The blasts from the past

Turned on the tellie in the morning and what do I see?

Vanilla Ice singing "Ice ice baby". My day had started off good!

The day got even better when I remembered Vicky had brought me pancakes from the Croatian club the night before. They made a de-li-cious breakfast!

Next up were Dead or alive.

Their hit song was called "You spin me around".

I liked hearing it again very much.

Oldfashioned but very entertaining video. Lots better than that modern day shit.

A little bit newer: Supergrass.

"Alright".

Cool vid.

Even more newer but awesome video: Outkast.

Very talented guys who made their contracted albums for Sony and then quit I believe.

Outkast is only 2 guys. This is all them I believe. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Coolness.

Who's this young lady?

Yes, it's Kylie Minogue! Almost 20 years ago I reckon.

This must be Jason Donovan then.

I've always had a weak spot for her...

Unfortunately she's already with Jason.

Then U2 came on.

"Beautiful day". It was 37C in our garden today btw. A bit too hot if you ask me.

The Edge looks like something fell on his foot...

Last but not least they played "Take on me" from A-ha. Great classic.

It's about a girl reading a comic or something in a cafetaria. The comic is about "Bertus op sien Norton en Tinus op de BSA" I think...

Anyway, they finish eventually. Or, well, they pass a dude waving a flag. God knows what that means...

Reminds me of something: I was flagged 3 times once while go-karting. I didn't know what it meant so I didn't take much notice untill those bastards turned my kart's engine off. Aparently I had to let faster karts pass me. What's the sport if I do that?!

The coffeelady in the cafetaria is awfully disturbing. obviously she never reads any comics.

You can just tell she loves reading comics...

Here it gets weird. A cartoon-hand comes up out of the paper. Yeah right.

She then takes the hand and guess what?

She ends up in the comic herself!! If that's not freaky...

And the other way around: In the cartoon there's a flesh and blood keyboard player! Surely that's not for real? What do you think?

After these blasts from the past I was pushed back into the reality of the day: Shopping at Woolworths.

I wanted to go back to Virginia, to the gardencenter to get a better bottom pot for my ubercool to-be waterfeature. We passed "Adelaide wreckers" who aparently specialise in British AND European cars!!! How about that?

In the evening Nic took a shower in the garden. Oh the mozzies must have had a feast...

Hot

It was hot today but nevertheless we had places to go to...

My faithfull chaufeur was awaiting my presence in our vehicle.

We drove to a nursery in a little town outside of Adelaide called "Virginia". I bought shallow black pots and a little 5 Watt pump to make a water feature with. It's supposed to work on solar power so I think we're not going to get the 5 Watt maybe but maybe it will work on a lower voltage as well. Stay tuned!

As it was too hot to do anything else I turned on the airconditioner and worked on my coffeetable traintrack plan the rest of the day.

Sunset nr. 500

I wonder if this person got a cold yet...

The trolley bay at the mall parking lot.

Nicole was colouring in mandalas a bit today.

I bought some magazines. 2 about cars and 1 about electronics.

In the evening we went to the beach again.

The sea was ever so beautifull and we actually saw the dolphins a few times. One of the times they swam about 20 metres away from the coast!

Hmmmmm... water.

Just amazing.

2nd Christmas evening at the beach

We walked Mason today. He needs a bit more training when it comes to walking. He doesn't get walked that often, he usually goes for a big run session so this is a bit different for him. He loves to walk around though but he pulls a lot coz of his enthousiasm and curiousity.

"KITTY" was getting a new dvd next door.

Some bonsais are doing well and some arent. But the walnut tree (top most) is getting at least 4 new shoots!

In the evening we drove to the beach. It was amazingly quiet on the road.

The harsh weather of the week before Christmas left a lot of stuff washed on the beach.

Nicole and I watching the sunset.

Ain't it another beauty?

The beach looked beautifull in the evening light.

We walked...

... and saw more sunset...

... untill it was gone.

The water was delightfull.

I love how the water looks...

... you wouldn't say I like water picstures do you? ;-P

Water makes everything look so... fresh.

Sky after the sunset.

Beach view...

Nicole in the evening breeze coming off the sea.

I loved the pattern in the sand. Desktop material I think...

Evening sky.
