death of a commodore.

the wagon had to go.
it was being stored in micks brothers yard for some time now, but they need to move.
i dont blame them for not wanting to take it with them, as it was a big mess. only the most devoted car restorer would be able to tackle that job and im not sure they would really want to
so mick hired a trailer and she went.
to the scrapyard.
it was a bit of a sad moment.

August 1999 - August 2009

why cant kids come with a mute button?
i mean i wouldnt use it all the time.

..just most of the time lol

last weekend. (because i didnt write about it last week and theres not much to write about this weekend)

so. kyra and phil came down last sunday to see if we wanted to go fishing. it was pretty cold so i thought id suggest going for shitty carp just for fun (which seemed easy as pie when we went last time, they bit hard and often that day) near th zoo, which people seemed happy with at the time
so we went.
and apparantly, so had the carp.
(if you look hard enough at that tree theres a magpie nest with two baby magpies in it somewhere, mum kept coming back to feed them and they would stick their heads out all chirpy like but shitty mummy magpie kept taking off everytime i got my stupid camera out.)
so we basically hung around there joking about how much crap was in th torrens (hahaha if you re-arrange crap you get carp lmao) for half th afternoon before some idiot mentioned th cave and then plans seemed to change.
so we went up to th cave for a drive.
it was really green up there, all the bulbs and annuals were starting to flower, if anything it was a bit overgrown, but i noticed there werent many sweet peas around this year (which is a good thing as they choked everything else there and became a huge fire hazard come summertime.)
the cave path was fairly overgrown but there were signs of someone having been there recently.
me and kyra begged the boys to dig up various plants (not natives, escaped european garden plants mainly, like watsonia, arum lily and th like) for our gardens so we ended up going home with a bucket full of gardening material lol
and of course mick had to find an animal (he cant seem to do anything without finding an animal) and then so did kyra. so we ended up bringing home a couple of frogs which got added to the frog pond out th back.
saw the sunset as we drove back home down to the city. awesome.

i did see two chargers in two days last week though, i thought that was pretty trippy.
day one
day two
i have a charger..
..badge.
now i just need th chassis, engine and interior to go with it lmao

its like ebay had a baby with th trading post and that baby whored itself out!

a friend recommended a site to me that allows you to post adds for free. theres everything from pets to car parts to baby goods to job advertisements. so if you live in australia its worth checking out. ive provided the adelaide link but theres other sections. Gumtree :)

theres a link! and you should check it out cos its awesome! and i did it myself!

i have re-discovered macro on my camera.
i used to use it alot back in high school in photography but have pretty much forgotten it existed since then as i havent had a good enough camera.
the camera i have now however, does have macro, so i have been taking alot of shots lately using this function. ive found flowers are a great subject as they are vivid in colour n texture which is what macro is good for.

the end result of this? i now have ALOT of flower photos clogging up my computer.
i personally think some of them are quite good and some of my friends have said that too, so i want to figure out how i can share these photos. some of them would make excellent cards. th little voice in th back of my head tells me "who th hell would want those. as if" so its hard to get motivated lol
maybe i should make up a dossier?
ooh dont i sound up myself lol a dossier...

so i didnt want to put them all here on this page, i already have them elsewhere so i have linked the image.
just click it :)
if you want to see the pictures bigger (which does them real justice - not bragging or anything :/) just click them too :)

i am so talking to myself here hahaha hilarious. oh well at least I think im entertaining lol

PET GOLDFISH LANDS ON MARS. not really, but hopefully i got your attention..

this was taken yesterday out in the back yard. it was a beautiful sunny day so i went n did some gardening and sorted out th frog pond while i was out there. i think i need to buy some cheap gold fish to stop th wrigglers breeding in there, i had to tip out th water, it was gross.
i didnt take any pictures of the frog pond (duh) but i planted some arum lillies next to it and reorganised th water lillies, weeded around it n changed th water, i went outside to look at it before n it looks alot clearer today, so hopefully th frogs like it.

its starting to feel like spring around here, flowers everywhere n warm sunny days. i think i would have to say spring is my favourite season. summer is good but i dont like still, hot 40c days where theres no wind, so no relief and th days seem to drag, waiting for th sun to go down (daylight savings helps with that lol) hurray i guess thats too come. and not too far away either, i realised yesterday its a little over 4 months until xmas (gasp! where th hell has th year gone?!) so i think sometime in th next week or two it might be a good idea for me to go and sort out some kind of xmas layby.
im effing hopeless at saving bloody money. that is definately something i need to learn. good at laybys though, yet its th same principle? go figure.

so. this is my ramble for this friday th fourteenth day of august in th year two thousand and nine.
i must go and see how far mick has gotten putting th engine into his car.

th sandcastle expedition.

mikael asked me th other day if i would take him to th beach to build a sandcastle, it was nearly dark so i said to him th next day after i picked him up from school we would go.
so i went to th school prepared with a bucket and little shovels, i figured if i was going to help id need a shovel, i haate th feeling of sand scraping under my fingernails for some reason, it gives me cold shivers.it was pretty nice weather, got a bit cold as th sun got lower so we went home before sunset. it was a good day though.speaking of weather it has been awesome here th last couple of days. warm n sunny, a bit like summer even! (im not lying) although, it has still been pretty windy. a warm wind, its wierd. not even spring yet. anyway, signing off x
