What a week

What a great week. It started with Holden winning in Darwin and the highlight for me is Queensland winning their 4th consecutive State of Origin series on Wednesday night in Sydney. How good was that! Now all we need is for the Maroons to whitewash the Blues and win this years series 3 nil when they next play up in Queensland in 3 weeks time. What a pity you got to wait a whole year for Origin footy to come around.

Then I decided to add some plants - real live plants that is - to my tropical aquarium on Thursday. So what you say. Well the problem is I have 2 Silver Dollars swimming around in there and they love to nibble on live plants. Anyway so far it has been worth it. They are nibbling on two of them but so far have left one of them alone. Just maybe I will get away with removing the artificial plants and stocking up on some more live plants. Live plants really bring an aquarium to life - and the fish love swimming amongst them, hiding in them, and eating them too. With the Silver Dollars you just got to be tolerant of them eating the plants and restocking as needed. One day I will have to place some photos of it on here.

Also this week saw my son heading off on his 3 day school camp to Canberra. Something he has been looking forward to. He got to go to the snow as well as plenty of other attractions to visit. Unfortunately he came back home sick after picking up the flu from a room mate. He was so sick he had to miss his soccer game on Saturday. Just for the record they won again, 1 Nil. They are undefeated with 7 wins and 1 draw so far. Keep going boys, you are all playing really well.

And I also made some invitations for my daughter's birthday party coming up in July. The invitations have turned out brilliant if I do say so myself. They look real professional - maybe I have found my calling. Anyone looking for someone to design and make your party, wedding etc invitations? You just never know hey?

And we had the damage to my wife's car fixed and the car detailed. It really brought the paintwork back to where it should be. Some clown had run into the back of it causing damage to the rear bumper. I found a guy (Craig from Duco Drs) that came out to your home to fix it. He fixed the scratches and creases and resprayed it so it's just like new again. All done in a few hours at home rather than losing the car in the panel shop for several days. It worked out real well. And the wife is happy again now that her pride and joy is back to its' best.

And then we had a lovely night out with the parents of my sons soccer team. The food was great, the company great, but our luck on the pokies not so great. Oh well maybe next time.

Well that was most of the week for me. A week where we lost both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Anyway, as my kids say: "Later..."
