Desk Gold

Well i was sitting here watching Miami Ink and realised that i was bored, Tloml and Caitlin fast asleep..pepper out cold at my feet so i was basically on my own. So i popped the camera out and took some pictures just some random items on my desk. The above picture of the unicorns is actually a wind chime hanging in the dining room of my mums house. I am using it as my current windows wallpaper.

Got this little monkey from Philip, its less then an inch high but the strange thing is the pink or fleshtone face and the red lipstick, the missing link?

A nut and bolt set from my old ergo bag...served me well that bag.

Ah...the last of the Ramon Allones Hand Made Cuban Cigars that the Jost clan bought for me, what a beauty.

er..my watch. One of the things about me is that i dont like to take my watch off except for when i am using the computer, got to take it off then

Reckon Tiger balm has saved my life on more then one occasion

Carrabiner...used for an infamous attempt at adventure

As i finish this blog, i hear the familiar voice of Steve Irwin on animal planet, he really was the most "alive" person on T.V..

Babe in arms

I remember it like it was yesterday...

Monday was my father's birthday. We had a little dinner at home just my mum, the machados and my family. Thanks to Tloml for cooking....i reckon its time for that heavy sigh.

Baptism Round Two

The second batch of pictures from Caitlins Baptism! This time all pics , well most fo them have been taken by the Doo aka Grandpa.
A little trivia, Caitlins baptism gown is almost 30yrs old and was used byt both Mischa and Tuffy!

Caitlin Rose Simon-baptized.

Lets hope i dont get sued for pinching these pics from the MOO's photosite! this is the only post in almost a year that will will have pics and i mean all the pics taken by someone else!!! lol for the rest of the pics please go to the below link. Caitlin would like to thank the many family and friends who took time out of their weekend to spend with us on this special day, i know the church was miles from anywhere and the rain was pouring...but it was a nice day i have to say and it was great having so many people in our little house.Many thanks especially to the Padre, Fr.Iggy, and godparents Tuffy and Philip who made a mad dash from indonesia just for the baptism and has gone back to indon today!!!
Also to the people who helped behind the scenes with cake boxes and cake(doo)
We had many photographers and i reckon there will be more pics to follow.

It was especially nice having the remainding members of my family who live here over, today would have been my father's 72 birthday and i think he would have enjoyed himself yesterday.
My throat is a little dry and my head is a lttle heavy but i think thats from the rum........

Rest In Peace Steve.

Crikey no more.

i am too upset to say anymore.

"He dunno..."

It's the Doo's birthday this week BUT lo and behold we had a suprise birthday party for him on the 2nd of sept! Boy was he suprised. The planning gang (moo,tloml and tuff tuff) did a great job along with the assitance of the sub com members (you know who you are) i didnt really spend much time taking photographs as i my skills dont lay in the area of people+night shots as can be seen from the rather poor pics i have posted.
IT was a great night with great food and plenty to drink. In no particular order the pics you see here represent different bits of the night from Doo with his birthday cake to the guest standing and waiting for a good 10mins cause we were told the guest of hon was around the corner!
The bread pudding/cake with its thick vanilla sauce was out of this world , served just after a 7min movie montage done by the film making duo of Tuff and Mischa, they spent an agonizing time selecting pictures and laying out the format .A great evening. I am sure that tuff and mischa will post more so keep your eyes open

Back.

Its been a long time since my last post on the 7th of august, its been a busy time for me at work and at home and in all honesty i havent really had much time to take pictures. Hopefully all the changes at work are over and done with and i can get things back on track....
Finally had time to meet a couple of the guys and we went to watch "SNAKES ON A PLANE" before you say anything remember i am the guy who went to watch "EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS" and "MIMIC". I tell ya it was a laugh, we were screaming and laughing so hard all of us needed to pee real badly by the time the movie ended! I wouldnt get the dvd but watching it in all its gory glory on the big screen on a weekday afternoon was a joy to say the least. Go see it if you need to laugh.NC16 is its rating and i was more then a little suprised at the amount of "topless" footage they actually allowed! 10yrs ago that would have landed someone in jail i am sure.
Right about now your wondering what the hell does a packet of "ken ken cuttlefish" have to do with my little post, i picked this up at the snack bar before we went in the cinema and for the first time i noticed what they had printed on the top left hand corner "CHEWING GUM OF THE ORIENTALS" NOW IF THAT DIDNT MAKE YA LAUGH THERE IS NO HOPE! my personal caption would be "SMELLS LIKE DEAD FISH, TEXTURE LIKE A LEATHER BELT"( AND I AM A FAN!!)
The rest of the pictures are just random shots i felt like posting..nothing that i would want hanging on my wall but i think they each tell a little tail of their own.

A shout out to TLOML who has been picking me up from work and sending me to the office when she has time! its great getting into the car and seeing my wife, doggy and baby all waiting for me :) life is grand eh.
sidebar-its been so long since i posted i wonder if anyone actually visits anymore..
and to the genius who found all my typos, i hope you enjoyed them.
