BrisVegas Take Two

So this weekend I was able to pop home and soak up on some Christmas Cheer from the family.

It was fantastic. Lucky for me I live by the beach, so I wasn't too gutted when it rained the
whole time, it actually worked in my favour,
I don't know if I could handle that heat normally :-)

Winfred the Winner Winner Winner!

I won Winfred on the weekend.

I was a "Winner, Winner, Winner!!" That's what the woman kept yelling.

And that's what happened.

I won.

Winfred is mine.
He's sitting on my bookshelf. Talk about excited!

Monday Nights

Every now and then you just need to take a Monday off work and go and take photos of nice looking things. It's good for the heart.

Being a temp has it's advantages. If you don't want to work, you don't. There is no guilt. No feeling bad because your taking a sicky. While I was sick I probably could have gone to work, but sometimes you just need to not work you know?

I am going to have 13 days off over Christmas. The thought frightens me. I don't think I've ever have 13 days off when I haven't been unemployed or on a holiday somewhere. What am I going to do with all that time?

I was thinking 6 books should be enough to get me through. A run in the mornings, swim at the beach in the afternoon, maybe even a quick trip to Melbourne for New Years and lots of photo taking, cooking, eating, guitar playing, talking and general tom foolery.

Amy - the definition of tom foolery is "Silly behaviour of no great wit." Thought you might like that one. :-)

Perfect

‘I wish I was a glow-worm,
Glow-worms are never glum.
How can you be sad,
When the sun shines out your bum?’

Rox - Never has a poem hit like that one just did. It says it all. I put in on the wall of my depressing little cube at work. How can you not smile when you read something like that.

Thanks you!

Ohhh, and if you have any profound idea for Christmas pressies please do let me know. Once again I have not started even thinking of gifts, let alone buying them.. Ohh to be organised... Am not going to let it get to me. Today I am a glow-worm!

Pinch and a Punch for the First of the Month

The whole pinch and punch on the first of the month thing has been a bit of a tradition with my dad for a long time. It tends to go in seasons, and at the moment it's all on. This month, I won! Again!

I love it.

I have been accused of cheating sometimes, on two counts:
1. I do it via text
2. It's not always the first of the month when I am getting everyone in England.

Because this is my blog, and I am allowed to, I would like to support my own argument..

In the first case, if I could afford to fly to London / Melbourne / Brisbane and get you all I would, I can't, so I resort to texting. I would imagine that getting someone via text would be a lot better than via email, so I don't understand what the problem is. 'This is the new generation man...'

Secondly, I think it totally applies to the time zone that you are in, how can I help it if the English are slow?

Rinnie and I did a bit of investigation.. Turns out that they don't do this in Canada, nor Brazil, nor America. As far as I can tell they do do it in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England and all other cool places.. Why wouldn't you take the opportunity to smack someone once a month?? Keeps life interesting I say..
