All Drugged Up

Since I got back from China last Sunday I have had a pretty vicious sore throat. This was not helped by the really bad dust storm on Thursday either.

It did however make some of my early morning conversations quite entertaining as I was as husky as a husky dog eating husks (or should that be

Hazy Days

So today is Monday, some two days since I arrived back from our trip to China. I am still feeling a bit rough and am not sure if it is to do with fatigue, having caught the flu or something I ate. Having the window open in my office to warm it up is getting

Work Hard Play Hard

It’s now Wednesday (I think) …. I’m still deaf after the Grand Prix and Areosmith Concert on Sunday. It was a great event! I”ll update more when I have a spare five minutes.

My handset for the entertainment system does not work. Yet the touch screen does. So I started a film with the touch screen yet there is no way for

So long – Farewell?

So it is 12:15. I am sat at Brisbane airport waiting for my flight to be called.

Brisbane international airport is in fact one of the better airports to travel through. It’s fully air conditioned departure lounge is great, quiet and comfortable. In fact it is one of the few airports where you can turn up

Girls just want to have fun

After a couple of days returning back from Singapore, I headed to the airport to pick up little sis. After waiting for a while she appeared through customs and we hit the road.

We headed down to South Bank for lunch followed by my really brief tour of what was what, and of course a token

Singapore Sling Anyone?

After a really hectic week following the Grand Prix in Melbourne I decided I needed a break. Work is going to go crazy and I was not planning on doing anything over Easter. I decided to formulate my crazy plan the week before Easter. Abi my sister was in Singapore for a fashion show /
