Sexual Harassment

Still Sick! Bugger!
Haven't been doing anything, just sitting around home playing on the Internet.

So what's the Sexual harassment bit about then? Well, there is a contract worker at work who sits in stack and he makes a point of saying hello to me all the time- just a hello and that's it, then he checks out my ass or whatever pervert poofters do. ( A normal bloke would say how'd ya team go in the weekend or something blokey like that- not this guy).
On Friday this reached it's zenith- as I'd been sick from work for a few days- I didn't make it to this part of stack till Friday, when this guy says "Haven't seen you for a while" or something like that, so I mumble 'yeah i've been sick'. Anyway, I've got a good mind to get Perry to have a word to this guy and say "Keep your eyes off my meat, bitch" or get my wife to have a word with him, that'll really mess with his head!

It's been a quiet weekend. I went to watch the Canes on Friday nite. Had work on Saturday.
Did nothing Sat nite- Di has somehow managed to catch my cold.
We did nothing today.
I sussed out this great store in Brooklyn that I wanna check out, they have about 1000 different beers, over 200 cheeses and lots of chocolates- yes that's right, it's a health store!
Check out the site here.

week starting 20th April

On Sunday nite Vinnie spoke to me on the phone, of course he called me a 'pooh bum' and I said he was, but he did speak to me on the phone and he doesn't do that alot.
Hayley has put some good shots of Gus and Vinnie on Facebook.
Tuesday: Tonite we watched a program called "Around the World in 80 Gardens". The reason I tuned in cause it was going to Oz & NZ. The last garden the guy went to was in New Plymouth(!) called Te Kainga Marire. I've never heard of it but it's not far from the Te Henui walkway. So I'll have to go there next time I'm back.
Went to Volleyball and lost.
Felt a bit sick Friday- sore throat but made it thru the day- didn't go to watch footy after work. Had a really crap sleep and woke up feeling worse- so I didn't go to The Local for the ANZAC day brews and I'm sitting home drinking water. I think I will go and watch the Canes v Brumbies game. The Canes killed it, thrashed the Brumbies big time 56-7! First time The Canes have been at the top of the table as far as I'm aware.
The pub was busy as it's Anzac Day.
Sunday: My cold/flu is in full force- feeling pretty lousy and probably won't go to work tomorrow. Still went to Dapto tho to pick up my wife.

Week starting April 13th

It's Tuesday already. It's almost 11 and Di hasn't got up and made my coffee!
We did nothing yesterday- the weather wasn't great.

In the 80's in NZ a movie called "Goodbye Pork Pie" was released- it was about a couple of guys who took a stolen Mini from Auckland to Invercargill and the hi-jinks that happens on the way. Since it's the Mini's 50th birthday, a car club in NZ has arranged a fun drive fundraiser that tracks the trail of said movie. I mention this because my Dad is on this trip with an old mate of his at the moment- i got a text from him today. It sounds fun!
My Duvel t-shirt arrived in the post- thanx Carol. (I look hot in it!)
Thursday:my volleyball team has a bye. After work I walk to my accountants place and pick up my tax refund, then walk up to The Cross and catch a train to Bondi. Di's paying off a lamp still.
Di and I get a BBQ Pork Soup- it was delish! Perry Goulder gets a foccacia and finished off Di's soup! We have a look around- Perry thinks i'm ill 'cos I didn't buy anything!

This week marks 6 months till we go to New York!! Any thoughts on what we should do/see/eat/drink? I reckon a big part of a trip is plotting and planning what you will or might do. When we went in 2004 I went to a bar (by myself) that i'd heard about on the net (go here) and since then I've heard of more bars (here, here, here, here and here) that have lots of US/Euro (craft) beers on tap that I wanna check out. They have good happy hours too, which makes it not too pricey! Di's sister lives near a bottle store that sells beer only- imagine that, beer only! So cool. (And it's run by a scary chick!) I'm going to work out a list of beers months in advance that I wanna get that you just never see over here.
This is my short list of bars:

Tonite I went to watch the Blues v Highlanders game- quite entertaining.
Saturday: got up late, had a coffe and next thing you know it's time to go & watch The 'Canes play (3:30 sydney time)- as per usual they took a while to really get on top, but hey a win is a win! Did nothing Sat. nite.
Sunday: Di slept in forever then we got a coffee. Got some groceries in Leichhardt and that was our weekend.
Work is getting busy so I figure this could be a long week coming.

Two Short Weeks, One Long Wknd

Had work Mon, Tues and Weds. We both have Thu- Tues off.
No big plans. Today after a coffee and a well earned we rest we went to a (big) Bunnings nearby.
Di got some garden stone things for her parents place then off to the Supermarket in Summer Hill to get supplies- the Queen is coming! Not HRH, but Perry Goulder in all his glory.
We are going to the local leugues club to see Abbalanche (get it?!) and hopefully i'll be multi tasking with a Hurricanes v Force game on somewhere in the building.
On Saturday we will go and see a friend from work who lives out in the suburbs somewhere.
Sunday will be Dapto.
Monday and Tuesday relax.
I had Volleyball on Thursday nite-we did next to nothing during the day.
On Friday we went to a B-day party for Louis- he turned 1. Louis is the spawn of Mark and Annie who live just a block away- and Di and I work with Mark. We had a nice time in the park, it was quite sunny and after a few beers we felt wiped out.
Perry came around about 6pm and we had a lovely meal- salmon with a champagne jus then, we went to see Abbalanche- do I need to say see the above photo? They started late (9:35+) which was a mixed blessing as i got to see The 'Canes come from behind and beat the Force-boy was I excited. Anyway, Abbalanche were quite good but we were a bit tired by the time it was over.
Perry stayed the nite, we got up late-ish and went for a coffee. At about midday we headed off in the car to Casula:

This is where another friend from work lives, Maria P, and we had lunch with her and her daughter. Perry eat so much he turned white and couldn't move. Anyway we had a nice afternoon talking shop. Got home and was so full we didn't end up having dinner!
Went to Dapto today- meet Tim's girlfriend Emma who seems nice. Didn't do much. Those dogs are such a pain in the arse, I can't tell you!
Bessie and Harold have a new lounge suite, it's pretty good.
The week that was.
