- Dinner with the folks. They get to see the battlewagon. Puggle is very keen on it, and Bilby didn’t like going for a drive in the old car
- Pretty much proof the car dealer put a car they were too lazy to let us drive ‘on offer’ (it’s no longer on offer since our sale was finalised, but it’s still there unsold).
- Trying to sell the old car. Vacuuming and detailing. The harder I vacuum the more sand is revealed. When did we stuff it full of Christmas trees?
- Farewell morning tea, luncheon, and post-work drinks for the old boss. Last time he was farewelling me
- Pizza dinner with Redbraids and MikeyOb, which was very pleasant, and reminded us of our laxness in inviting people over for dinner for adult conversation…
- The annual paying of the big bills, and doing of the tax. Followed by the watching of the bank balance. Then the bill for the stamp duty on the car arrives
- My GP retired. Then started running for the Labor party!
- Puggle is obsessed with take-away chicken from Chooks after we bought some the other night. Tonight he offered that he and Bilby would order that, and we could eat the regular dinner. He asked for the phone number so he could ring up and order some. He even suggested that he and Bilby might eat some regular dinner as well as Chooks. I suspect we may not go there in a while until the obsession has died down!
- Edging closer to the arrival of Cygnet. I should really start looking at names.

The Week, Redux
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008The Week, redux
Monday, March 10th, 2008The start of the week seems a long time ago.
- Students return and wander the halls looking lost.
- WAMUG AGM, I manage to not get elected President. Yay!
- Household is down a computer. Resurrection attempts unsucessful. Backup exists but should have been a bit more current. Reprioritise maintenance of backup system. Puggle is deprived of YouTube.
- More of the public transport and walking thing.
- Gary Gygax died. His legacy was and is lots of fun for millions of people. Vale.
- Beer at the Belgian Beer Cafe, where you can get charged $24.50 for a stein of Hoegarden plus $5 deposit for the glass. Or you can get charged the same amount for a pint if you’re not paying attention… Fortunately they refunded.
- Mulberry crumble (or as Puggle called it ‘crimble crumble’) from our tree. Powered by Puggle pee.
- Bilby sang the tune to Click Go The Shears after Puggle sang it.
- No beer at home. Rectified.
The week, redux
Sunday, February 17th, 2008- An extra 50 minutes of walking as a result of getting off the bus at earlier stops. Yay for exercise!
- MacGeeks dinner at Tsunami
- Sorry day, and Rudd further restoring my pride in being Australian.
- Valentines day (ignored, with apologies to greeting card, flower and chocolate companies)
- A summons to the GP as a result of the cholesterol test.
- Watching Bilby walk around the house without assistance, even carrying things when she’s asked to tidy up after Puggle
- Pushing the swing for Bilby and Puggle and friends. Need to find some way to bolt it to the ground better, they’re all getting heavier.
- Taming of the Puggle (well, more attempts thereof)
- Dinner with the workmates (anchovies, anchovy oil and caramelised onion makes a great pizza if you like anchovies).
- Crossing minor achievable tasks off the list (dug up the fig for a refund, updated car rego and parking stickers)
- Dinner with Skip
