Month: March 2008

May have to see if we can persuade a couple of people to smuggle some over 🙂

Chocolate Buttons are manna from heaven. Especially Giant Buttons. But I had to give them up after realising that they were doing weird things to my heart rate. Doesn’t stop me being a rebel sometimes though 🙂

I’ve been very happy with the Ford I have now … It’s going to be a wrench to let it go. It’s reached the point where lots of things start breaking. Haven’t a clue what to get next, they don’t make my car any more so no trading it in for a younger model 🙁

Got a piccy here :

(must upgrade my blog template to make it easier to peek for old posts …)

The way the site I work on is built is to organise the buildings into 4 groups. To get my lunch, I could just go down to the canteen in the building group I’m in but I like to head over to the next one instead …

The people who work in the next one have caught my grin, which makes me grin more when I see them smile 🙂 Plus the walk over there and the fresh air will do me a lot of good.

Must get playing cricket again so I can satisfy the need for fresh air 🙂

Very cute dog!

I’ve had a VW Jetta for many years and it has been a frequent headache – their wiring is absurd and their parts cost a fortune.

Never again – I’d be better off counting on the dog to get me where I need to be

Gah! Cadbury’s chocolate buttons!! I haven’t had those since I fed them to the kids as babies. You know how it goes, half for you, 2 for mommy … and so on. LOL.

I don’t even know if we can get them out here in Canada. I’ll definitely be looking out for them!

Lol ! Just spotted in an advert break in the cricket :

VW Polo with Confidence ad

I saw the pooch in the bank and went “aawwww”. Sense of humour definitely makes an advert 🙂 Don’t think this advert will change my mind though as to whether I’ll be considering VW’s for my next car. We’ve just had too many bad ones recently. As in, 2 VW Golf TDi’s that have been below par. 2 out of 2 doesn’t inspire confidence (that word again!) that the next VW will be any good …

Nice ad though 🙂

PS I don’t share Easter Eggs. It’s mine 🙂 And will probably be gone inside 10 minutes !

Easter is a good time of year, it gives us an excuse to eat an unhealthy amount of chocolate. Here is my first naughty mistake of the year :

It’s especially naughty because Buttons are one of those things that while I’d quite happily eat them forever, they do make my heart beat strangely 🙂

Cricket’s starting up again, at least cricket I’ll be able to watch :-). There’s been cricket on telly from various parts of the world but :

Stanford 20/20 is painful to watch (a cricket addict turning off a cup final halfway in ?)
Games in Aussie have been starting at midnight.

But – we have NZ vs England starting tonight, with the first ball coming at 9.30pm local. So I’ll be able to chill out to the cricket while most likely reading a book and listening to iTunes. Yep – that means not actually paying that much attention to the cricket ! The best thing about cricket on the telly is all the replays, you know to start paying attention to the game when the commentators start getting excited. And when commentators get louder, something important has happened which means replays are sure to follow 🙂

There’s a couple of hours to go though, so I’m currently wiping things off the Skybox. At the moment it’s House season 2, with Michelle Trachtenberg being very sweet as a heart transplant girl having trouble.

Additional – incidental things show you the health of a culture. In England, the crowd is banned from straying on to the playing surface in cricket during internationals. It’s from wanting to protect the pitch from idiots mainly. It’s currently the lunch break in NZ and there’s all kinds of people having a wander around inside the boundary rope. None on the bit where the bowler bowls at the batsman but that’s the bit that gets protected by Pitchfork Wielding Groundsmen.

NZ – crowd has free rein. England – crowd is kept firmly under control. Which is the healthier culture ? Lots of good people over in England but the morons tend to spoil it.

hi there sleepypete 🙂

glad you got distracted since I completely relate to the energy flow – I’ve found just going outside and walking around a bit helps a lot.

I’m not big on martial arts so I wouldn’t have known what to say if you had stopped there – see – everything for a reason.

I came over from craziequeen’s place – uh – palace 🙂
