My Well of a Time

The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic at work and if you haven't noticed by now, work is a huge part of my life. The weekend was different. It was very relaxed. Domi and I caught up with my parents Friday night to talk trip plans and organize things for the wedding. We went all out and had toasted sandwiches and it was just nice. The weekend was really family based actually and Saturday night we went out to Magill to see Domi's mum and her new boyfriend. Its really great that she has finally found someone and they are really good together.

The rest of the weekend was, well, I'm not going to lie, spent playing video games with Domi. It was good though and I think we both needed it.

This week again has been full on already. At the moment I'm working on a job putting stormwater pipes and sumps in for a new building at the Morphetteville race course. I have been there for a bit over a week now and it has rained every day. Now rain after finishing would be no dramas but while you are trying to connect down pipes and different old connections makes life a pain in the ass. The pipes we are putting in are 450mm so when it rains there is a lot of water... Everywhere. It hasn't been too bad a job really and I am working for another company so I turn up in the morning and if it has all turned to shit over night I just dig it all out again and away we go. One surprise is what we have found in the ground. We have found all the usual things like gas pipes, water pipes, fire services, fibre optic cables and power cables. We even found some odd things like old rubbish and horse shoes but I was pretty blown away when we found an old well!?! Definitely what I was expecting to scratch my excavator bucket over.

Bye now.

My Addiction

I have recently realized that I have a huge addiction to coffee and all things caffeine. Now I know I'm not exactly standing in front of a group of people saying "Hi, my name is Phil, and I listen to hair metal and am a Meth addict" but hey give me some credit for outing it. Now I have always loved a coffee, especially in the morning but lately I think I have taken it a bit to far with energy drinks. I seemed to get sucked in at the service station or shop and buy two instead of one due to the cheap price but always end up drinking both instead of just the one. I guess its a better addiction than some but I am still weary. I had the thought about participating in dry July but instead of not drinking alcohol I thought of giving up coffee/caffeine but to be honest I don't know if I could. The giving up alcohol would be a piece of cake. I don't really drink that much. Sometimes on the weekend but hardly during the week at all so I think I will just forget I ever thought about the caffeine thing and do that.

Just a Thought

Firstly...
I Love being so in love with you and I love that cheeky smile you gave me.
I Love that after really meeting him I know what you see and that he is right for you.
I Love that you changed your whole life for someone and now it has made you happier than I have ever seen you.
I Love that today you did but Hate that tomorrow you wont.
I HATE that when you walked through our door I could see the depression on your face and I am so sorry that your life isn't going to plan.
I hate that we haven't seen each other in a while but Love that there are going to be so many stories at dinner tomorrow night.
I LOVE that you are in a new relationship with our old friend and I Love that smile you have on your face.
I Love that a simple question has reminded us how long we have been friends.
I do Love your friendship and I promise we will be over to see you soon.

I Love that one day, one of you, some of you, might actually read this.

My Wordless Monday

My Lemon Weekend

This weekend has been bliss. I was destroyed from the week of work and fell asleep early Friday night after having an absolutely amazing roast dinner that Domi cooked. After working a lot of weekends lately having two days off is awesome. It feels like a little holiday.

Saturday was spent doing some intense gardening. I joke, I joke. There is nothing intense about gardening but you just don't see those to words together very often. I pruned and weeded the gardens and it was just good. It was nice to be able to just do random things I wanted to do outside with out having to fly around and do it all quickly like a normally do. Our lemon tree has been fruting like a crazy tree so I decided to start picking late Saturday afternoon. After filling two giant bags I got sick of it and stopped. I probably only picked half the lemons and when I weighed the bags there was 23 KGS of lemons in total. That's a shit load of citrus mate. So now we have to work out what to do with all these lemons.

Today was another lazy day really. Domi and I went down to Marion shopping centre to wizz around and get some clothes. I really do hate shopping so I was in and out of there. Got a couple new shirts, a couple of jackets and things like that in preparation for our trip to the USA next year. It will be weird leaving boiling hot Australia with a suitcase full of jackets and jumpers.

I think this week will be a bit of a catch up week. Due to working a lot and the wheather being average Domi and I haven't seen a lot of our friends so I think this week we will try and see some people we haven't seen in a while. Its a hard time of year with the days being so short. Its hard to do anything when its dark at 6pm. I do like the cold but I am starting to get sick of winter. Bring on the warmer months and the longer days mother nature.



Byes

My New Beat

Well its been a slow couple of weeks now. A lot of tiring work and not a lot of anything else. To get by I have found some awesome new tunes. Here they are so check them out.

This is the new song by Boy and Bear, Its called Feeding Line. It has a very Mumford and Sons sound to it. A great song!

Something a little different in this one. Its Diafrix with Simple Man. Its just a really catchy tune.

Last but definitely not least is Close Your Eyes with Song For The Broken. Some thing a bit heavier and a bit more up beat to end on. Get on it!

Got a pretty busy weekend coming up. Emma and Brad are up for dinner tomorrow night before heading out to see the Lost Show play their last gig as a six piece band. Not to sure about Saturday day or night but since I'm not working I think I might just do nothing for a bit. Should be good. Hit me up if you are in Adelaide town! Byes

My Headspace

Lately I have had a lot on my mind. Now when I say that I don't mean a lot of things are troubling me or anything like that, I have just been busy. I have been thinking about a million and one things. Whether it be things to do with work or things to do with life or things to do with our trip. I have just been thinking and thinking and thinking and to be honest my brain isn't working. I think I need this holiday. To bad its still 8 months away.

The last week was a pretty boring one. It really has started to be wintery outside and as always when the weather turns to shit it makes you want to do less and less. Plus after working in rain, wind and cold all day the last thing you want to do is have a shower, get all warm and then go back out in it again. So last week was a pretty quiet one. We were meant to go and see The Lost Show play Saturday night in town but I had a really early start and a half day of work turned into a really tough full day and after the week I had I just couldn't drag my self out of the house and was in bed asleep by 9PM. Its an exciting life, I know.

Apart from work madness its been all go on our trip planning front. Domi and I have been planning our wedding and honeymoon for a while now but it is really coming along. We have booked our flights to, and accommodation in New York, DC, Philadelphia and LA and have pretty much worked out what we are going to do in each city. We still have a bit to do for San Fransisco and Las Vegas but most of our time there will be taken up by friends, family and the wedding. If you have been to any of these cities, please please tell me what is a must see and what isn't worth it because we really want to get the most out of our trip.

Well that's it. Bye now.

My Question Time, Take Two

Well I don't know what happened but Google and Blogger seemed to have died over night. All the comments have disappeared so I'm really sorry to those people who left comments and questions and to those of you who couldn't comment. Lets try it again though. Any questions or anything you want to say? Do it.

My Question Time

Alright this is a bit of a long shot but I'm going to go ahead with it. Lately I have noticed a lot of new readers on here and I have to say that it is awesome. I'm so happy people read this, and I'm surprised people come back or choose to follow. I have to say though I write on here for me and not to please anyone else. This is important to me because one day I would love to get all these ramblings made into a book that almost details my younger years in a way. Anyway I'm rambling more than I should.

Todays post is a question post. I would love it if anyone and everyone asked me a question. If you know me it can be something to do with our lives or on the other hand if you don't know me it can be something as boring as my favourite soft drink. But don't ask that because its cherry cola and that is a chain email question from the myspace days. So thats it really. The best question will win an awesome prize.
(Prize may not be awesome or real, depending on your interpretation of prize, awesome or real)  

Anyway ask away people!
