Quickie

Just a quickie to say that I have had the best moment ever today... why you ask? Well.....

This is why.....

Yep.. Me & Richie together at last :)

That's not frustrating.....

Oh wait, yes it is!!

I seem to constantly have pc issues at home. For some reason (ok I know the reason but I am trying to make people feel sorry for me) my data usage has gone over my monthly limit and there is still 14 days left in the month - believe me I am counting!!!

As a result of this.. my internet is running EXTREMELY slow... you really take some things for granted and when they are taken away from you, you realise how much you rely on them. I know that in grand scheme of things slow internet is really not a life threatening problem but hey - I live in a developed country, there are just certain things you become accustomed to!

Ok so not only that but my pc has decided to restore itself to an earlier point - meaning that I cannot now access my games. Having slow internet was slightly easier to bear because I had games on my pc that I could play... but no now they have gone away too and I can't download the game manager because the bloody internet is too slow and it keeps crashing out! Not only that by my Norton has decided it doesn't want to play anymore either... seriously - it is never just one thing is it...

I know, I know... these things might not seem important to others, but to me they are. Everything in perspective right!! I mean, I don't have a partner or kids or commitments other than work to occupy my time.. I need to have some kind of an outlet right? I am even getting to the point when I might just have to load up Age of Empires again... yes I am getting that desperate!!! Luckily I do have internet at work so I can use that - one of highlights of working on a public holiday is being able to hang around and use the internet to play my FB games - I think I am beginning to sound more & more like a geek!

I think I should go and do something more constructive before I really give away all my sad secrets :)

Pretty Darn Excited

83 sleeps to go... I am very, very excited... only 83 sleeps to go till I have two weeks off and I head to Melbourne for 3 days and then Christchurch for 10 days. I haven't been home since Easter (which I know is not long ago for some people) but I just love going home to Chch... its just.... its home!

But I am also excited about Melbourne - I love it down there. I haven't been down for a couple of years - actually two years ago in Nov (83 sleeps!) and last time I did the same thing I am doing now.. flying down to Melbourne, then home and then back to Brisbane.

I have also decided that whilst in Melbourne I am going to do a day tour to the Great Ocean Road. http://www.viator.com/tours/Melbourne/Great-Ocean-Road-Small-Group-Eco-Tour-from-Melbourne/d384-3181GOWEST1 .. a full day from Melbourne but I reckon it will be a great day out.

I have already bought my ticket down to Melbourne, got my accommodation sorted in Melbourne (just gotta pay for the balance), got my flight back from Chch to Brisbane and got the hire car booked in Chch... just gotta get my ticket from Melbourne to Chch, get the tour sorted and pay off the rest of my accommodation and then it is just save for spending money :)

Really can't wait...
