yes im still alive

hi guys,

well im still alive but haven't done anything noteworthy the last few weeks so i havent bothered to post anything.

i caught up with stu, a mate from brisbane on the weekend, as did peta and callan. he stayed over at my place and we proceeded to have a boozy weekend, i think i'll take this weekend easy.

work is still great, went to one of the associate's house warming party a few weeks ago. he had just bought a bbq and as he was a pom, didn't have much of an idea of how to use it. so i offered to help and took over the bbq responsibility. as there was around 50 people and the bbq was a 2 burner, i had my work cut out. reminded me of my uni days as the CESA bbq man where we'd cook 300 burgers and 200 snags in 3 hours. i loved every smoke filled minute of it!

i was planning to go to cambridge this weekend but we discovered you need to book a few weeks ahead or all the cheap accomm will be taken. we'll do it some other time

and thats all i have to blog about, i want to do some real travelling in the next few weeks so i might have something interesting the write about.
