• Send off quote, update WordPress, fix Cinderella Barbie's head…all in a days work. #
• Haven't moved from this desk all day, time for a little walk outside to get some of this thing called 'air'. #
• Such a grey day, hard to lift your spirits above 'getting by' on a day like today. #
• After a chat this morning neighbour from two doors up just knocked on the door and loaned me his sheers to trim back bushes in front yard #
• Ooops, that should have been 'shears', not 'sheers'. There was no exchange of stockings. #
• And thanks to Miss Marita for pointing out the missing 'k'. Kan yu tel mi minde isnt reely fohcussed todai? #
• So 'Burnt by sigar' is actually 'Burnt by it's anger'. Who would have guessed. #
• I mean, seriously @Richmond_FC, the Gold Coast? Right back where we started from and then some. #
• Thinking about adding a 3rd monitor but the CFO is giving me nasty looks when I mention it. #
• Odd – The SBS site is giving me malware warnings in Chrome. #
• Dinner on, not sure if the kids will like the chicken pasta thingy I'm trying, pizza place is on stand by. #
• Lemon soy chicken rigatoni surprisingly tasty and popular. #

• Rolled the dice on some washing but by the looks of the sky I'm gonna lose. #
• Bert just used an apostrophe correctly when he wrote "Henry's". he did spell mine "myn" though. Still, I'd count the apostrophe as a win. #
• Why is that when an @optus rep says 'trust me' I have the exact opposite reaction? #
• Ripped off, no earth tremor here. #
• Now that's an old school electrician, he called his apprentice 'The Boy'. Happy to recommend to any one needing a sparky in the west. #

• That fog is thick. It's shrouding the street light a few metres from out door. #melbourne #
• Great trip to Bert's school this morning to see the movie his group made this term. Seems to be a great, progressive school. #
• http://t.co/cCK3BBe will not come out and do a quote for a deck roof unless both of us are at home. Point blank refused. How ludicrous. #
• CLOUDS/JESUS JONES/THE WONDER STUFF at The Palace, August 19. Anyone interested? #
• Dad Pasta rules again. #
• I like the new look Google Calendar, very clean. #googlecalendar #
• Can't quite understand why the RACV don't have their road side assist number on the front page of their web site. @theracv #
• Perhaps the RACV could move Jason from sales to the road side assist number to help shorten the wait time… @theracv #
• The new Gmail look, that matches the Calendar improvement, is pretty cool too. #
• 3 kids cooperating to get a ball out from under the deck, beautiful to see. #
• The key to getting the lounge room clean? That's easy – promise blue heaven milk shakes. #

• Kids all in bed and asleep. It's been a long week so dad isn't far behind them. #
• Half an hour spent building Lego with Henry. Ah, the joys of having Lego loving kids. #
• Update a web site, send a quote, have a nap…a good way to pass a Sunday afternoon. #

• The prodigal football has returned! Happy Bert, someone found his Tigers footy and handed it in. #
• Huge wind and black clouds, it's like someone turned out the lights. #
• Shortest day of the year brought the most stressful day ever of running my business. Thankfully as sun set the problem seemed to be solved. #
• Rae out tonight so took the path of least resistance when it came to tea. Need to expand my roster of dad dinners. #
• one marshmallow too many… #
• Windows and doors open, washing on the line – this is more like the winter I like. #
• Oh boy. How did I mange to install that new PC after one of Mel's killer margaritas? #
• Still in pyjamas but I do have the new media PC up and running. Now to get ready for a perfect winters afternoon at the footy. #
• Saturday afternoon at the 'G. Heaven. #
• Did all the stall holders @sthmelbmarket take grumpy pills this morning? If it had been our first time we wouldn't bother going back. #
• Someone on @Channel31 just said kangaroo is different to beef because "it's an all natural product". Hmmmm. #

• It's bonus pancake Monday. #
• It's an outrage. No banana choctops at the @astor_theatre tonight. #
• Even though they may have run out of banana choctops the @astor_theatre is still the greatest cinema in Melbourne. #
• Go Canucks! #
• Wrong paper delivered this morning. Classic example of why we subscribe to The Age. http://t.co/60hR1g2 #
• What a busy morning. Got to honk and wave at gal wearing a Canucks jersey. She smiled back. Obviously neither of us had seen the score. #
• Just realised that three out of the four us at the movies last night had Android phones. #
• Just had a book delivered. Yes, a retro paper style book. Had it on pre-order from pre-kinlde days – 26/10/2010. http://t.co/0dfkWYi #
• So nice outside we're walking to pick up Bert today. #
• Perfect walking weather. So nice not one complaint from the kids. #
• Red balloon just floating up the driveway….we all float down here. #
• Ah Canucks, so near but yet so far… #
• Wow, reports Simon Overland has resigned. #
• Two old laptop batteries – what's the best way to dispose of them? #
• Sickens me to see the vision from Vancouver. They are not Canucks. #canucks #vancouver #
• I've been a @Kogan fan boy for a long time but my latest experience has been a huge turnoff. Faulty product, no emails and no replacement. #
• The title of my all time favourite book just popped up in a Rebus novel. @beathhigh http://amzn.com/k/146N0JE5VYDFY #Kindle #
• I hate the feel of corn flour, as bad as cotton wool. #
• Robby Rotten, will you never learn…. #
• Go the mighty Tigers! Here's hoping they don't have to catch the bus back. #

• Dammit, the cold/chest infection/whatever it is wins. Going to go and lie down. #
• No! @Kogan sent an email including tracking info for my Android tablet, but they left a connote off the url so no obsessive tracking for me. #
• Why haven't I watched Miranda before, it's bloody funny. #
• Dear iPhone users, welcome to 2010. #
• Oh boy, those jet black clouds look ominous. #
• Woo Hoo!! Just witnessed our 'no door knockers' sticker in action. Guy raised his hand, saw the sticker and walked away. #
• Hoping my @Kogan tablet turns up today. #
• Been out twice this morning and it seems to be getting colder. #
• The Toll website may crash today given how frequently I'm refreshing. #
• No sign of tablet. Also waiting on Rob's new phone. #
• Rob's phone is here. Come on Toll, don't let me down… #
• Grrrr. Looks like my tablet wasn't loaded for delivery yesterday. @kogan is there anything we can do about having to depend on Toll? #
• I swear, if someone ran a courier company that actually delivered….. #
• Toll Ipec, and this is a quote "It's not lost, it's just not where it should be." THREE TIMES now they've not delivered to me. #
• Where it should be is my hands. How can a company be so inept at their core function? #
• I really wish I didn't have to know what a ramp ceremony is. #
• No change in my Toll status overnight. Guess this means they have definitely lost it. Argh. #
• Woo Hoo, phone call from Ipec – they found it! #
• Subway just sent me a special offer via SMS. That's lunch sorted. #
• IT'S HERE!!! #

• Teeth fine, ear infection. Pop that pill and head to bed. #
• 8.30 Firday night and I'm checking in to bed. #
• The fog is getting thicker, the back fence is looking blurry now. #
• 10:30, 8 degrees and still foggy. Have we moved to England? #
• http://yfrog.com/kea6alj Fog #
• Do I follow the game online/twitter or radio or wait for the delayed broadcast? #
• Can't wait that long, listening to radio. #

• Mr hep cat Bert can click his fingers. He's sitting at the table clicking away like a beret wearing jazz musician from the 50s. #
• Actually have my office window open. For a close-enough-to-winters day you can't ask for better than today. #
• Nice walk back from school with a more sedate than normal boy. He's too much like his dad though to say if anything happened. #
• Rae not well and off to bed so more music and Kindle this evening. Tonight Barenaked Ladies (tunes) and Strip Jack (book). Theme anyone? #
• Rae just reminded me that I was very mean to her in a dream and that I should apologise. #

• Just back from the accountant. Wish I still drank. Sigh. #
• Waiting for my noodles. I'm #21 #
• Rae is Syndey tonight so a good chance for a bit of Geography with the kids. Google Earth is invaluable. #
• No matter how hard I try I can't sleep in the middle of the bed when Rae is away. #
• Maybe that would have been more fun with Rae. Now dinner for one. #
• Having a brilliant birthday. Huge thanks to ZIta for helping make it happen. #
• What a wonderful birthday, thank you every one, especially my lovely wife. xox. #

• Go to sleep kids! I want to watch Doctor Who! #

• Have been sending out invoice for 11 months with the wrong post code. Me so smart. #

• The Canucks are cup bound! #

• Today we remove the subtitles from the Doctor Who mkv before we watch it. #
• Doctor Who, Rebel Flesh Pt 2. Wow. #
• Bugger the cold; front and back lawn (well, patches of grass) mowed, kids in bath and now making dinner. An early night ahead methinks. #
• They ate it all, even with a little pepper in it. Dad pasta ftw. #
• Kids in bed. Cleaning done. Rae on way home. Time for some Rebus and Primal Scream in the background. #
• "We wanna be free, to do what we wanna do." Early 90s nirvana. (not Nirvana) #screamadelica #
• finished Tooth And Nail by Ian Rankin. Now back to Edinburgh and number 4, Strip Jack. @beathhigh http://amzn.to/ifk4JH #Kindle #

• Thanks for help on the BBC radio page. Still problems here, time for a router reset. #
• Life so much simpler since I discovered you can drag from the Chrome download status bar straight on to the Dreamweaver file manager. #
• Why is 13RACV permanently engaged? Surely Jason isn't that popular. RACV #
• Well, that pause paid off. I was going to suggest I pay $100. He quotes $75. Silence is a wonderful trick taught to me by an old boss. #
• Rae just asked if it was raining. I said I'd check the radar. She, quite rightly, suggested I just look out the window. #
• It's Bloody Cold Today (@ Deer Park Station) http://picplz.com/67jT #
• May have to turn on the heater, but seems a waste to heat the whole house for just me. #
• She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge. I only went with her because she looks like you. #pulpmash #

• Paper, scissors, rock makes surprisingly interesting radio. Who would have guessed…. @ClaireSlevin @BBCChrisHawkins @BBC6Music #
• So why would @Richmond_FC bother emailing my 3 year old and 5 year old asking them for their mobile number. Do many that age have mobiles? #
• Slow news night on @7NewsMelbourne last night with 'man grows banana tree' and 'ways to keep warm'. Let's see what today brings. #
