Bob the Murray Cod

My Uncle has a pet Murray Cod that he got some time last year. When he got it is was about 1/2 the size of your standard pet store goldfish. So the legend of 'Bob the Murry Cod' began.


With an insatiable appetite, bob has now grown to be over 15 cm. long and now eats goldfish! In Bobs honor they have now created a website for him... just shows you can put anything on the Internet (leave a comment in Bob's guest book while you are there).

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
