Start of the new year

It's now 2013.

Been married now for nearly four months and i couldn't be happier. Don't go on the internet much and have been neglecting my sites. And that really does not bother me. Spending time with my new family is much more important than being on the computer.

Hope everyone is having a good new year. I'm still alive and kicking (not that anybody really cares) but I'm spending my precious time with my family.

Three weeks

It's getting closer! Down to the three week mark, each day is another day less.

The biggest issue right now is getting all my stuff sorted out. Thrown out lots of my stuff which has been piling up over the years. Sadly, some of the stuff I've had to throw away has been useful stuff or at least it was potentially useful - but I won't have the space or the ability to use it soon. I've also sold off a lot of stuff including nearly all my computers. I'll be downgrading to just having the laptop.

I'd rather have a bigger, more powerful computer - but lack of space is an issue. Also, I'm not going to be doing any video editing or playing high end games anytime soon, so there isn't a real need for it. It'd be a luxury item, and we will have more important things to spend the money one.

Out of the seventies

Another day down, more days yet to go. Counting down towards the wedding and we are out of the seventies and down to the sixties.

Dang, over two months left to go. Seems so far away...

Dang, just over two months left to go. So much left to organise and get ready. Not sure we'll have enough time.

In other news, the fuel pump in my car was leaking. Got it fixed and now there is no more petrol smell in my car. And my fuel economy has gone way up. Yay.

Time slows down

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to the wedding. Tania and I will be getting married in September and for both of us are finding that time has slown down!

The days are dragging out, and the wedding seems to be soooo far away. I know I can't wait for the wedding. And Tania has also said that she is getting impatient.

Well, not much else to report today. Making slow progress with cleaning up and throwing out all the old junk that I no longer need and will not be taking with me when I move in with Tania.

Damn it's cold

Had to get up early to drop mum's car off at the mechanic. Had ice on the windows which I had to scrape off before I could drive. Gah, not happy. I'm definitely not a cold weather person. No winter ski holiday for me!

Quest success!

It didn't take too long but did involve a bit of driving around. But the slow combustion wood heater has been fixed and Tania's house is warm again.

We ended up driving to Northam since it is closer to Wundowie than Perth or even Midland. We found a glazier who was able to cut and supply the heatproof glass, and a different chimney shop that was able to supply the other parts like the ceramic rope.

Overall, a good day's work.

There is always more to do. I want to go back to her place again today and help her out with a few more things but one of our cars here needs to go in to the mechanic. So I need to be near the house this afternoon when it is ready for collection.

Finding fire

I have been assigned a quest: find a replacement glass for Tania's slow combustion heater. It was broken recently so the house is cold. I was hoping to get it sorted today but I had to drop the car in at the mechanic.

I think that what I will end up doing is getting the research done today to try and track down where to get the glass and ceramic rope today, then pick it up tomorrow...

In other news, I was picked for a random swab for explosives when I went to the airport yesterday. Fairly straightforward, just stand still while they run the wand over me and stick it into their machine.

Didn't think I looked that dangerous...
