Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

I laugh every time I think about Derek's five year old daughter announcing on Christmas day; "Wow! Santa must have more money than Oprah!". Comes a close second to her "decorations" comment a few years ago....

Less than two weeks until my birthday....

Went for a walk around the Botanical Gardens on the weekend. May become a regular outing...

I met my niece this morning. Really didn't want to come to work today - wanted to stay at my parents to play!!

Went to see The Spanish Apartment (L'Auberge Espagnole) on Friday night. Related to the lead character a little too well - he is also scared to settle down!

We ventured to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl last night for the rehearsal of the Carols by Candlelight program - along with around 5,000 other people!

The Flies! The flies in Melbourne right now are absolutely awful - especially around Albert Park Lake. One things I certainly did not miss over the past three years!

Worked in Richmond yesterday. Not that much fun.... wonder how long until my next holiday?

House sitting over Christmas and New Years in a lovely big house down by the beach. Can't wait!

Thanks to Steve, I am now the proud owner of a Railway t-shirt which was sent to me accompanied by an Angel of the North card. Made my day!!

Busy weekend! Celebrated Marla's birthday on Friday night with dinner at The Mentone Hotel. Saturday was a sad day with the three Jerry's Seinfeld's travelling up to Marysville to the cemetary in rememberance of a friend passed away a year ago. Saturday night was spent with Kerri and Bob. On Sunday I walked around Albert Park Lake with Dan and then mid afternoon found myself at a pub in Abbotsford. Love sitting in a beer garden on a Sunday afternoon!

The Robbie William's concert was fantastic. Duran Duran (Simon Le Bon looking lovely!) supported and even returned to the stage for an encore!

New Zealand

Hopping Kea, I'll be buttered on both sides / breaks my clog, KFChicken roomate, beeping at sheep, "I've had the time of my life" party girls, "I'm not going to wait for you to get your card out of your bra everytime you want a drink", houdini bread, Trailer Trash, trash sack, Milford Sound, Ingrid's impression of Holly, road kill - total between Wanaka and Fox Glacier 51, napping in car, "Ahhh Wanaka", Fox Glacier trek, "so we meet again a- - hole", Barbeque Galore, "noi", arrowords, "I'm not pushing you, I'm just supporting you", "How long? Geelong". My return to Melbourne was as the storm of the century hit. Waited for 2 hours in luggage claim as the baggage handlers were unable to remove our bags from the plane due to incredible lightening - the drive home was a little crazy in pouring rain. Was a pretty amazing storm!

My brother the next Bradman?

Six more days until Robbie Williams concert...
