Busy busy

I have had a fantastic weekend. It all started with Friday night when I went out with some work colleagues and had a great time. Caught up with Jacqui which is good as she's now working in the valley at a different company. Saturday, fixed 3 electronic broken things in 10 minutes for a friend of mine. Then it could have gone downhill from there as I was trying to go on a picnic which didn't end up happening as sleep (on somebody else's behalf) got in the way. So instead I went and smacked some little yellow golf balls around a driving range. Pretty happy with my swing and to top it off I won the putt putt challenge :) Then there was swimming, coffee and playing xbox until 3am with 4 player Halo 2. For all those who have played, there is a certain joy involved in having the sword and chasing people down to assassinate them. And when they run away sticking a grenade on them instead. Ah, the memories :)

Sunday I cleaned. Not the whole time, just enough to feel accomplished. I can see the entirety of the floor of my room. I even did the dutiful son thing and said hello to my parents. I would have done it yesterday but they weren't home. That's got to be extra brownie points, right Mum? I know you're reading :)

Now next week I just have to organise the training material for the my trip to Maryborough and to get my car serviced. I almost feel organised :)

Quote of the day: The Lord bless Charlie Mops! (I'm hoping someone other then Cameron may get it)

Long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral,
a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Curtis bar, the James' Pub,
the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of,
its Charlie's beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses
at eleven O'clock ye stop
for five short seconds,
remember
Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral,
a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make
your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep
away the quacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny
and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral,
a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Lord bless Charlie Mops!
