HELLO OCTOBER

Hello October. Wholly - Molely! (I'm not even sure how to spell that) What a bunch of days it's been. No boredom around here - I can certainly tell you that.

Let's start with the very busy weekend we had, and most of it - without internet. We had a big darts night. (loads of fun) A very big farewell party. (100 people +) A great F1 Sunday. (best race to date I think so far) and a rush to get some plane tickets and to pack-up a suitcase.

A quick trip to the big city for the first part of this week. Jakarta. Yes Jakarta is BIG. I'm not really certain how many people live there 17 or 19 million perhaps. I can't imagine how anyone would even be able to keep track. What ever the case, in a lot of other places in the world - that would be the size of a whole country in fact. This was not really an unplanned event, but true to Balikpapan style - it was a bit last minute. Anyways - great trip. And now I'm safely back.

.... and then of course. Completely, and totally missed the BLOGOVERSARY yesterday. Imagine. (?) And I even had great stuff planned for that. Like Celebrate! So for those of you who don't know what a Blogoversary is; it means I've been at this Blog thing for 1 whole year. And this - from a person who really doesn't have much talent or even the ambition to write. Even I have a hard time imagining that.

TODAY: Not sure where to begin. Need to do little bit of catching-up on things first I think.

This morning I'm sorting through what seems like a million emails and what I need to/should do and don't need to do. Quite possibly, if had a real job - I'd actually have less to do I think. Wholly - Molely!

......... and a big welcome back to my friend today too. I think it's time for a fortnight lunch pretty soon - don't you think?

Ok, better get a go on. Good to Go!

DRIP, DRIP, DRIP

Better grab a bucket. Cause the blue room ............ has sprung a leak. Ahhhh, we knew that was coming - didn't we? Just a matter of time and a little bit of rain of course. Can't wait to see how this gets fixed. My best guess - we're going to have a nice big orange tarp over the house for a bit. And at least for now - the rain has quit. I'm not sure where the maintenance guys are today - things have gotten a little sketchy around here the past week. Thank GOD we have a bucket at least.

NOTE: There is no such thing as preventative maintenance. And the drip, drip, drip ...... has been going on for months. Just like the one above our bed at night. (Can't wait till that one goes when we're sound asleep in the middle of the night.) But, need to wait until it actually makes a nice black hole in the ceiling and comes through before you can get it fixed.

Had a nice, nice night last night at the BBC. Got caught up. Met up with some other folks that have been away. Good to see you guys again. You're looking like you had a good trip. ....... and I understand you got a bonus day out of the trip. Too funny. Met some very nice people visiting from the UK too.

TODAY: Just might be a good day to hang out in the house. A good day for Scrabble and books and cleaning up the desk and maybe even an afternoon nap.

At least until latter on. The big Kaltim Panah Wind-up thing is happening tonight. Time to sharpen up the darts and finish this season up. Good darts everyone - good season - it was fun. See you all later tonight

Good to Go!
