Merry Christmas Everyone

Hi All,
I have been so busy this year I have not had the opportunity to send out Christmas cards - but it's not because I don't love you all.

I hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas and wish you all the best for the new year. I will try to get a post up after Christmas.
Have a safe one - Andrew

What a Week

What a week it has been. Sydenham Library opened its doors to the public and the pace has been very steady. There have been lots of people coming in to join the library service, however the computer usage so far has been very sedate.



The problem I wrote about at the house with the microwave cavity has been resolved and the builders are going to change the cabinetry to fit a standard microwave. This has made Sean very happy.



We went to Seans friends wedding on Sunday which offered an 'interesting' menu which included things like Shark Fin soup, abalone, ect. I didn't eat anything as it was all way to fancy for my tastes.



Well, thats about it, just FYI I will include a photo of the new library....

Sorry

Hi all,
Sorry I havn't blogged in a few weeks as I have been flat chat. Christmas has snuck up on me this year more than it has other years. I had the day off on Monday so Sean and I went Christmas shopping at Chadstone. Thankfully because it was a Monday it was not too busy. We got pretty much all our Christmas shopping done - as well as the usual arguments which come with shopping (cause shopping is boooooring!)

It has also been flat out at Work. We have the grand opening for the new library this Sunday. The last week has seen the numerous plasma screens setup, our kiosk stations setup as well as loading up the public PCs with software and tidying all the cables up.

I went out for Dinner with some old work Friends on Tuesday night down to a hotel in Essendon. Very nice meal. I had roast pork, then lemon marang pie for dessert.

Tomorrow our new bed is being delivered to my grandparents where we will store it until we take posession of the house. Captain snooze said they would originally hold it for 6 weeks, which turned out to be 6 months before they rang up and said it needs to go from their warehouse.

With the house we have a problem with the microwave cavity at the moment. We have measured the cavity and found it is too small to fit even the smallest microwave on the market. The designers are currently working on resolving this issue, so hopefully they will get there butts into gear and have a resolution soon.

Tomorrow night I have an end of year Christmas celebration with my 'Movie friends', then Sunday I am working at the grand opening, then off to Seans friend's wedding reception, which is a Chinese banqute which should proove interesting.

Well thats about it. I will try and update more frequently before Christmas.

Cheers
A
