So I’ve failed.. I didn’t post evey day of January, so I could just give up and consider myself beaten.. But no I won’t. Its more like the world has been conspiring against me in not being able to post.
I could have copped out and said, nothing much happening so not worth boring the world with random dribble, but thats not true, so lets recap. The last post was last Thursday night, so I’ve got nearly a week to catch up on.
Friday 12th – I’m sure it existed
Friday was such a long time ago I can’t remember what I did. I expect very little, as it was the start of my blogging down time. If I remember I’ll post an update.
Saturday 13th – Home body
Saturday was basically WOW. I slept in (as Rach had to work), got up, WOW’d, had lunch, WOW’d, that was the day. Nothing exciting… See why I didn’t post about it. 
Sunday 14th – Ten Pin Tupperware
The girls had organised a tupperware party, and so in good guy fashion we decided to vacate the house and leave the plastic container fondelling to the chicks. We trundlled of to Knox to go tenpinning.
Kev’s played a bit recently so we all expected to get crushed, and Garth had never played, so it was going to be a mixed bag. As expected Kev crushed us, I got 101, not that great.
We had paid for 2 games, and so took into the second. Kev choked early, and from nowhere Garth found form. Kev eventually found his rythmn again but Garth had a handy lead. It came down to the final frame, and Garth needed 14 or so to win. 9’d then spared and then got 7 with the last ball to win by 3.
Monday 15th – Is you phone engaged?
Big news day… We headed out to Knox for Michelles birthday, and wouldn’t you know it, we also find out that Matt and Michelle are engaged. Big congrats to them both, with a bub on the way it wasn’t going to be long. and after all the effort Matt went to for a special weekend, how could she say no? 
Tuesday 16th – Hot in the city.
Hot, Hot, Hot. Thats all I can say. oh also Blackout. Tuesday was the day Melbourne went into meltdown. I really couldn’t have posted if I wanted as the server was down overnight due to power failures.
Something like 1200 traffic lights were out in Melbourne, as well as trams and trains running on a very restricted timetable meant many hot and bothered travellers had to sit around in a 40C afternoon in Melbourne.
Our office power went out at about 5:45, so I jumped in my air conditioned car and had a normal trip home.
No ride this evening, way too hot and it was Sharkey’s mums birthday anyway.
and the all imporant Wednesday 17th – umm Today?
Garth had the day off, as he and Kim got the keys to their new place in Forest Hill. They started moving over some of the smaller stuff and just get a feel for the place. Rach is helping out with their re-location on the weekend, but I’m going to be away (more on that later).
We had Misty’s final puppie shot, (at 12 weeks) and then headed over to have pizza in their new place with no power. Looks nice, will be better when there is acutally furniture in it.
Also today we confirmed my travel details to London then home via LA. What didn’t I tell you? I’m heading out of the country for a week, so now I will really have a real excuse not post. The purpose of the trip is to go to a mobile gaming confernce and so I should have lots to report from my hotel room each night. Its then back via the US to see a company over there about some work we might do together.
I fly out Friday at about midnight for a wurlwind trip of the globe. More details in tomorrows post.
Night
