quotes for day

By all means marry; if you get a good wife (or husband), you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)

and because it appealed to me:

Each person has an ideal, a hope, a dream which represents the soul. We must give to it the warmth of love, the light of understanding and the essence of encouragement.
Colby Dorr Dam

qfd

It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.
Jean Nidetch

been a while

its been a while since my last post. sue was on holidays so we were out and about and last week i worked nights from Sunday to Wednesday, then sue and i jumped in the car and drove to albany (about 400km south) to stay with some friends - kim and mike.

we had a great time - too much drink and food - but the company was fantastic and the house and setting were wonderful. Kim's daughter steph and her husband giles and new baby (kaydan) also stayed. new babies are such a distraction (they are a bit like a fire). we played golf one day and had a really nice lunch in Denmark on another day, otherwise we stayed home and chatted/relaxed.

I was supposed to work today but i have strained my back (not sure how but probably too much golf) and i am struggling to bend over so i would be no good lifting anything.

here are some photos (random order) of kim and mike, steph and giles, the baby, the view from the balcony, the moon (we had a full one to watch).
