Bendigo
On the weekend just gone myself and Janine drove up to Bendigo to visit some old mates that I lived with in the UK. Even before we left the metropolitan it had started to pour down which made road conditions a little more challenging. After a couple of stops and a gps glitch we arrived at Bill & Christine’s safely. Not long after that we hit the piss. I think we all woke up a little shaky and not quite with it, which was alright because it was voting day (who really wants to be well when voting). Seeings I didn’t pack a pair of pants we headed off to the shops to grab a pair, mean while the rain was still throwing it down. At this stage I had a quick think and declared it time to start drinking again. Bill showed us all the local pubs as we tested their beers. Not long after that we were home and got stuck into the piss again (bless us). I’m not sure how we got talked into it but me and bill found ourselves having a swim in a middle of a storm, mind you it was a short swim. Once out and dried off it was time for dinner which was Christine’s delicious lasagna (yum). A few more hours in saw us ringing the UK and annoying some old friends. Sunday morning saw us creep out of bed at a little later time but not to late to enjoy Christine’s beautiful fry up. All in all Janine and myself had a great time. Cheers to Bill & Christine for their hospitality!
Out with the old in with the new
You would never believe what happened last night. I had just finished downloading cod black ops for the Xbox and managed to get five minutes of play in before I got the dreaded 3 flashing lights. My first thoughts were “life is over” but then I shook my head and thought again “I know … I’ll buy another one” and that I did. This one has the kinect camera which is awesome. Babeola loves the dance game that came with it and I love the games that came with the camera. So what we’re doing is mixing alcohol and Xbox together and having our own little party!!!
Killing is fun
It’s a Thursday night and we are nearing another weekend, so I decided to dust of the old keyboard and start playing some Team Fortress 2. Man haven’t had this much fun in a while. For those of you don’t have it get … Wild !!!
Thirsty Thursday
With summer on the way and an appetite for alcoholic beverages the boys all headed over to bryce’s. We pretty much kicked back in his backyard with our poisons of choice til the sun went down. Cheers blokes.
Sunday Wii Action
After a nice sleep in we finally got up and had a beautiful breaky prepared by Janine herself. Once full and showers we headed out together to get some screen protectors for my iPhone 4. Just before we headed back we got a couple of boost juice drinks which carried us thru too this afternoon where we have setup the Wii. From here on Janine has hogged the tv … Bless her
Kicking back in Kew
A relaxing Saturday night back in Kew after going to the movie today to watch “The Town” which was good ( could of been more action packed or faster paced ). After that it was topped of by having dinner at the Kew Hotel which was a good feed. Now we’re kicking back on the couch drinking bundy ( me ) and wine ( Janine ), watching “A Few Good Men”.
Cup Weekend – Wash Out
Well another Cup weekend has been and gone. This trip was meant to take us into the snowy mountains, but a few things stopped us. First thing that went wrong was Dan’s rig, it started spitting oil out of one of the front axel seals. Decision was made there and then that we will all stick together and made camp at the first stop which was in the alpine national park by a river. Tents were set up and a fire was started followed by an endless supply of alcohol which was mainly made of beer and bundy ( Janine had gin 🙂 ).
All was well until the next morning when it stated raining early and literally didn’t stop till about 24 hours later. By this time Dan was yelling to everyone to get up and pack up. Still a little sleepy I opened the tent and saw my food box float past!
Pretty much everyone was jumping out of there tents and grabbing there gear and throwing it in their rigs wet and unsorted. The main aim was to get the hell out of there while the tracks are still above water. We all managed to get out (drenched) and decided it was time to cut our losses and head home. End of the day we all got home safely and Dan’s car is repaired.
