The mother of all updates...

Hmmm, well it is actually more like a long lost cousin from the Deep South that your mum didn't tell you about cos it turned out that that side of the family believed staunchly in economies and efficiency, so they decided to combine 4 generations into 3 members of the family, but you know what I mean.

Seeing as one or two of you (ok, so in theory it was actually two of you, and you both know who you are, you sweet, sweet loving individuals - so what do you want from me anyway, apart from my rapier-like wit, my rugged good looks or my wine collection, of course?) suggested I should update my blog, and I am a sucka when a cute girl suggests anything to me at the best of times (although some of the anatomical self-exploration that has been proposed from time to time sounded like more trouble than it was worth), here we go.

So I have bored you lot with the whole renovation plan thing, si? Well, on Sunday, while nursing a slight lack of sleep over some alcohol consumption the previous evening, I spent several hours at Domayne in Alexandria looking at bathroom fittings. Now I had no idea how interesting it could be exploring the multi-faceted world of taps, tiles and baths. Not to mention spouts. Hooowey! So I am liking the dorf (no, not dork) kemi cross range. You have no concept of how fulfilling...

And that reminds me, Saturday night my friend celebrated his birthday. Being the rebellious lad that he is, he bucked several trends and insisted on no gifts. Okeedokee then. AND he insisted on supplying the wine. Hmm, ok. So we may have had (indulge me here, it is my blog after all and at some time in the future I may look back on this with fond or embarrassed nostalgia, so...) some Petaluma Riesling 1997, and then some Bannockburn pinot, also 1997. That was followed by 1995 and 1997 Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 1, and we finished with some Turkey Flat Pedro Ximinez. My life sucks, huh? That wasn't so bad was it? ok, maybe it was, but it is done now.

Have I told anyone that it is bad idea to have a very attractive architect? It makes it really hard to say no to anything. You know, stuff like, well anything that will kill your budget.

Then again I am reduced to having to pick from my married friends to accompany me on my bookings for two to go to Oscillate Wildly. Of course, I could just not book for 2, but where would the fun be in that? There is that pesky issue of needing to book a couple of months in advance...

Have fun, y'all, let's see if I actually get any comments on here any more... cos I used to get heaps.
