I have been watching a lot of slight of hand magic on the internet lately. I love it, it keeps me entertained for ages.
tonight i thought i would give it a go myself. And i must say i did a pretty good job.
I was scooping out my ice cream for dessert and, well lets face it scopping ice cream isnt normally all that entertaining. So i set out to make my ice cream disappear. I knocked the bowl on to the floor, smashed it and abra kadabra my ice cream was gone infact so was the bowl, i turned it into 2 small bowls.
with just over 2 weeks until we jet set off to the UK, I’m starting to get super excited about a 3 week holiday.
I think for one of the first times in my life there are people who are really starting to get on my nerves, more than i can ever remember. So it will be a lovely moment stepping onto the plane and taking a break.
In other news I think 2008 could be the year of howie getting a tattoo.
Today two of our buddies got married. I was all dressed up in a suit and tie. Wife and I were ushers.
It was a nice wedding, although the minister began his sermon talking about a diamond incrusted g-string and how he saw it on the internet. not your average wedding sermon.
The reception was fun too, at a fancy place in pyrmont.
I whinged the other day when i discovered that the charcoal chicken shop in hornsby closed.
Today it re- opened with a new name and a few bits of silver stuff stuck over the top of the old decor.
It’s now called ‘Flying Chicken’
bit of a strange name, anyway it was important to see how their chips would be. Their chips arnt as good as the old days, this new mob gets a 3 / 5 for their chips. dissapointing.
Yesterday my phone number was supposed to port across from soul to virgin.
It didn’t so now if i make any calls or text i’ll be charged by soul casue my number hasnt ported. So today i spent 40 mins on hold waiting for a virgin person to ask them what the go was. He told me they had no request for me to port a number.
I filled out a porting form in the virgin shop!!!!!!!!
But they had no record of that. So now i have to wait up to 5 days from now for my number to port across.
To top it off the man tells me i wont get velocity points becasue i didnt purchase online ! the man told me in the shop that it wsa all good. Frigggen shop man, velocity is the main reason i joined virgin mobile.
Today I went to TEAR work. I bought a travel 10. I got a new mobile phone. I got on the wrong bus with wife. I got off the wrong bus. I send some emails. I recieved some emails. I sent some letters. I worked on a resource pack. I caught the train to the inlaws. I ate chicken pizza. I ate more chicken pizza. I drank coke. I drank splashe. I went home. I farted. I blogged.
Well as you know wife and I have been asked to move out of our house at the end of June.
And it just so happens that in the same week we have been asked if we would take up a new job.
So at the end of June, Jenny and I will be moving to Armidale to take over from my parents in their picture framing business, we will be the business owners and are looking at ways of expanding the business to help local young people with employment oppertunities. We will also begin producing fair trade clothing.
It’s a big call but we think its right.
Its probably a shock to a lot of you, but due to some current circumstances a change of pace is what we need. don’t worry Armidale isnt that far away!
I think the desert is broken. I flew out here on wednesday morning and since I have been here it hanst gone over 25 degrees. Today its all kind of overcast and dull. whats going on!!!
I want just one scortcher, a nice 45 degree day, oh how i love the heat.
In other news I have some seriously chunky,red dusty snot.
I’m off to Uluru with work today, in past years I have spent 2 weeks on a coach to get out there and back. This year I have the luxury of flying. But some noob booked me on the friggen 8am flight from sydney airport.
I should be able to get a little bit of blogging done whilst out there, and will return on sunday.
for the record, i booked my flight, all to save $60 i chose the early one…..deary deary me
you have probably already read the news on jenny’s blog. But if you are looking for a more offensive and insensitive version of events then please read on.
We got an email on Friday morning from the family who own the house we are staying in. They let us live here rent free while they have been in New Zealand for the last 2 years. It’s a tops house. and 5 bedrooms is just the right amount of space for the 2 of us. Anyway they emailed to say they are heading back to Australia probably at the end of June. Which is nice, if I lived in New Zealand i’d want to move back to Australia too.
To break it down for you, just in case you are thicker than a rugby league players neck, we have to find alternative accommodation. Apparently not only are they coming back to Oz, but they want their house back too.
Once we heard the news we jumped into gear and came up with a pretty weet option. Kmart is having a sale on 6 person tents, so we headed into Kmart but the dogs had sold all the tents. So that option is gone.
Leaving us with only a few other avenues to follow.
Arrange for a close family member to take an early trip to heaven
Guilt some rich person into giving us their home so they can pursue their life long dream to be a gypsy.
Move all of our stuff into one of the ikea display apartments in Rhodes
Buy a campervan and park it outside our neighbors house so we can use their unprotected wireless internet.
Ask kevin if kirribilli house is still available.
Look at renting our own place on our limited budget, probably somewhere like LaParouse, Cowan or Hunters hill.
Buy a property and build a kit home from those magazine subscriptions where each month you get the next piece.
pretend we have a sick child and go live in Ronald McDonald house
Change the locks on our current place so the owners cant get back in
