I have left the office

Today I am having a late lunch, which is pretty normal. My working life consists of skipping lunch, eating at my desk or eating some left overs in a kitchen facility which by calling it poor is to give it a sparking, over-the-top review.

Morning Tea Break

Hello blog, long time no see again. Yes I know it is pathetic to write about how I haven’t put anything on my blog for such a long time. But why should I be any different to all the other wannabe bloggers. I am having break from some help desk database design work. I am […]

This is a tall order so stay tuned for this flurry of activity to either be short term or actually work. Ninja (cat) […]

I live

OK I am going to do something about my much ignored blog.  Actually I should say we are going to do something about our much ignored blogs.  I have information and I am going to attempt to fill in a lot of missing days in my life for the year before the year is over.  […]

White good shopping

Well it had to happen we went shopping and replaced the items that had died.  I now have an upside down fridge, which is bigger and so much better.  Peter has a new washing machine which is also a lot bigger at 8kgs, maybe one day I will learn how to use it :). Nice […]
