End of 2018

As the last day of the year passes by, I find myself in a hotel bed, lounging on my phone with my beautiful wife by my side (and the princess demanding attention). This last year has been a good year. Not too much time away from family, (most) bills taken care of and on holiday catching up with friends and family.

Next year is going to be a bit harder. I already know there will be (a lot) more time away with work, cars are coming up due for maintenance and there'll be who knows how many unexpected issues come up.

But overall, I'm putting 2018 in the "good" box. Roll on 2019!

Vacation

Whooo! Back in Perth for a bit, enjoying some time away from work and time with family. The goal was to try and be a bit more relaxed and have some down time, but so far we've still been doing a lot of running around.

No matter, onwards and upwards!

South West

Very much looking forward to catching up with family. It has been too long.

Cleanup

We did a bit of a spring clean, and (amongst other things) took about three and a half thousand dollars worth of electronics to the tip.

Well, the stuff was about that much to buy new, many moons ago. Now it isn't worth anything - hence why it went to the tip.

The bit I most didn't want to chuck out was a 24 port 10/100 switch. Had always wanted something like that for the house since the mid 90's. Never mind that most switches now are gigabit and most devices that I'd want to network are wireless.

-_- Not impressed...
