Thursday Thirteen # 16 Randomness

Thursday 13 - randomness

Tomorrow night, Friday, it is the Swans v Collingwood for a place in the AFL Grand Final - Go Swannies!
I am also in the Ballot group for the Grand Final, IF the Swans win on Friday night... So hopefully, I will be in Melbourne for the Grand Final on Saturday 29th September!
My birthday this year, was a V8 experience at Eastern Creek, now known as Western Sydney motorsport Park.
J's birthday this year, was a Rally Drive Experience at the Hunter Valley Rally School.
M's birthday this year, was a Hang Gliding experience (this photo, whilst not her, you may get the idea...).
Thinking, that next year, Europe will be calling me more than China... I have an ETS and an ITS meeting, in Dublin and Beijing respectively. So I think it will be a Dublin, England, Norway and Czech republic trip.
The entrance into work, is truly a magnificent gateway, agree?
I love having Orchids, but this little fellow, is more stunning close-up!
Santiago, was a lovely city, even by winter standards, it was lovely. Even at the top of the Andes, it was nice!
iOS6 is now available for my iPhone4S, so I will do the update this evening when I get home.
The garden is coming back into shape, well the front anyway... Having a 14 month old Great Dane pup means the backyard, will need a little more time and resources, but it'll get there!
The weekend will be warm, I like how it is now warming up... Looking at 30c on Sunday!!
Monday, I have to go and get my Visa for an upcoming trip in November!

Hoo roo for now...

Thursday Thirteen #14 - Moody

Lately, I have been increasingly... moody! I have no reason and I've been finding myself either wanting to simply stay at home, or be somewhat solitary...
Small things are irritating me, like why is it raining, I need to mow the lawns...
Whilst I am my own person, I am also having difficulties in trying to be in SO many places for SO many people... I'm tired all the time...
WANT to go back to who/where I was mid last year OR earlier this year, but I am finding myself in a rut, and I don't know why...
Where I use to be a 'Happy-go-lucky' kinda guy, I am now wanting things to either hurry up and end OR for them to start (so as they can end)...
I am no longer finding pleasure in 'the little things', going out for a coffee is a task rather than an adventure...
Housework is amounting, and I HAVE to get it done...
I STILL need to do L's tax from 2008/09 and then 2009/10 for the investment property...
I am even enjoying the late night shopping channel, blah...
Whilst still wanting to 'escape' I do not want to be seen as 'running away'...
I enjoy photography, but difficulty in finding the subject/composition of what I want to take...
Subconsciously, I am not thinking the bigger picture is swamping me, when in fact, I should be planning and executing...
I need to set goals, and follow through to reaching them... First up, FOOTY on Friday night!

"It is just a scene of mass devastation. (Cyclone) Larry was a boy compared to this." Larry was Australia's most recent Cyclone, the largest since Tracy hit Darwin.
