Weekend to remember
I figured that I might aswell say how interesting my weekend was while I'm here. Alan, just to let you know if you are reading this, it's your turn to visit and if you read on you will realise that our weekends can be fun...You really don't want to miss out!!!
Anyway, last weekend a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, was the butt of all our jokes. She came home late from the States but we decided that we had to give her a right welcome home. So we began to plan our prank.
We decided that obviously this prank would have to be connected with travel. A plane perhaps...next a reminder of her journey...Clouds lets say...then everything should be retold to her through video evidence...ah ha, a video camera!!!
So, deep in the middle of the night (in pitch dark, I might add) we travelled to where she worked and proceeded to put our plan into action. Firstly, we sought out her vehicle. This took longer than expected as she had carefully hidden it, expecting the unexpected I suppose(She is tricky, you see).
Next, we applied the wings to her vehicle. This took some effort but we were persistent if nothing else. Then came the clouds but we lacked the fluffy softness of cotton wool. Instead, we opted for the ruggedness of cheap toilet paper;0) This was spread with abandon around the vehicle. Now, our masterpiece had to be named, so without further ado, we began writing witty little ditties all over it.
All this occured while many people walked past... some amused, others bewildered but none so worried as to call our local constabulary and let them know of said events. This had us quite confused at the time but it seems, shouting that you are a tv crew from a well known television station, doing a documentary tends to lead people off your trail!!!
All I can say is, I can't wait for this weekend to see what we get up to!!!

Ar ais!!!
As usual, I have found it terribly difficult to find time to add to my blog and keep it updated. Some folk I know, would question the validity of having a blog in this case. My answer as always is MYOB...
However, I have enjoyed my experience as a blogger. I feel I have learned a lot. Source code for one thing, is no longer a totally alien concept to me. Improvements have been made in the style of worksheet I might hand out on a day to day basis. The idea of giving a presentation to a room full of colleagues no longer scares "the bejesus" out of me!!! My skills were upgraded to passable. Though much work is needed, even on my handouts, I don't feel like anything technological is EVIL now.
