DAY ONE
It sounded like a good idea. After a stressful week at work, which saw more problems with my laptop, my project canceled and further difficulties with my builder, the best thing to do would be to knock off early on friday and head to the hills! But after a rather difficult start to the day, I ended up leaving Wollongong around 4pm. 45 minutes later I was talking to a police office and explaining to him that it was the angle of the sun that affected my braking distance and not the fact that I had been drinking and driving! Yes, I finally had another car accident. This was the first since "The Big One" back in 1989!! So I cant complain, and thanks to the 200KG of steel bolted to the front end of my car, I only broke a couple of headlight protectors and a number plate, on my car! In front of me was a rather mangled Ford Telstar and a Suzuki swift with a swinging bumper!

Council Approved!! |
|
Finally, after many many weeks, and several modifications later, the council have finally agreed that my new house meets their stringent guidlines!! But of course, any approval needs its caveats, and they have insisted on an additional survey be made of the level of the garage floor to make sure that it does not deviate from the approved plans. And of course, that means a little more money!
Last thing to do was to provide the builder with a letter from the bank saying the money is available for the construction phase. But of course, since there has been so many additions, the money approved was $20,000 less than the builder is asking! So I pulled out the lucky nortel share statement to provide evidence of the remaining funds. Now all I have to do is work a little harder to get the share price up higher!

Camping In The Mountains |
August 27, 2004 |
I Finally got away for the weekend, very important to test out the new camera! I managed to see the Walls, the bush, and have a car accident! It was pretty cold with a thick frost on the first night, but beautiful blue skies during the day made up for that.

Camera Time |
August 17, 2004 |
thats right i finally managed to wait long enough that canon released a new digital SLR. which of course means run out deals on the old Digital Rebel 300D. So now I am the proud owner of a new D-SLR camera! so i guess this should mean better pictures, and more of them....we'll just have to see if that is the case.
