Dad's Birthday

Today is Dad's 70th birthday. We had his party on Sunday at the Steam Club. There were many people, we hardly forgot anything, the balloons were a disaster, much champagne was drunk and everyone seemed to have a good time, including Dad. Here are some photos:

Counter

Do you like my new counter? Isn't it nice? It even colour co-ordinates with the rest of my blog, which is nice :) Does anyone know why I made my blog pink anyway?

Just had to share this with all....

I have never done this before but here is a link to a post on someone else's blog. Before clicking it, I will put in some more stuff, just to tell you why I have linked to it. I found this particular blog when I started my 101 in 1001 list. This ladies site is great and you will probable recognise the spiffy table for tracking 101 progress if you look around her site. As I have been tracking her progress on 101, I have been reading other posts at random from her blog. I don't even know why I started reading this particular one, after the first few lines I nearly stopped, but hay, it's 10.30 at night, Neil has gone off and left me home alone, what better things have I got to do with my time, so I kept going.....
It's well worth it, read it, if your female, you'll love the writer, if you male, this week I don't really care what you think. Next week, if your male, and don't think the lady was justified either kill your self, or keep the hell away from me (again I have the love flowing to day.... I wonder why?)
Any way, I loved it. Giggle with me

Wow! My Blog is over 1 year old!

I missed the day, but I started this blog on the 17th of February last year, I can't believe it! One whole year of my dumping my head/rants/crap on to the internet. I started with no readers, then picked up one or two, now I have like three whole readers!! Thank you guys for all your support!
Now to two of my readers out there, get your act together, get a password, and leave some bloody comments, I mean gees it's not like I do this blog for my own entertainment ;)
Loves yous all!

New Bed

Quite some time ago, I was in a position to need some legal advice. The advice I recieved was terrible. It ran basically along the lines of, if you don't have any money, they can't take any off you. So I went and spent my meager savings. One thing I bought was a bed. It was an ok bed at the time, but that was 10 or 11 years ago.
Our last fire pay arrived and we happened to be changing the sheets on the bed. We decided it was time to get a new one and what better thing to spend the fire pay on. So we ordered it, and it has literally just arrived!!! Yay We have only tried it out in the shop, but tonight should be really comfy!!

Canberra

So here I am in sunny Canberra (with Steve from work), doing this training course in ArcGIS Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis. I was expecting to be completely lost and have no idea what was going on, but so far, it's been quite good. I have followed everything, not asked really stupid questions and even had opinions.
Last night Steve and I went for a walk to Lake Burley Griffen and around the town. It was a lovely evening, here are some photos

Todays the day

So today is the day we all got and meet the 'new' family. I think I'm a fair bit nervous about this. I don't want to say the 'wrong' thing. Oh well, we'll see in a few hours....
