Beachination

Well
Today i went to teh beach (tm)

To set the scene...


This morning, I was bumbling around the house, bored out of my mind. Id started planning a camping trip (soon i hope), when Jess said "Hows about going to the beach"

I said "Thats a good idea"
and asked the rhia and the luc if they wanted to come.

Rhia had some mulching to do, and some WoW to play, and Luc had some WoW to play, so no go there.

I then asked Charlie on MSN. He sounded excited, so we booked a 2pm cornucopian time departure.

Jess and Rhia then reminded me that i had to go to the garden centre for mulch, so there was a frustrating 40 min trip (should have been 15-20). Some road workers, in their infinite wisdom, had decided to rip up most of the important junctions in waterloo road, which complete pwned traffic near the garden centre.

Ah well, shit happens.

Got home at 1:50, changed into togs, grabbed the handy Sydney Refidex, and we headed over to Casa Arbitraire, to pick up charlie.

Our objective was Freshwater Beach, roughly 40 minutes away.
We drove and drove and drove, and ended up at Curl Curl beach, just up the coast a bit from Freshwater.. meh, a beach is a beach, and there were plenty of free parks, so we parked and jumped in the water.

It was fairly rough, and there was a bit of chop, but the water was beautiful, and much fun was had by all.

After about 30 min, we got out and went walking, first to one of those seaside swimming pools that was just up at the end of the beach, and then we climbed up the headland. Beautiful view, and gave much openings for pirate talk... "Yarr it be pirate cove!!!"

After that, we headed back to the car to get some cash, and headed out in search of the mythical "fish and chip" shop.

After about 10 min of walking, we asked a local, who said that there wasnt much around here, but if we went to dee-why (5 minutes by car up the coast), we'd be spoilt for choice.

So back to the trusty ken mobile we went, and drove to Dee Why.

We found a chip shop, and had much fish and chips by the sea.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Gasp.. Shock..

Rhia went to the gym this morning!

and she liked it!

That is all.

Yay, Rhias back from Canberra :)

In other news, had the big kick-off meeting at work today, which entailed a bit of an organisational re-shuffle.
I now have a new manager; he's a nice guy though, so it should all be good - same project etc though.

Went the gym this afternoon to have a game of squash with Jess, and am watching Harsh Realm with Luc. Really enjoying it.

Tomorrow will be soccer, and maybe a few drinks at the pub after work
who knows :)

Yo.

Well, eventful last week and a bit -
went up to brisbane on sat at lunch time, with the requisite box of Krispy Kremes.
Had my grandma's 80th that evening, which was a good night, then headed over to craigalooza at enoggera.

Sunday, kimbo came round, which was nice, and then went to the watering hole for a bbq and a chat.

So yeah, great trip - I miss you all, and I hope i can get back up soon.

In other news
Rhia is in Canberra till thursday, which makes things a bit lonely here, but I had a great dinner in Leichart with some of the grads from work. Good pizza, and good company.


Tomorrow is the big work "kick-off" meeting, at some crazy arse castle/function centre near home. Should be ok, something different at least.

Anyway, Im off to bed, so you all take care, and Ill see you all soon.

**** THE PROOF THAT Ken Wilson IS EVIL ****

   K   E   N   W   I   L   S   O   N
 11   5  14  23   9  12  19  15  14     - as numbers
  2   5   5   5   9   3   1   6   5     - digits added
 \_____/ \_____/ \_____/ \_____/ \_/
  7       1       3       7       5     - digits added

Thus, "Ken Wilson" is 71375.

Add 1609, the year Gallileo, inspired by the Satan himself, came up with his ridiculous theory - the result is 72984.

Subtract 8771 from the number - this is the year Oliver Pollock invented '$', the symbol of exploitation, suffering and injustice, written backwards. It gives 64213.

Turn the number backwards, and add 1995 - the year O J Simpson was acquitted for double murder. The number is now 33241.

Subtract 1865, the year Lincoln was shot. The result will be 31376.

Turn the number backwards, and add 17 - the symbol of domination. The number is now 67330.

This, when read backwards, gives 03376. This is 1790 in octal, the year US patent system was established (eevil)...

Evil, QED.

Sweet :P
