Hi. Hope everyone is doing well.

It is nice to hear from some new people in the comments. I enjoyed hearing from pastor Matt. I am not sure who bok chow boy was but his contribution was enthusiatically recieved. Mum, your list of frustrations were great. Just the sort of thing you could put up if you had your OWN journal. I reckon you'd be good at is.

Not to much has happened since I last wrote except for working a lot. Which is why I am looking for a new job now. One that is less boring and pays better. I can be more picky now. The other day I had to rearrange all of the paintings. People kept coming in and tacking pictures down and either putting them back wrong or leaving them on the floor. I thought that would be where I'd spend the rest of my days. i had visions of constantly moving things around and still not getting anywhere. I was having fond memories of Supa Valu... Seriously, it's not that bad. There are PLENTY of better jobs though.

We had some of Jane Anns friends over for dinner last night. We all had to bring an Asian dish to share for dinner. It was quite fun. Jane Ann did everyhing while I was at work so I just had to lazy about. That was also the day when Margaret and Joe came over to put my bed together. I left for work bedless and came home with a waterbed all set up in my room. I just wish the management at work would appreciate my need to laze around as much as everyone else does.

Many good wishes must go out to my lovely sister Helen as she celebrates her birthday. You should know that she shares a birthday with Ronald Reagan and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Congratulations on your new house aswell. I'm sure it'll be super great.

On friday night we went to see some of Jane Anns friends and I lead them in a rousing discussion about the Australian political system. They sat silently in fascinated awe as I discussed compulsoey preferencial voting and explained the roles of the senate and the house of representatives. Oh the Merriment! (I secretly[or maybe not so secretly] love to tell people things they don't know).

On the radio there are cover versions of Crowded House songs all over the place. James Blunt does one and there is a girl singing 'You'd better be home soon'. Crazy. A racoon went through our bin the other day. It was knocked over and all of the food scraps were gone. It was a bit annoying cos I had to clean it up, but it was also a bit cool.

Ok. TTFN. Have to go to bed.

Don't forget Bob Marley and Axle Rose, they are also priviledged to share my birthdate. Thanks Susie Bear, I had an ok birthday, I am very very tired. Went to the big day out, it was really really good, my feet were sore. I got sun burnt!!! stupid sun. Mum was in fine form in her last comment, she still doesn't want her own blog even after much continual persuasion. Mum, what is wrong with square plates? they are great, what did they ever do to you? talk soon

Possible suggestions for jobs that are "less boring and pays better"... 1. Diving on container ship hulls in the port to clean off the shellfish. Could be a great way to collect sea food varieties from all over the globe. 2. Parachute tester. Not suitable for people afraid of heights or ropes or falling or being stranded in a tree. 3. Guard dog attack dummy. You get to dress up in a padded suit that makes you look like a sumo wrestler and allow savage, out of control dogs to attack you. I have actually tried this… it is super fun. 4. But if you prefer to work for yourself... you need the ShowShiner! The ShowShiner is a commercial shoe polish machine combined with a motion display ad unit with 18 full color back-lit images that scroll smoothly from ad to ad. It works superbly in airports, hotels, news stands, banks, convention centers, office buildings, restaurants, car dealer showrooms, shopping malls, or any location with high visibility. There are thousands of locations that can use a ShowShiner. It costs the location nothing to provide their customers with a FREE shoeshine. The advertiser benefits greatly by being advertised as the one paying for the FREE shoeshine. It's a WIN-WIN for everyone! The locations get to provide FREE shoe shines to their customers. The advertisers get two minutes for the customers to view their messages while the machine shines their shoes. It’s a captive market and advertisers love it! Just a thought! Catcha later

My loving family had my birthday dinner without me!!!! I got there and there was a plate of food waiting and they had finished eating. Lucky they hadn't started on the cake yet or there would have been trouble. Man, I can feel the love.
