howie’s halfpipe

Today was my last day at work until the 12th of January, holidays, I like holidays, holidays are good.

Anyway we went out to lunch today at la pacthetta’s or something like that, an Italian pizza place in Mt Colah, the pizza was good but there coke was really bad it tasted like liquefied margarine, I think it was La ice or RC cola or some cheapo bodgy imitation.

After lunch it was back to the office stayed there a bit then walked across to Westfield to sort out some stuff at the medical centre. There where police everywhere in the mall and people everywhere. It was like 10 minutes after a bank robbery in hornsby mall. The police where trying to block off the area and Westfield security where helping, I got to see bess again!. I went into Westfield then came out again after being to the medical centre and they where putting up police tape and tv crews where starting to arrive, very cool, so much action in our little hornsby. I watched the story on sky news tonight and apparently it was national nine news’s top story.
Some woman in the bank got shot in the arm through the window.

Another exciting thing I saw whilst over in Westfield was a young couple probably in their early 20’s getting a helium balloon down that had floated up to the ceiling, now the ceiling in Westfield is quite high, but this was a smart couple they had built a pole out of McDonalds straws and bent over the last straw so it was like a hook, and there they where trying to get this balloon down, good on them I say, there’s nothing quite like a free balloon.

I’m off to Armidale tomorrow on the train, and there is a train strike scheduled for 10am til 2 pm my train leaves at 10:36 so if I’m lucky I might get caught up in strikeness, making my 8 hour journey even longer.

Bel and steve and Phoebe gave me a Christmas present today it was a “fridge mate” case of coke and some bob the builder chocolate, little ripper what more could a boy want ????????
