Movember Update
My Mo is going well, I have gone from a beard to a goatee and then finally some sort of handlebar mo. There will be a funny morph video showing my mo from day 1 to 30 at the beginning of December.
Movember
Today was a public holiday in Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup Race, which is a horse race that is ran every year. I went to a girls house, Tanya who used to work at Lonely Planet with me. She and her husband, Nev had a BBQ and invited some friends and family around. The weather was not the best but at least it was dry, you do not need the sun to have a BBQ in Australia.
Burnt Fingers
Ouch, I picked up the tray that goes inside the oven last night and I did not know that my hand was not fully covered by the towel. I picked it up and it was boiling hot but by the time my brain told me I was in pain it was to late. It took me so long to get my fingers off the grill that I now have a flame grilled look on my fingers. If you look carefully, you can see both my middle fingers with a nice grill look. < H3>Mazeltov to Francesca and Johnny on the news of the engagement. I am just waiting for a date now so I can book my flight.
New Website
This picture is for everyone who has not seen my new haircut, I suppose that includes everyone apart from Grandpa Casper and Grandma Joyce who I get to see regularly on Skype.
Krispy Kreme
I am having a lazy weekend , I have been to a new doughnut shop in the city and got myself a dozen selection for the football tonight. Despite the hype, they taste just like any other doughnut. For some reason when I left the shop there was loads of people waiting, I think I must have timed it just right.
Godskitchen
The past few days the weather has been very hot in Melbourne. Saturday was 26 degrees and sunny which is amazing in October, roll on Global Warming.
Skype
I have just had my first Skype video conference call with my grandpa. The sound was in and out, sometimes it was clear, as if he was stood next to me and the next it starts breaking up. The video picture on the other hand was excellent. I managed to see my grandpa and caught a quick glimpse of my grandpa in your dressing gown.
Josh
Josh has arrived minus any clothing that goes beyond his elbows. Today we went shopping to get him some warm clothes. Apart from that and eating out we have not been out, Josh seems to be falling asleep all the time and he is now.
