Well, it has finally happened. As of noon today I am an uncle.
Celina had a baby girl, 8 pound 6 (I'm not sure if that's big or not - so do not know if we need to start the baby on lite and easy baby food). Mother and baby doing well, Uncle Andrew unimpressed, and uncle Sean over the moon.
She named her Jessica Lee. She is taking her fathers surname, but none of us know what that is!
Well it has been a hell of a weekend. Winter has set in, and do I get sick - no, my computer does! My PC has come down with the Vundo virus which is proving to be a pain in the butt to remove. I have run several different virus removal tools specially developed to kill Vundo, and I still have traces of the stupid thing throughout my system!
We had an electrician come over last week and install some new light fittings around the place. This included 2 new fittings in the gallery which have improved the lighting in there so much. We also have a new light in the stairwell which looks really cool (I will post some new pics soon), and finally a heater lamp in the bathroom which you could cook a roast under!
Delfin also came and did the front and side garden beds last week, so from the street view the house now looks completely finished and occupied.
Have a full week at work this week, no RDO plus I'm working this Saturday, so this Sunday will be a total bludge day.
Also, most of you probably won't believe me, but I have not been watching Big Brother this year. This has to be the crappiest season ever and lost my loyalty after about week 2.
Anyway, better go do something constructive. I promise to post some more pics soon.
Before you even think it, I know... I have been really slack with my posting lately. But I have been too busy... I swear.
I have been doing some more work on the side for SirsiDynix which is keeping me occupied, as well as my normal job. Plus there is always something to do around the house.
Today we went to the Gisborn market first thing in the morning. It was a decent size market this month, we just got some apples, and Sean got a jug thing for his mum for mothers day. I had an organic mixed berry flavoured yogurt... it was very nice.
Last week I went to a Web 2.0 training thing in the city. It was very interesting and talked about web 2.0 which is just a fancy marketing name for 'social software' on the Internet which includes things like blogs (like this one), wikis see http://www.wikipedia.org/ for an example. It is like a web page where anyone can add content or make adjustments to the content. It also looked at things like My Space, second life, Google Documents (http://documents.google.com), which I had never bothered to look at before... these were really cool and have just as much functionality as Microsoft Word and Excel. What I really liked about them is you can choose to 'share' your documents with certain people, and you can both make changes simultaneously, and you can see the other persons changes straight away. Also included was Flickr, which also has some really good photos on there. I found some photos on there of the ducks and swans in Caroline Springs taken by a local guy... they are really good (http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=caroline+springs+%28swan+or+duck%29&m=text).
At the house we have started doing a little work out in the yard, digging trenches to lay pipes before we get a concrete slab laid for our shed so we can eventually put in a water tank. So slowly piece by piece things are starting to come together.
Anyway, I can't think of anything else to report for now!
