so so

another week has rolled on by. what has been achieved this week?

- done a couple of shifts at my new job and have some more lined up next week
- had an interview for a "real" job (as ash would have it) yesterday. wont hear back until next week
- have just spent a couple of hours cleaning the house top to bottom. a clean house always feels better for some reason
- had a couple of meetings with people about the consulting business. slow progress being made here
- cooked a few meals. had a nice slow cooked pork belly last night with the best crackling ever (yum).
- finished ~1000 out of 2500 riders on Sunday in the great bike ride. not bad for a fat "b.....". Average speed was 28km/h which is probably quicker than i have ridden for a while (and i did very little drafting)

So what's coming up:

- going to visit friends (Dale and Girls who are over for a couple of weeks) tonight
- going to a party on Saturday night (an ex work colleagues 60th). that's how you know you are getting old - when friends start turning 60.
- working Monday, Wed and Sat next week (at the moment)

Update:

- everyone seems to be going ok (nothing really to report)
- ben cousin's football career is hanging by a thread. he has nominated for the draft but it looks like only Brisbane might be interested and there is no guarantee
- the lynx continue to get flogged every week (Mel is still getting splinters)
- the weather has been shit (coolish, stormy and windy) and not conducive to cycling
- Xmas is coming (but the money tree has died so all you can expect is a hug)

till next time think about this - I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
