Feeling quite a bit better now. Thanks for the get well messages. Am still not 100% but it appears that my fellow co-worker suffered from the same symptoms as me and was also off last week. It left us a bit thin on the ground at work but I think they coped.
Spent most of the weekend relaxing and did a bit of cleaning in the garage when I had some spare energy. Oscar was such a laugh as I was dumping stuff into piles outside the shed. He insisted on picking items up and hiding them in various spots in the backyard. Little bugger.
Well anyway, have ended up dumping a whole heap of crap onto the side of the footpath (sidewalk) in front of the house. The first day the stuff went out there were a couple of old speakers from an ancient stereo system, next morning they had disappeared and were replaced with some even older and broken ones. Saturday I put a couple of old TV sets out with the pile, the next morning someone had added another 3 old ones as well! It seems that the council's so called "Hard Refuse Collection" is better known as "Neighbourhood Swap". It also seems that some people are embarrassed to have junk in front of their houses so they dump it in front of their neighbours house. Either that or people are trading up the stuff they are raiding and leaving the crap behind.
Here's a couple of pictures of above mentioned pile:
Lonely tv
More tv's???
The week ahead?
Not much planned, another couple of resignations at work. Another close mate that I have worked with for years (commonly referred to as str8boy in previous entries) is leaving. Am planning on dropping around to his house after work to do some geeky pc-modem stuff that only nerdy gadget obsessed people are interested in....
Can't wait till friday. No chiropractor this week, am going back in a couple of weeks for a follow up, but if I am feeling fine then it can wait for another week.
Oh, ran some banners over this past weekend and apparently my diary is average according to the note. Yeah, whatever....
Anyway folks, i'm knackered. Bed is calling.
Thanks for reading yet another average entry from another average week in the life of an average Australian..
