Our friends from Mars

On our way to work we had to take a detour because someone had smashed into a electricity pole and it fell on the road blocking traffic in both lanes. Someone had to spend the day without powerrrrrrrr. Or actually I think it was a pole like the one you see here. Just for street lighting. The broken one is in the distance.

My manager, Justin, spent the past two days at the Mars plant in Ballarat. We make software for them and they pay us in chocolate bars of all kinds ;-)

They gave Justin a box full of chocolate bars when he left.

Lunch was difficult. Beef long bean or Snickers, Malteser's and Milkyways?

Tomorrow is going to be heaven. All my colleagues will be gone to a company meeting in Perth (where I unfortunately can't attend because I'm house-sitting) and I will be alone in an office with (STEPHEN M, are you paying attention?) 500+ candy bars and m&m's etc. Not to mention 2 6-packs of beer. Must put beer in the fridge when I come in...

It was sunny during lunch. The girls at the Thai place know me now and they predict my order pretty accurate. If only they would stop calling me 'sir'. Very Thai...

In the evening I cooked crumbed fish.

And I watched another episode of Family Guy.

Family guy and his mates won a look-a-like contest by dressing up as the A-team.

Nicole started making a cake when I was starting my blog. Plenty of opportunity to try out our new blender.
