Walking With Dinosaurs

Walking with Dinosaurs live was fantastic! It was unbelievable the size of the puppets/robots, and just how lifelike they looked. I was so surprised at how easily and freely they moved about on stage. The biggest hassle for the night was parking. Walking with Dinosaurs was on at Vodaphone Arena, next door there was the swimming on at Rod Laver Arena, and then there was the first match of the footy season on at the G. So we ended up parking all the way down at Crown.

I am at work today - it is pretty boring as there is traffic problems around which is making us quiet.

Tomorrow Seans uncle is coming to do decking around the backyward for us, so it will be another busy day tomorrow. Thank god next weekend is a long weekend so I will finally be able to catch up on some rest.

Walking With Dinosaurs

Hi all,
Well it has been a busy couple of weeks at work, plus to top things off I am working this Saturday as well, so it feels like a very long week! Can't wait for next weekend (long weekend).

On Friday I am going to see Walking With Dinosaurs in at VodaPhone Areana. I am really looking forward to it, from the TV Adds it looks great. There is some video footage of how they made the Dinosaur puppets here, and a preview of a scene from the show here.

On Sunday Seans uncle is coming over to do the decking around the backyard for us. This became a high priority after the good bit of rain we had earlier in the week. It made me a couple of inches higher whilst I was hanging out the washing with the mud sticking to my shoes.

So far I have nothing special planned for the Easter weekend, just catching up on rest sounds good. Sean doesn't get the public holidays, so he only has Saturday and Sunday off.

Anyway, better go. I will put a post on to tell you what Walking with Dinosaurs was like.

Bye

I'm Back.... online

Hi all,
Finally I am back on the net after moving in. Took me a little longer than expected to get the Internet connected up at the new place after moving, but that's all done now.

The move went well, it is hard to believe that it was only over a week ago. Most things are done around the place now, and most things have found a home. The only real messy area is the kitchen due to lack of cupboard space, but we have an island bench on order that should hopefully be fitted within the next couple of weeks.

Also still to come is a built in wardrobe for upstairs which is happening in 2 weeks time, and roller blinds, which we are waiting on an install date for.

I am off work until Tuesday, so I have the next few days to do little odds and ends around the place. Sean has been keeping me busy.

Most surprising thing from the move is the house didn't come with toilet roll holders! I could not believe that, so that was a moving in night trip to Bunnings to buy a couple of those for me to install.

All the electrical, couches, dining setting ect arrived on time as expected. Can't believe how much packaging they put around these things though, it's unbelievable.

When we got our phone connected we had our first phone call within 1/2 an hour. Unfortunately it was some telemarketer calling from some Delhi call centre!

If I haven't sent you my new contact details yet just drop me an email so I can pass them on to you. Don't be offended, my mind has not really been with it, so it's nothing personal!

I have some photos of the house for you...

Anyway, better go. Lots to do...

Andrew
