  • I was about four hours at the loading dock. They couldn’t find some stuff, like the roller door…oh well apparently they deliver to site. Cough and LOL. I live on Russell Island so today has been a case of logistics. They phoned me up to ask if I could postpone it till another day. I was literally signing for the hire truck and of course said no.

    Getting in the barge with a departure at 4:05. And yeah got quite wet loading up, such fun.



  • Woop Woop. Tis upon us again, the blessed day that begins with the letter F. And a long weekend too…oh bugger. Oh well we’ll do the next one then.

    I have an adventuresome afternoon ahead of me. I’m picking up a shed that’s flat packed from Stratco in Ormeau at about noon. Big enough thing when built, 10 metres by 5.75. $16,000 five years interest free. I might end up living in it which wasn’t the plan when I ordered it. I initially got it for my first block that I paid for with my super. Since then I got a mortgage for a different block with stunning views across back to the mainland. So yeah everything changed and I now have a mortgage.

    Anyway then I drive back to Redland Bay in the flatbed small truck ( Budget, $200 for 24 hours which is damn decent ) Then just over an hour barge journey, then at my block a Manitou ( Telehandler ) will be lifting it off the truck. The shed weighs about 1800 kgs. Not something I’d like to handball.

    A memorable day for sure. Enjoy yours lovely people.














  • And once again the “F” day is upon us. Alas it will soon be Monday.

    Pessimistic ? Realistic…

    Due to a physio and Docs visit yesterday I got home at 6:40. I finish work at 2:00. The appointment was at 2:40. The traffic was awful, and after travelling a fair few kilometres down the “long way” to stay away from a horrible long crawling part, we were all turned back by the police. Great planning ocifer. FFS ! So then travel back to the chaos.

    This is around the Cornubia/ Carbrook area. I’ll see if there was a crash, I assume so.

    Also I have my flu shot booked *for this arvo. Hopefully I feel decent tomorrow.
