the wrath of the yellow m & m
last night at the swans game we had those little snack packs of m & m’s and i got out one for me to eat. Then i got scared. I easnt sure if i could eat them. There was a very angry looking little m &m on the box. I thought m &m’s where nice and friendly, maybe a litle cheeky but not evil.
its hot today!
Arrived at yulara on thursday arvo, its a fun little resort village i like Yulara. And tomorrow we are getting up at 4am. thats right 4am. Why did i say yes to coming????
nah having a good time, i do like coming out to Uluru its a pretty damn azaming place. but there is way too many flies.
red dust fun
marla is the town and absolutely nothing is their game.
trip going well, we reach uluru later this afternoon.
thats all.
2 weeks in a coach
well today i leave for the red centre. As i do around this time every year.
I feel i a bit sick, tired and overwhelmed this is only going to get harder as the 2 weeks go by.
Have to say i’m looking forward to being back home.
anyway there wont be much bloggin in the next 2 weeks.
Up there with George W
Yesterday i couldnt for the life of me work out what 9 + 7 was.
I had to use a calculator.
for future reference i know now the asnwer is 16.
I had fun at work today. I was able to be silly and cheeky and a little naughty. I even managed to get on an Austrian film crews documentary about a sydney chef. Austrians are firendly people.
I should be on tv man i was funny today. And modest boy oh boy am i modest.
for those of you a bit confused, i spent the middle of the day in the city walking around with my arm inside a friendly puppet called Angus
I feel like i need a holiday.
I would still really love to have a holiday by myself in another city one day. I think i’d love it. I love being alone in cities, exploring and taking photos.
maybe i should save up and go on a short little getaway before september.
gift shop time
I had this brilliuant idea tonight that at our wedding ceremony we have a gift shop at the back of the church, stocked up with official jenny and howie merchandise.
mugs and spoons and t shirts and beanies. posters, clocks, oven mits, tea towels.
the possibilities are endless.
but alas. jenny reckons its too self indulgent.
jamie oh jamie
Remember the good old days when I used to blog each day?????
Oh we all miss those days.
Not a whole lot has happened since I last blogged.
Well actually that’s a lie, I did throw up yesterday morning, and last night I went to see Jami cullum at the state theatre with jenny, debbie, tom, jemma and cilla.
It was awesome!
He’s such a good performer is that Jamie, he was jumping all over the place, so much singing, his set went for just under 2 and a half hours. I feel like I got my moneys worth.
He told silly jokes, sung silly songs and serious ones. His band was pretty kick butt too.
I’d go see him again live.
keeping connected

this is my new phone, a nokia 6230i.
It has lots of fun things, but most of all it will connect to my laptop and let me send emails whilst at uluru and itemise my bill so that i can get reimbersed for work calls.
its hard work finding a phone that will talk well with a mac laptop, most of them only come with software for pc
V for Violation
Well I just went to the urologist.
I was nurvous and rightly so i would say, i have never been so violated in my life.
I wont go into details but listen to this sentance from the urologist lady as i was laying half naked on her bed thing.
“Ok now roll onto your side and bring you knee’s up to your chest”
I tell you what, i hope i never run in to this lady in a supermarket.
As a side note for those of you who are actually wondering what the urologiost said in terms of my infections. I need to go and get an IVP and also cystoscopy . both of these procedures will be carried out at concord hospital sometime in the next 3 – 4 weeks. I have a perscription for more antibiotics in case the infection flares up while i’m at uluru in a week or so.
It’s a Woman!
Well as you may know on wednesday i’m off to a urologist who will hopefuly be able to work out whats wrong with my bladder and kidneys.
Today i found out its a Woman,
I have to drop my pants for some woman i’ve never met before…….Ih dear i’m scared.
“Mr Howie please drop, turn and cough!”
oh man!!!!!
Can’t believe i forgot about April fools day.
stupid howie.
broken feed
blogfeed seems to not like me.
it has put me right down the bottom. It thinks i’m posting in 2005 but i’m not…
mmmm ikea
yesterday jenny and i spent a fare bit of money at ikea.
We have the coolest chairs and a really comfy footon thingy aswell.

We got this chair , 3 red and 3 white.
We also went to a display unit in a big building in rhodes. We cant afford to live there but its nice to dream
