If I was apple I would get better researchers, this is from a TV show that was broadcast in America in 2005.
Kitty cat pages
The kitty cats got some more advertising last weekend as I set them up with a page each on a site called united cats. Anyway I checked the site today and found that they had a bit of traffic with Biggles clearly the favourite cat.
Some of the concepts on the site are a little odd, they have a link to sign a petition to stop dog torture. Following the link takes you to a site regarding dogs been eaten in South Korea. All very fine, but since I equate the killing and eating of all animals as equal I can’t just condone people who eat dogs over people who eat cows, sheep and pigs.
I think I now need to file this post under rant.

Week 4 – what a week
Well it was a bit of a busy week. I finally got back to the wheeling and dealing of buying our first ever home. I would not recommend buying a place to live to anyone, it has been quite a bit stressful for me. I guess our case was a lot different from the average home sale, which really did not help.
I have talked to engineers, builders, solicitors, real estate agents, the council and bank managers during the past week. On Wednesday I put in a revised offer and on Thursday after a little bit of banter it was accepted and the sale went unconditional.
I was in the situation where I hated the idea that the deal might fall through and I would be more than two thousand dollars out of pocket with nothing to show for it. That amount of money could have been the computer that I had been promising I was going to buy myself for over a year. I also felt if it didn’t happen that the chances of me wanting to start this whole process again with another property was very, very slim. Considering how old I am now that meant I might never get around to buying a home.
We visited the place yesterday and wow I forgot how big it is, it just seemed bigger than on the two previous visits. We also met our soon to be neighbours which was so nice and got a lot more local knowledge from them.
Tomorrow it is a trip to the bank to finalise the loan and then we are going to be very, very busy people for the next couple of months, packing, getting the new place ready, cleaning up this place and moving.
I still can’t believe we will have our own home.
Unsearchable
It seems I am not the only person that may suffer from a little bit of search engine issues. Some SEO advice has been passed onto the former owner of Microsoft on how he too could be found more easily.
Neighbours
One of our neighbours has acquired a new car, with a stonking huge stereo in the boot. So what does one do with such a stereo for getting down and getting hip. Well you play such amazing classics as:-
- She’s got the Look – Roxette
- Man in the Mirror – Michael Jackson
- Hot Chilli Woman – Noiseworks
This is music I should be playing, being a child of the 80’s. Why buy a sound system to play crap so loud that it vibrates the concrete floor of a house 100 metres away.
Hidden from the World
Just discovered that despite me saying I want to be tracked, prodded and poked by search engines that my blog remains a secret. Looks like if you want to find me I must personally pass on my blog address.
I shall now start working on my machine to destroy the world through a complicated cross-stitch!

Cyclone birds
The red-tailed black cockatoos are back and are currently squarking and flying around outside. Tropical cyclone Neville turned into a low and then overnight has been transformed into Tropical cyclone Olga. Now Olga sounds a bit more moody than a cyclone called Neville so it will be interesting to see what will happen.
Just in case it gets a little bit too wet here we are going for a drive today to pick up cat litter.
I want a tee-shirt
Stinker sees the world in a very simple way. “You are wearing a tee-shirt therefore you are my friend”. If you are not wearing a tee-shirt then you must be harassed as much as possible until you go and put one on and can provide appropriate cuddles.
Stinker loves tee-shirts, she will leap from the floor into you arms for one and she will snuggle for hours until food is produced to remove her.
Stinker is a cat limpet.
Week 2 of the year
Monday the 11th of January started like every other Monday. A hot wind rose from the ocean and blew against my skin prickling the beads of sweat on my brow. I faced the car, again, the heat permeated from the paint work making the thought of climbing into the beast so inhibiting. It was Monday and I was going back to work.
Yes, it is another week in review and what a week it was or maybe wasn’t. Continue reading ‘Week 2 of the year’ »
