I think its time you all saw how my dad occupies his retirement. Mum asked for a chair, she got this ...

construction time approx. one month, cost approx. $AU200 (mostly made from second hand wood my little brother collected, he's a proper carpenter).

Dad also makes toys, just call him gepetto

this is me being gandalf at the SGAU ball, there were better pics taken of me being gandalf but you cant see them. I had a really good time pretending to be not there.
my apologies to whoever i stole that pic from

OK so now I am bored.
Mostly I do all my communication via SGchat, but that isnt working right now.
So you get a new post here in my journal.
But I have nothing to say.

Well unless you wanna hear about my walk to the shops on tuesday.

basically I do this every year about this time clean slate

now you get to see all 3 of me.
1. how I look now
2. how I looked 1 evening in chat when I platted my beard
3. how I looked in 2002 just after the trim for ID photo

I have lived in Australia for 37 years, and today was the first time I have seen a koala in a suburban tree. Granted I do live kinda close to where the suburbs run out and the hills begin but still. First Time! It was sleeping tho.

I did an incredibly stupid thing today (I bet that alone surprises you, "Nevyn do something incredibly stupid? never, haha"). Anyway there I am making my lunch time coffee, I notice the coffee jar is getting a bit empty so I grab the tin and top it up, then remove the top and bottom of the tin for recycling. The kettle stops boiling and I go to pour the boiling water into the cup, heres the incredibly stupid part, I pour the water into the coffee jar instead. So now I have half a jar of incredibly concentrated liquid coffee.

I'm back
