Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Nine

Thursday 16th Feb

Happy 40th Birthday to my sister Hazel.




We both had a usual day at work before coming home and Skyping Hazel, was good to be able to celebrate her birthday with her via Skype. Thought I would add a pic above of Hazel when young and the folks looking very trendy, seventies style!

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Eight

Wednesday

A day off for me, still using up holiday! Drove out to Chermside late morning to do some shopping for Kate's Birthday at the weekend. I could say what I bought here but Im sure she'll read this so, haha, no comment!

Did some shopping at the supermarket in the afternoon before picking up Kate. Had a Skype call to UK in the evening and watched My Kitchen Rules and screamed at the very annoying Queenslanders on there.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Seven

Tuesday

Not much to report today, got lots of stuff done at work and had good conversations with my main contractors.

Fundraising seems to be coming in nicely too.

Had a quiet Valentines night in with Kate.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Six

Monday

Back to work reality. A usual day at work getting on with stuff. Brett is off so I'm acting Event Coordinator which sounds fancy but in reality means more emails.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Five

Sunday

A lazy day around the house, broken up by a trip tot he supermarket at lunchtime. Had a call with Bill and Carol in the evening and Skype with folks.

In other news weather in UK got down to -18 and Whitney Houston popped her clogs.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Four

Got up super early for a Saturday and drove to Newport Marina to catch the Dolphin Cruise. This was one of Kates Birthday presents from last year which we should have done a couple of weeks back but was cancelled due to poor weather.

We had a very nice day sighting Dugongs, Turtles and then we went snorkeling around the Tangolooma Wrecks. This was all going well until we started swimming through the jelly fish which left us both with some unpleasant stings.

We had a nice buffet lunch on the boat before doing some Eco Cruising which was short but well received. We then headed back to the Marina and drove home.

We went to the London club for some dinner and went to bed early.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Three

Friday

A relaxed day for me as I had the day off. Have to use up some annual leave in the first half of the year. Picked Kate up form work, did some food shopping and headed home.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy Two

Thursday

Information night for work. After morning in the office we all headed down to Brisbane Convention Centre and did two sessions. The first had about 110 people, the second 350+. All went very well I think although I thought I was repeating myself a bit.

Kate came down after work and met me there and it was nice to have her support there.

Day Nine Hundred and Seventy One

Wednesday

More of the same at work, got caught in the rain in the afternoon when I wen tot Kennards when the rain fell out of the sky.
