Here's some more flood photos - moreso of what it's like now that the water is receeding.  I'm actually still amazed at the level of it, but my rellies reckon it's slowly receeding and the clean-up procedure is well into action.  Mum's very happy that my brother's got stuck out there to...

Well I log into facebook this morning and my parents and relatives have put up more photos of exactly how far the river has broken it's banks.  I'm glad I hightailed it outta there when I did!  There's no hope of getting anywhere now!!  I think this is now the biggest flood I've ev...

<<<faves only entry thatta way <<< So I was out there on Christmas Day and the Condamine River was only just under the bridge then.  It's clearly well over now! LOL!  I stayed in Toowoomba at Kristy's until my trip was cut short by the news I'd be stranded if I didn't ...

I almost didn't even make it out to the parents and Kiki's place for Christmas because my damn car wouldn't start!  I tried everything - new battery in it, new spark plugs, more fuel - nothing.  My friend Matt was helping me and he was adamant that the car wasn't gunna start, but I abso...

Yes it's very cliche, but I just wanna say Merry Christmas to all my readers and noters and favourites over the past year - it's been a great one and I hope you have an amazing Christmas, whether you're spending it alone by yourself or with family or with loved ones, remember that if you've…

I had a pretty busy day yesterday, finally doing shit lol.  Now I'm sitting here thinking about what I actually did do.  That's right, Benji came over and stayed the night, when I went to Chermside to go shopping with Moe and a friend of his I didn't know (Benji knew him though, which s...

(If you're sick of reading this feel free to skip to the next diarist in your bookmarks - I know I would be, but I need, NEED to clear my head and this is where I do so.)  The free-and-easy way of life is SO much easier than this!!  AGGHHH I feel like I'm going…

So my three night weekend has now turned into a one-night weekend, and that's on Sunday.  My boss rang me (while I was asleep as usual) and asked me if I could come in that night because the other night guy had called in sick.  I was really looking forward to having a few nights…

Last night at work was a rather busy night.  I dunno if it was the slow trickle of dregs left over from the Ashes cricket or what (The GABBA is about 200 meters from my work), but wow it was pretty crazy.  The other guy who does nights was on the arvo shift and he…

I've been keeping an eye on the newspapers at work this week to do a little experiment on how much the gay-marriage debate has risen.  2010 has really been the 'Year of action' in the LGBTI community and I'd have to agree with that.  I also truly think that the Melbournians/Melbournites...
