out 4th (3rd gets $124, 2nd $360 and 1st $720) ARSE ARSE ARSE. Still, met some nice guys, mostly english, wierd french guy, this place is now my local I guess, 4k away but it looks out onto Bondi Beach and all the gems that has to offer.
Ok, thi saturday we are going to Fox studios to watch Despareaux the mouse fillum, then Monday is AUSTRALIA day, so I guess Bondi beach followed by a BBQ.
BTW, Every day there is some new strange bug discovered by Jen or the boys which I stalk with a can of poison and a tissue, caught some weird looking fucker tonight, looked like it had a human face on a grasshopper body, jeez!
half past midnight now so off to bed for 3 hours of the filthiest, hardest, emotional sofabed torture you can imagine.
Camera's recharged I think, so piccies coming soon...
oh so weak, so tired...quite drunk;-) xxx
