Study

I wonder if this man has any van Praag genes in him?

Josh Freed, author, filmmaker and star of 'My Messy Life,' works the phones and reads a newspaper in his organizationally-challenged office. I found this article on <CTV.ca>.

Snakes in Season

This is a fuzzy camera picture not of a Tasmanian Tiger, but of a Tasmanian Tiger Snake. We spotted this one pretty much at the end of our usual Kelcey Tier walk, behind the houses there! This one was about 150cm I figured, but we also saw a smaller one up on the hill. Recently we have been sighting some little ones, but this one was a beauty. When I say 'we' it usually means K. sees them first.

Motorbikes and Oliebollen

Starting the year of with Oliebollen in Isaacs, Canberra was one thing, but little did I realise that at two consecutive Hash Runs in January I was to be fed more home-made Oliebollen! 

And not only that, a neighbour, who is currently away, has oliebollen she made waiting for us in the freezer! Never have I been so well endowed in the oliebollen department!

And as for excitement, for a Hash weekend away last week I borrowed Cindy's Honda Motorbike (NT 650). I rode with a couple of people to the town of Ross for the event and back the next day. The riding, camping, drinking and lack of sleep made my sore throat into a bit of a more serious cold. But riding a motorbike is so exciting, it is awesome! I was reminded know why so many men my age buy motorbikes. If you cant afford a Porsche, don't have a 12 inch penis, then a motorbike will make you go a long way too!

A week after borrowing Cindy's bike I borrowed another bike, a 1200cc Suzuki Bandit. Wow! Like a bat out of hell. It was a little bit like how I expect heaven to be. Awesome cruising here in Tasmania. The roads are perfect as they do not get frost or heat damaged.  

In the end I swapped the bike back for our car :(

New Years Eve 2008 in Canberra

For New Year's Eve I went to Canberra to be with family. We ended up celebrating with Mini and Milton at their house in Isaacs, not far from oma.


Views of Canberra as we heralded 2009.


Started the new year walking with oma and Kimba in the Red Hill nature reserve.

All the photos can be seen <here>.

Carins Family on the move

We gave Ivor and Melissa a hand move house in Launceston last week too.

Fortunately they had a truck with two dudes come and do the hard work!

Alison Track

We took Peter and Pip and Arlo on the Alison Track and introduced Arlo to Alison's Lizard on top; Preateena.

Wiiii

Katherine found her new Mii. Here she is getting in shape with some boxing on the new Christmas Wii.

Michelle in Devonport

Michelle came over for a couple of nights of entertainment! She was dragged to the Sheffield Stastion to have pizza (home made of course!) with K. and then our attempt to kayak was thwarted by the weather and instead she bought a new bike and we took it for a spin! More photos <here>.

Very merry happy

This is my favourite one for the year!

Summer Vegies

Katherine's vegies are doing well. She also has bean, tomatoes and chilies hiding in other parts of the garden! K is working over Xmas and New Year at Sheffield, which leaves Afullah and myself free to stuff ourselves with chocolates over the silly season. I might pop past Sheffield station to show my face and make sure they are not drinking on duty.
