herbs...growing...

Thats about it really. You know, thats been happening.

Basil poking its head out of the planter box, with my beady eye watching it every day. I bought a watering can (can it still be a watering can if its made of plastic?) in the shape of an elephant with the water coming out of its snout - It`s fun. And blue. With huuuuge eyes.

So yeah. Lifes been pretty moochy lately.

We did have a grand Cricket and Rugby Introductory Day through work last weekend. A couple of hours of cricket and then 40 minutes or so of rugby for people that had hardly heard of either game. It was super fun. ("yeah, so that's why we call it silly mid-on.......no?.....oh....never mind") We had a lot of kids come along so we broke it up with Vegemite and chippie sandwiches (YUM!!) and oodles of fun were had by all. Bloody hot though. Got my first official sunburn of the 2005 summer season. You can still get burnt on a cloudy (petro-chemical-ly hazy) day. Remember that kids. Remember it well.

Nics folks arrive here next Friday (not this one) which will give us a chance to go up to Kyoto and have a look around again. Kyoto is a pretty fun city, its got some grand, grand, grand bits and peices that make you sit back on your keister and grin like an idiot. Looking forward to getting back there. We used to go quite a bit when we were in Gifu and Arch so kindly lived so close to the Kyoto City. They were grand days. but since baldy made the (fairly selfish if you ask me) decision to move on and make something of himself we haven't made an appearance. It should be super.

The rest of the itinerary is fairly fluid at the moment, we'll let you know how it comes out.

On a different note, today is whats called in the clan "Airbag Day" celebrating the explosive little wonders' role in keeping my Mum and Dad and Littlest Big Sister around following a rather nasty "momentum vs. sudden stop" incident in the States a while back. So to one and all - buckle the hell up and Happy Airbag Day.

Thats me. I have some basil to eyeball.
