Today was a beautiful day for diving, and I had lots of fun with the Nautilus SCUBA Centre diving on Flinders Reef at the North of Moreton Island. Diving started early in the morning with a 6am start for a 6:45am departure from the Nautilus SCUBA Centre shop. The diving was pretty uneventful, however a…
Is not shopping the favourite hobby and pass time of any girl? Brisbane can be fun to explore, but so can running around your old stomping ground visiting the shops you know are there, and to that end it wasn’t long before I had a complete new outfit and some extras from the Mount Ommaney…
Today was an interesting day, a trip to Brisbane city returned dividends in the way of a SCSI card for one of my machines, this time I was a little more careful and so took the train, which was a lot cheaper as an option. The afternoon brought a broken nail when installing it, I’m…
Today was the day for having some fun, so I messed around a bit in the morning, and then returned to The University of Queensland just before lunch, to have lunch. On the way through the building though I bumped into Claire, you know I do love Claire, she’s such a fun loving, lovely person,…
Well today was pretty much a blur, it started in Brisbane City along with a 90 minute $28.00 parking permit (that’s more expensive than London City!) and finished at Chris'(1) place eating Indian and having a good chat about lots of things. In the middle was a session at Helga’s House of Pain, aka getting…
Well today was a day of surprises, for others as well as me. I visited my old stomping ground, The University of Queensland, and told a few former colleagues. Chris(2), my last boss there, was surprised that it was me saying it, but was very curious and interested in the whole aspect. Wilber, was surprised,…
Well over the last couple of days I have been driving to Queensland (it’s a 1000km and 12-15 hours, so yes a couple of days). Food hasn’t been good so I’m sure that I will have put on weight, it’s such a shame that the only food available on a journey seems to be fast…
Adam, a colleague and a friend, his reaction to reading this blog was to smile, occasionally chuckle and nod. After he finished reading, he turned to me an said, “Uh huh. I wouldn’t have picked it either.” That has to be one of the most non-eventful reactions to date, and too be honest, was nice….
Well unfortunately that was the reaction of my good friend Jim from work, he did later apologise for the remark. He didn’t offend, and realized the mistake either by my face, or by the realization. It was quite amusing in some ways, and disappointing in others. Guess I really should explain that comment, but I…
Well today was the day to see the doctor, and boy was I nervous. Waiting in that room to see him was worse than plucking up the courage to tell my own wife, how sad is that? Anyway, the results of the consultation was a minor change in medications, the script is for Androcur-100 which…
Well today I went back to work after only one day off, it doesn’t feel like there has been a weekend at all. Ah well, it’s my job after all. On the real subject though, I pointed our receptionist Shawn at this site, which turned out to be a real eye opener for her. The…
Well it’s the weekend and it doesn’t really feel like it. Too many late evenings this week, and today I started work at 07:30 and finished 20:30, it has been a long day. Nothing that I can talk about happened today because there has been no time, just took my medications, and went to work….
