Moving offices.

Bye bye old office.

Hello new office! Yes, I'm definitely moving up in the world :-)

Yesterday we gave the birds some broccoli. Cocky-boy doesn't like it but cocky-girl loves it. She doesn't eat it though, she thinks it's better used as a soap. All morning she clutched the broccoli, taking little nibbles and then rubbing it all over her. I think every single feather has been coated with broccoli-soap...


It was a very mild winter day today.

In the evening I made a salad with chicken.

The beach

Finally, more than 2 weeks after my operation I went for a drive with Nicole again. The beach is my favourite place here so that's where we went to.

Passing Semaphore.

A bit further down the coast...

Larg's jetty!

The gulls are still there.

Lovely beach where the land slides in to the water.

Enjoy my 'happy' face ;-)

The beach was a bit dirty with dead sea weed but still beautiful.

Bling bling.

Our shadows.

We had fish and chips. I hadn't had any in ages. There is always too much chips so we feed that to the birds. I like to hand-feed them, it's awesome. They must've missed me because they were daring like never before. One actually stole from the box and they came really close today, I could feel the wind from their flapping. Awesome :-)

The chimneys I photographed on my very first holiday here.


At home one of the doves was around.

Yeah, definitely broken

Yep, my iMac's harddisk is really, definitely broken. We brought it back to the shop this morning. Should take 7 days max the guy said. I'd like to see that he's right but I cannot imagine they can fix it that fast.

Then it was off to the shops. I hadn't been in a car seat for 2 weeks, bit exciting.

Plenty of other people using their car seats today...

The hair cut

My hair was just getting ridiculously long. It was just insane. It started taking really long to dry etc ;-P So it was time for a trim!

Before.

After.

Broken...

Last night my big computer broke down. I think it's the hard disk and it will go back to the shop this Saturday. I think it will be under warranty as I bought an Apple care pack when I bought it. It started showing symptomms of impending doom so thankfully the very last action that I successfully completed was a backup. I may still have lost my address book and my bookmarks though. Not happy.

The butter chicken

I scored!

Butter chicken for lunch. Actually very nice.

The birds surviving the cold. Although cocky-boy seems to be a bit shaky...

The hail storm

Good morning.

During the night we had two hail storms. During the first one, at 12:30, I was outside climbing a bloody ladder in the pissing rain to check the gutter (behind the bird cages) because we had a leak above our kitchen. The noise of the hail coming down on our tin roof was frightening, seriously. The gutter was clean, it must've been blocked with hail.

Late afternoon I went for a walk around the block. I needed a bit of exercise badly.
