Well, we have our first client! Hooray! Now we is in business.
We're just adapting a flash template for a photographer here, and will post up some of his photos.
Should be fun.

Sleepies
K has a cold. She's been a bit of a terror recently, to be honest. But today, not too bad. She's just passed out on the sofa, so I'll pop her in bed soon.
Cold today. Getting chilly. Raining. Stuck inside. Monosyllabic.
Making K some new pyjamas, not that she needs them but she wanted funky monkey again, so I'm up for a third pair.
Dj's good. I'm good. Looking forward to our holiday. Works been fun.
All in all, plain sailing.

Coffee and clunks
Today we went to Glebe to have coffee with Jo, AKA Angelo to discuss doing his website. It went well, I think combining the socialising with the business worked, but Kate was a disaster.
I made the mistake of giving her chocolate cake, and inevitably she went berko and ran all over the place. Stressy.
Came home and had lunch and of course she's passed out for 2 hours in the afternoon. Me too. DJ snuck off to work at sometime.
She managed to roll off the coffee table this evening backwards and clunked her head. It must have hurt like hell. She's a brave little thing tho and only cried for a bit.
Now I have to get my act together, get the spec done, let DJ do his thing and get the site made. Hope it goes well.

Brush Turkeys!
Well today was mostly uneventful. We spent this morning in the garden with our neighbours, Natasha and little Olivia, demolishing a patch of weedy plants that have completely dominated the front yard for over a decade. Had a lovely time while DJ slept like a baby. He's getting run down, that one.
This afternoon, after a rather failed trip to DFO to buy shoes for Nessima, we saw not one, but two brush turkeys in our little bit of bush. Amazing! I've never seen the like in Lane Cove before. They kind of pottered around for a bit before moving on. Couldn't believe my eyes.
It seems our little bit of scrub is quite a healthy link in the local environment.
Yay to that.
About two years ago we were visited by a flock of around 8 black cockatoos, who hung around for the afternoon before moving on. Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.
And here was I thinking that Scrub Turkeys didn't come this far south.

Smoke and Mirrors
/*being gripe*/ I'm not one to complain, hardly! But this stimulus package thing is really pissing me off. We didn't get the stimulus payment for our little one last time around (no idea why). DJ's got his for this time around, but I won't be getting it, despite me being one of the lowest income earners I know. Two reasons, one is I got back all of my tax last year. Second reason: my PhD scholarship.
The irony is one of my students got paid twice. He earnt about the same as me, and got it again for being a student.
Hmmm. Oh well. No such thing as a free lunch. At least one of us got it. /*end gripe*/.
It's getting cooler, and Kate is on a growth spurt. She's just grown out of another pair of trousers, and she's getting short on warm PJ's so a shopping trip to La Maison de Target was in order. Mission Impossible. Took her leash/monkey and she was more than a little naughty at the shops.
Oh well. In other news, doing some serious modelling at the moment, improving the skillset yet again. Might apply for some "real" jobs as the business venture is a no show.

ANZAC day
There's something about ANZAC day. I'm always a mess. When I was in the UK it was a little less emotional, but regardless I always manage to cry on ANZAC day.
I mean it's not as though I actually have a close relation or ancestor who died in war. They all managed to come home and expire of something quite different. I guess I grieve for those who didn't.
Anyways, to my Great Uncle Les Knight, who fought in WW1 in Egypt and was wounded during the last great cavalry charge in history. Got home safe, took tablets to combat the lead in his system until he was jack of it at the age of 84, refused to take more, arranged his own funeral, then gently dropped off the twig.
To Uncle Bruce Kerr, a veteran of the Kokoda Track. Returned home safely. Lived until two years ago, died peacefully at home.
To Grandfather David Bruce Kerr who served in WW1, came home and died of chronic nephritis at the age of 40 in 1933. Womaniser and rogue, I wish I had known you.
To Grandad Russell Davies, served in WW2. Never saw active service, never got to march. Bless you for serving in a foreign country you called home. Died of old age.
To all those who died in war, I grieve.
Bless you and rest in peace.

Don't spend money!
I bought a beautiful jacket yesterday. It's super funky and it looks really good. So today I've been avoiding spending money at all. Run away!
Mmmm. I've been marking work over the past few days. Interesting to note: the class that gets the bad rap is doing as well as the "good" class. Of course I omit to mention what course this is in a vain attempt to obscurificate the issue, but I think people shouldn't confuse "boisterous" with "bad". But then I'm teaching a fun course.
I'm doing well with the blog after a long drought, don't you think?
There's another memorial service on for the Browns of Kingslake this week. I'm going to try to make the funeral proper, as I think my little heart will break having to sit through another service. I feel Santo (both the Santos really but I refer to the senior) will need support as I feel he is bottling it all up for the funeral. J & M are doing better and I'm actually not too worried about them, as the mourning is progressing normally - albeit stifled through the coroner not releasing the bodies. It really is all a bit shite.
Other news a little altercation about neighbourhood rubbish as N has returned back from Melbourne. Stayed inside and out of it. Upstairs left stuff for the council, who of course didn't pick it up. Usual frictions. Duck head. Hide. DJ says I did the right thing staying out of it.
Lara popped in for a cuppa this arvo. She's been over to the old work to pick up her stuff. I predict tough times for those lovelies. Hope they grow stronger through it. Tough time to be looking for work.
