deck tidy effort

This is only the start of this tiding effort, I want the deck back, I am sick of it being covered in crap that was in the old garage.
  1. Arlec Star lights: I bought these with the vague impression in my head, that Arlec was a quality brand. Turns out they were, and this was one of their first adventures in crap outdoor electricals. A few years ago, Clara chews a few of the wires and I was going to repair them, really I was.
  2. A rusty tin of decking oil, that is soooooo rusty the lid has not been able to be removed for quite some time.
  3. A large but short bit of pipe (diameter: Nearly a foot ~25cm, length, less than a foot) that I acquired, from a skip, quite some time ago to make into a cat house. I saw the cat house in a shot and it cost a fortune. I said, "I'd be able to make that myself, piece of piss" Anyway, the cats have not been living with me for quite a few years now, so I think it's time to let go!

I was going to include a box of hair that I have been collecting as I have been trimming the dogs, but that is mostly from laziness rather than it actually being a 'belonging'

bye bye jarmies and some others

  1. When you look at them, you'll understand why they had to go. I have had these ones since I lived in Mildura since 2002. I'll miss you (of course the top is becoming a rag, but I'll keep the bottom half, there is nothing wrong with them, we have to go these things in stages you under stand!)
  2. Two more books for the book library at work. One was a present from a friend, but it's really not that me. The other is a self help book I bought at an airport and really didn't help me at all.

It's a Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful Life is a film that is mentioned in Red Dwarf a number of times. Today I bought it from JB, on a trip there with Fiona (which was instead of doing house work). Neil and I just watched it. I know I've had half a bottle of champagne and everything, but I really enjoyed this movie. It's no wonder at all why it is considered a classic.

Mr. Gray

I was out at an event a few weeks ago, and chatting with a very nice lady about all sorts of stuff, and the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde came up. This was a book I started to read of the inter-web many moons ago, when I discovered that I really hate reading off the screen, so I stopped and never got around to finding myself a hard copy. I mentioned my list to this lady and decided that finding a copy and reading it might be a good way to get rid of pesky task 96, that I remembered was still hanging around. Anyway, I forgot to write a post and tell you about this change, even though it has been up on the site for a while now.

OK, next bit of this long sager, I had to go to Sydney this week for work. I wanted to take my bag on the plane as carry on, but the pesky lady out the counter weighted my bag and it was two kilos over! So I checked it with out remembering to get my novel out of it. Oops. Oh well, just have to buy another one!

Then I remember Mr Gray, so I went to the book shop to try and find him. This task duly accomplished, with the help of the tall shop assistant, I started reading. This book is defiantly not my usual type of book and I don't think I even had the knack of Mr. Wilde's really long sentences, even by the end of the book. There were whole passages of dialog that I just couldn't work out what the people were on about. But over all, I think I liked it. It was quite a bit deeper and more meaningful than my usual novels. By the end I really was quite happy to pick up my David Eddings again though. Sorry, I'm just not that deep!

books

Well, that took a while. I have been typing all night and have finished cataloging my novels. Obviously this needs a way spiffier web page, which I'll do, but later.... not today

It's over

ok, so apart this last weekend (birthday party that had really nice free Champaign and friends dropping round for pizza), the dry month wasn't as bad as I thought. This means I have proven to myself that I am not an alcoholic, which is nice.
That being said, I am totally going home from work tonight and having a cider.
