Murphy's Law

Went to Apollo Bay to visit folks and get some dark sky action. Left Wednesday evening, got to the Bay about 10:30pm to crystal clears skies. Did not get out that night, would have been a bit rude. Stayed down to Sunday afternoon and guess what? Not a night of clear skies the whole time. Get back to Melbourne yesterday and the weather clears.

Murphy's Law in practice

Bugger the office and garage.

How much concrete do you need Peter. I thought your driveway was finished and quite a work of art at that.

I am stuck at home by choice we decided not to drive anywhere over the weekend (too many idiots). Did go to the Easter in the Country here. Going to do a pre sale service on my spare rideon mower after I have lunch and then go to my office and backup my hard drive on my work PC, employer is about to up grade from XP to Win7 and have to make sure I dont lose anything important.
Still a week of holidays left .

Might go up to Yarraman tomorrow or wednesday to mow the yard and visit friends in Blackbutt.

Adrian

I hope everything is OK Pete. Say hello to the family from Helen and I and of course Bella.
We will probably see you later in the year.

Of course good luck with the Op.

Cheers

Spent the last few days packing for an upcoming move (Hobart).
Weighing each box as it's packed to make sure that they will fit in the new Van.

It's amazing the amount of 'stuff' I've acquired here in the last 22 years here despite it being a very small house.
