Riding the train home tonight, we once again went flying past our station. At least this time he only dumped everyone at the next station - last time it was two stations away before he stopped. The excuse from the driver - I forgot to stop. Well that just makes it all better doesn't it. Half a train's worth of commuters dumped off...
As anyone who knows me can attest I have severe issues with needles or cutting, so that pretty much rules out any medical procedures. My wife complains endlessly about this because I won't get a vasectomy. So I went to a skin cancer check today because I gashed my shoulder last Christmas and it cut through some freckles on my shoulder. It healed...
I'd heard it was good, and the effects are certainly impressive, but I have to say I found this rather lackluster. It was a movie by numbers, the only thing it had going for it was the stunning effects of the riders, and that doesn't even start till quite a way into the film. The rest of the time its boring, with a...
Damn its cold here! It's currently a high of seven, but it said three degrees C on the outside temperature gauge. It's so cold, when I pulled the lever in the car to clean the windshield this morning, the water jetted out and froze straight on the windshield. I ended up with a sheet of ice that i couldn't see through. I managed...
Rob's had to nip back to NZ for a few days to attend a funeral. Beagle's very close relative died, and Rob's gone to give her some support. It was a bit sad really - he'd been diagnosed with stomach cancer two weeks ago and given a year to live, he had just enough time to have a short holiday with his partner....
Here's a panorama I made the other day of our 4 acre block that we just bought. It's beautiful but it's going to take a lot of work to beat into shape. Just gotta watch out for those snakes...

I've wanted to see this film for the longest time. I'd heard so many good things about it, and I'm pleased to report it's an awesome film. Very imaginative, beautifully shot and acted, lots of depth and layering to the film. I didn't even mind that it was in Spanish with English subtitles (the video shop girl said that people were putting it...
Awesome film! Great fun. Really really enjoyed it. Sure you can pick holes in some of the plot, and there are times where some slightly shonky dialog is uttered ("there's more than meets the eye ... to you"), but its just such a lot of fun, who cares! It was certainly the funnest film I've seen in a long time. I saw this...
My god what was I thinking? We've just bought 4 acres of land. I don't think we realised the amount of work that was going to be involved. It's a massive undertaking. We've been out spraying poison to kill all the long grass so we can mulch and plant. Then we had to get in and slash a lot of the overgrowth down...
