ramble on

We went to West End on Saturday, out to a little bar/restaurant there called Lock'n'Load.. I must admit, its one of my favourite, not only cause of the name... but its small and good and has this little garden out the back.. :) Anyway.. we caught a taxi home and had one of the best taxi drivers ever... Australian guy, who drove incredibly fast, took us a quick way home, knew where he was going, listened to Led Zeppelin, raced another car full of idiots and won and was just generally brilliant.
It was the best... its so good to find a taxi driver that is brilliant... :)
And Led Zeppelin is wonderful... at least I think so... :)

This was the song Mr Taxi Driver had playing:



One of my favourites!

In Byron Bay today... and tomorrow, and Sunday, and was here yesterday too... Heh.. had to come down to man the office while the normal guy that mans the office went to sydney for something... noone else to answer the phones, so they sent me down here... Its been raining, and then sunny, then raining, then pouring, then cloudy... and cold the whole way through. Not the best weather for it, but hey... they are paying for my accommodation down here, and we even get a weekend down here!

*yay*

Its really quiet here at this school, which is great for a change. Normally I'm flat out and there are tonnes of students all around, this school on the otherhand is small small small... great for writing blogs! and checking blogs! hehe

Things coming along alright otherwise... townhouse is still being built, we had a slight hiccup with fence, but think thats all sorted now. Have been looking at puppies... ;) We found these adorable staffy x labradors, they were my favourite, but possibly going to grow too big for our place... also found these adorable cattle pups... but also possibly going to grow too big. Damn. So we've been looking at staffy pups.. heh.. maybe getting one for my birthday! hehehe Can't wait!

I painted my nails red, which is something i normally wouldn't do, but i'm finding i like it.. they are this ruby colour, which is really pretty, like i've got candy nails.. and i feel like the girl that writes this blog: http://taza-and-husband.blogspot.com/

She always has red nails... :)

Anyway.. thats the random news from me... over and out

check da e-mail

hahaha

cause I haven't seen him in ages.. I present to you STRONG BAD!

Receeded

Escaped the floods again.. well, the waters have receeded. You would have seen on flickr, we got flooded again here. Worse this time, a meter more than last time... but at least it was still below our floor level. And we didn't lose anything... just had a lot of mud to clean out of our garage...
It was pretty insane... they had boats checking people down our street! BOATS! hahaha... and not blow up ones, but real aluminum boats... hahaha.. we are thinking of purchasing a boat and tieing it to our stairs, incase it happens again.. hahahaha

Came up to the same height as last time, or just below, and stopped for a little while and then continued to come up... to an incredible height compared to before. Was pretty crazy coming home through the waters! They even closed down Lutwyche Road because it was flooded... just insane.

We were lucky, Mateus was able to finish work early and come home and then moved everything from downstairs, shifted the washing-machine up on top of the laundry sinks and made sure our bins were secure before the water came up. Then he even came out and rescued me from the waters... :) such a good one!


That was pretty full on, and hit at a time when we've been rather preoccupied with other things... such as: buying a house!

Mateus and I have put an offer in to buy a townhouse in Zillmere... :) A two bedroom, two storey new townhouse that will be finished in June. We've put an offer, and have gone to the bank for the loan and are just waiting for confirmation of the loan and we've got all the money sorted... and yeah, it will be ours! Woohoo!!

Thats a link to a townhouse that is a mirror image of ours, ours is the same except on the opposite side... And ours will have wooden floors.

Pretty exciting hey?! Thanks for the help with getting it too... :)

Hope it all comes through. Will be great to have a place of our own... and a little strange too. I can't imagine living somewhere where I can do whatever I want... I mean, paint the walls or put in a nail or something without having to think about a landlord or real estate agent. That will be strange! haha.. A place of our own!

And we've already checked, its not flood prone! hoorah!! :D hahahaha

hectic

Haven't posted in a while...

Things have been a bit hectic.
