Book Lover

By Ers   October 07, 2012 // No comments
Two weekends ago, the Tatapilla and I found our way to a book fest in our area. It was massive - in an indoor basketball court. The place was packed with books and people of all ages. We saw the Tatapilla's friend there. And although I love going to the library, I also want to own some books that I can't get there. I am building up my collection. I have owned a few ebooks but I still cherish reading actual books. Plus, I am not inclined to spend a lot on books (like other people on padron cigars online). It's all in moderation.

[img]http://www.blogthingsimages.com/areyouahardcoverbookorapaperbackbookquiz/paperback.jpg[/img] You are an avid reader, and you probably buy a lot of books. And nothing beats an inexpensive paperback you can carry around. You read whatever you feel like reading. You aren't a snob, and you aren't ashamed of your tastes. You always have a stack of books to get through, and it seems to be constantly multiplying. You don't mind waiting for a book you want to come out in paperback. You have plenty to read in the meantime!

Bathurst 1000

By Ers   October 07, 2012 // No comments
Every year, one day is allocated to just sitting on the couch and vege-out. For me that is and for those who likes racing. Imagine watching the cars zooming on the telly for seven hours? I told Mcj, it's better to watch it on telly than going to Mt Panorama but he said, the atmosphere alone is reason enough to go there. It's in our bucket list along with wearing Snowboard Pants for a snow filled winter somewhere. Just like everyone else, we've been preparing for this weekend. Lots of munchies and drinks. And most of all, no chores.

Music Inclined

By Ers   September 10, 2012 // No comments
Just before getting ready to bed, we went to youtube to practice the Australian National Anthem. We listed to one full song and I saw the 2000 27th Olympic games in Sydney. Of course, we'll just have to see it. The opening part especially the singing of Advance Australia Fair by Julie Anthony was just spectacular. You'd think they were using the best vocal mic then. He said, how I wish I have the same voice. Awww! We didn't have all night to watch so we ended in this section.

Recap

By Ers   August 18, 2012 // No comments
... of the week. As always we are very busy. There are so many things to be done, things that we want to do but there is not enough time during the day and night. Still life is good not to be enjoyed and cherished. I have been devouring new books like hot potatoes when I am not occupied of something else. On the work front, it has been a bit quiet. We've gone river bank fishing for the first time and it was exciting. I have not managed to catch anything at all but I must say I did not fish for long. Between Jens and I, Mcj has barely enough time to get a drink let alone bait and cast his line. Did a bit of retail therapy this weekend. My favourite past time, I'd say. It has been good as always. Despite our hectic routine, I can't complain. There are things that might bother us (not as much as discontinued appliance parts) but everything sorts itself out. So yeah, let's all have a wonderful weekend!

That Desk

By Ers   August 03, 2012 // No comments
I have been wanting to replace my existing desk for quite sometime now. Been searching high and low for desk that will fit the space and something that will give me enough area to work and a bit of storage as well. To no luck. Then I found this. Yes, not plenty of storage area but will do the space where I want it. Question is, will it stand perfectly on carpet floor. I have furniture that has to be relegated outside as it can't stand stably on the carpet. I guess, I'll just have to visit the shop and run it through rfid to know, right?

Working

By Ers   August 03, 2012 // No comments
at home on Friday night. I'm not complaining. I am at home and warm and full. Not pressing for time to finish in a flash either. Backing up the data takes some time as it's quite big so blog away on incredibrace while waiting for it to finish. Then a series of checks and test and viola. Telly on the background with the London 2012 going. The Tatapilla playing with my phone just behind me. Mcj trying to breath and stay alive :) - he's got cold and flu. TGIF.

New Baby

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
Our friend welcomed a new baby to the family - a girl. Their second child. We visited her once and she seemed be one contented baby as she slept despite the raucus of two toddlers running around chasing each other. We have not been to the baby shower at bestbabyshower, if they ever had one. We were so happy for them, their family is growing and my little boy just loves their 1st born - he considers him his brother.
