I'm running out of title names...

How many different ways can you say "update"?

Last Friday night Hayley came over for dinner to have one final catch-up before she and Niki leave for their OE, and to check out our house. We had takeaway from Masala Club - I know I've said it before but their butter chicken is soooooo gooooood! We had a great time just sitting round the table talking, and did quite a bit of reminscing about the old days. It was a bit sad saying goodbye - I don't know when I'll see you again Hayley! I'll miss you!

Early Saturday morning (last Saturday) my dad came over and we went to my uncles farm to get some firewood. Dad and another uncle chopped the tree trunks into managable pieces and we all took turns at choppin them up. Sounds more impressive that it actually was. Dad had built a woodchopper with a hydraulic ram so all we had to do was put the wood underneath it and pull the lever. That's not to say it was easy work - there was still a lot of lifting and carrying to do. We had a good system going and filled three big trailers and a ute in a few hours. We unloaded our trailer in the driveway and it hasn't moved since. We really should get round to putting it away. Hopefully with this weekend being a long one we should get lots done around the house.

This past Saturday night 69 came over to have dinner and watch movies. We had home made pizza - very yum, and saw Children of Men and The Departed. Children of Men was alright - what made the film was Clive Owen (I think he's a dish). The Departed was WAY too long and kinda boring.

Well I had best get back to work.

The past few weeks have been pretty uneventful. Q and I have been sick for what feels like forever, so the unpacking took longer than anticipated. Everything in the house is all organised, now we just have to organise the garage where we'd put all the crap that we don't use but don't want to throw away. Plus the old owner left cupboards, drawers, a chest, chairs and other rubbish which we need to get rid of - I think a trip to the very exciting dump is in order.

It was Cam's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Friday night was dinner at Le Dome. I felt horrible and could hardly speak but I dragged my sorry arse along. The food was great, as was the company but we called it a night early so I could go to bed. The birthday celebrations continued on Saturday, but I wasn't well enough to go.

On Friday night Q and I went to the Tonic7 Expo. It was a special evening for VIP's, and we had a great time. It was an urban lifestyle expo showcasing "sophisticated" products, like kitchens, bathrooms, European cars, spa pools (the really flash kind with speakers and other cool stuff) and lots more. It was nice to dream.... We were given name tags to wear - mine said "Kim Weber". Well that felt really weird!

We decided to get out some movies on Saturday - You, Me and Dupree, and Saw III. You, Me and Dupree was lame, and Saw III almost made me throw up it was that disgusting, but I liked it all the same.

Till next time.
