Whose Line Is it Anyway?

At the Octagon Theatre in Western Australia for the first show of the classic British comedy.

Doing the Grocery Shop

Sarah and I reward ourselves after a morning of pool cleaning and yard work.

Women's Work

We all have jobs to do, that's how life works. My job is to book, arrange and ensure all the pesky little details of a foreign holiday are in place.

Sarah fills in the forms. Lots of them. All of them. It's not a small job.

I am very happy with the division of labour.

On Our Way to Bali

The obligatory aircraft post for Hugo, proving we didn't drive to Bali.

The Bombay Sapphire has been purchased, trashy chick-lit for poolside reading, and some nice smellies for Sarah.

Getting ready for 8 nights of R&R split between Ubud and the coast.

Updates to come.

First Lunch with Pia for 2011

At the Royal in East Perth hitting the Long Island Iced Teas on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Geeks Relaxing Poolside

How the modern teenager relaxes when you tell them to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

But forget to tell them to get out of bed or off the computer.

Happiness is cleaning the pool on a 40 degree day in Perth.

Cellobella Gets a Smartphone

Ok we are both officially sad, as we sit across the lounge on separate couches configuring our Android phones.

Feeling the Pressure

Ok, so I am not the world's most healthy individual, but when you go to the doctors you don't want the worried look.

The look I am referring to is the one where they check something 4 times and keep getting a result which suggests that you should be 'getting your affairs in order' rather than wasting time in futile attempts to fend off the inevitable.

The results in question were 4 blood pressure tests averaging 166/111 with a pulse of 66. Apparently not good.

Apparently stroke territory.

So I bought a machine (first instinct is to get another gadget) and it seems as if my machine is a bit more positive than Dr. Deaths.

So as I sit waiting for a battery of tests, I am hoping that my blood vessels are not about to explode and rather my GP's gadget needs a bit of attention.

If this is my last post, you'll know who was right.
