Okay, the writings from my recent trip to Bali are now all online – unfortunately I’ve run into a little problem with putting all of the video & photos online (there were too many of them, and I exceeded my disk quota) so it’s nothing but text for the moment.

Wow, so I’ve been back for over a week and I still haven’t updated with all my Bali adventures… I’m still not – just putting up a new beer.
Triumphal Return.
Back. Tired. Got about 30 handwritten pages to transcribe and 400 odd photos and videos to sort.
Had a great time.
Seeyer.
We’re off to the airport now, see you guys in a couple of weeks.
Corona Extra
Another minute, another beer… And another country – Mexico.
Wells Bombardier English Premium Bitter
Another year, another beer.
Oh, my eye is feeling much better.
Big. Red. Balls.
My eye really hurts, please let me know if you think I should go to hospital tomorrow, or if I should sit tight and hope it’s nothing.
I’m sorry if you’re squeemish, just think how horrible it is to have that thing stuck in your face.
It feels worse than it looks (well, I think so, anyway), like I’ve scratched my eyeball or something, must have been either when I was swimming or when I mowed the lawn. Now every time I move my eye or blink, it hurts, and my eye is watering so much I’ve got tears coming out my nose.

Hot BBQ Action
Had another nice BBQ with the couple tonight (David & Laura) featuring snapper (which I made even more delicious with a marinade of lemon & ginger), chorizo sausage, Limoncello di Capri (very nice), and a few bottles of Corona – oh, and of course the usual suspects of potatoes (with butter and rosemary) and a nice salad with a balsamic vinaigrette, and some sort of bread things.
Preceded by some sort of excellent corn chips and hummus / red pesto / etc, and followed by dessert featuring strawberries, cream & christmas pudding for them, and icecream for me. I’m not a fan of puddings.
After our meal we went for a nice walk through Balmoral and down to have a look at the new Satya in Sandringham. The couple walk very very slowly.
On an unrelated note, Claire has created a wonderful sunny new office in the sunroom, leaving me with a lot more space, so I’ve changed my layout, so much room, it’s wonderful, so now I’ll fill it with a bunch of crap. 🙂
(I see a new desk and perhaps another wonderful big LCD screen on the horizon.)
Happy New Year!
Welcome to the year in which I’ll be owning your ass — or at least trying some new business ideas I’ve had, the owning of your ass might take a few decades, and I promise I’ll take good care of it when it’s mine.
Also, thank you Hennessy and Cuban cigars, you’ve made my new year pretty happy so far.
w00t. I love living in the future! 🙂
(Oh, whoever is responsible for dishing out the flying cars, I think you must have misplaced mine, can you please deliver it to the new house? Thanks.)
Oh, also enjoying Jelly Belly Gourmet Jelly Beans, my favourite is Buttered Popcorn (second place goes to Coconut Macaroon (2 x Coconut + 1 x Very Cherry)) — no ear wax for me!
In which I break my neck.
For today’s trick we’ll be balancing a 13-year-old boy on my head.
After travelling around the city for much of the day buying plants and construction materials we found ourselves in Australia (or was it Albany) and in the vicinity of a lovely swimming pool, perfect, we though, and promptly jumped in.
Boys will be boys, and before long we were playing a game of break-Morgan’s-neck, a good game, unless you’re the Morgan in question.
Forgive the image quality, photo was taken with yet a different digital camera – this one in Claire’s phone.
