I just bloody deleted my 1st blog entry for months...bugger!!!

So...you get the gist...and it was really funny/witty/urbane...arse.

I'll give you a summary in bullet points and write a better one next week, honest.

- I am not dead/ill/traumatised in any way, just lazy/busy.
- Our washing machine broke, but we bought a new one. And now I keep getting that very strange Kate Bush washing machine song in my head. We had to cut away part of a door architrave to get it to fit - annoying.
- I chopped down a tree in the front yard because it had fallen over.
- Gert tried to choke herself on a piece of chopped down tree wood. She's fine but had to have 2 antibiotic jabs.
- Gert's disgusting ear scab/growth is being surgically removed on April 21st.
- Tennis ball chuckers are great - every home should have one.
- The weather here is getting quite wintery - mainly wet, cold & windy.
- Luckily I have a new Drizabone raincoat, so I don't care. ($100 off in a sale)
- We have mice, but I've caught 2 of them in my brand new humane mousetrap & relocated them behind the church hall at the end of the road. Jo thinks I am a soft git for buying a humane trap.
- I have been busily writing my Ancient Egyptian Archaeology course, but am already a week behind schedule (I've only been working on it for 3 weeks).
- If anything dramatic/traumatic did happen to me, rest assured Jo would let you know.
- I went to a Gay Ex-Pats club & spent the entire evening talking to a bloke from New Zealand. It was crap.
- Our pub quiz has disappeared, which sucks.
- I am now working 3 mornings a week at the Drama School cafe.
- I have got a Kiwi hooked on 'Heat' magazine, which is bad as it costs $9 over here. But its nice to know what Kerry Katona is up to.
- I'm getting my bi-annual haircut tomorrow.
- I'm listening to the Martha Wainwright album, supposedly one of the albums of 2005 but I'm not so sure.
- Jo is trying to teach Gert to play dead. I am trying to encourage the use of the command word "blam!" with matching gunfire hand actions.

that should keep you going for a couple of days at least...

Adios!
