The Book of Ashes

Catch up. 9:02AM

I have seen glimpses of the future. It is a little darker than I expected. Much will happen, all as it must. There is still a lot of pain to be handed out. Not just to myself but to everybody. But it is not without purpose. Good things will come of it yet.

The site has been down since Friday now. It appears we got cut off because Damian hasn't been paying his internet bills. I have taken up a new account now but this has affected our IP address and lots needs setting up. We have internet again, after being without over the weekend but still the site is down. Soon it shall return, soon my friends...

Friday night was a big one out with old friends. It started off at Arizona and progressed into much later. My boss was there along with many work mates. We ended up splitting into two groups then heading off to play pool. I wasn't playing too well. Just had a little bit too much to help me. I am not the drunken master (see stickmen).

Next morning I was rudely awoken by a phone call at 10am in the morning. I didn't make it but almost didn't check on the messages. But I did and I discovered I had offered to help unpack a house hold that morning. So 10 mins later I was up and readying myself for that.

We spent the day unloading then playing ""lucky dip"". This is where you pick a wrapped parcel from a box and unwrap it and find somewhere to put it. My auntie has a plate and bowel for every occassion. She only had about 10 boxes for the kitchen alone. It was tiring work but interesting trying to guess what some things were used for, like the tiny grater (parmessian cheese grater). Came home to a quiet night by myself watching the rugby then going to bed earlish.

Sunday was spent under the rain with Damian, nutting out a plan of attach and creating a cover letter for the pubs. We are getting there slowly but for every step I take forward I see more that needs doing. One day I shall stop to look back at the vast distances I have travelled. One day I shall take a day of rest. Dan & I cooked up a feed then settled back to watch The Animal on DVD. Was good lite humour to relax us. The story line sucked but it was stupid enough to entertain us two.

Today the world was blanketed in snow. Well the South Island anyway. I miss the snow. Instead as a consolation prize Wellington got plenty of rain. Infact its raining now. I don't think I ventured outside except to return that DVD. Thomas came round and we continued the job hunting and his up-skilling. He is learning website programming. I did a lot of house work. You'll be happy to know I scrubbed the shower curtain Tim. Its a yearly thing and man it gets slimy. I blame it on Dan. Theres nothing slimy about me. I think he must wrap himself up in it and pretend hes a pop star or something. It pays not to imagine these kinds of things. The shower curtain is quite see through. I think thats enough catch up for now..
