New beer, another German one – Erdinger Dark – it’s pretty good.
Also, Paycheck wants to be a really good movie, but doesn’t make it. John Woo really loves his formula, huh?
Liked the trailer for the next Spiderman movie though.

Mitsubutcho.
So, today I sold my car. It had been sitting parked out the back of the house for months without being used, and the rego had lapsed, so I got rid of it. I’d had that car (a 1989 Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon) for about 5 years, and loved it dearly.
Over 316,000km, and it still started up right away and happily purred to itself.
Well, now a guy named Floyd from Pakuranga owns it, I hope he gets as many miles out of it as I did.
I took it on road trips as far afield as The Gathering in Nelson, and even went all the way to Christchurch, as well as several trips around North Island, to the family farms, Taupo, etc, up north as far as Kerikeri — including the ill fated trip to Waimate North which permanently modified it’s mintness, yay for going too fast on gravel roads, eh?
Goodbye Mitsi, I loved you well.
Bali trip report.
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.
Monteith’s Radler
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.)
