When almost four becomes four

Hello Blog readers - I'm back did you miss me????

It’s my nephew’s birthday today. He is officially four years old today. So in six months time he will be known as almost five. *lol*

We skyped this morning, and sung him happy birthday. I asked him
“How old are you today?”
He stuck his chest out and proudly stated “I’m four Sal”

If you could sum up happiness in a photograph then the image below would be it. A remote control car from ‘Sal’ (I’m the best aunt in the world right now!) He thanked me constantly for his ‘remotie car’ (That’s what he calls it as it comes with a ‘remotie control!!!) He’s mad on anything with a remote controller – this boy is going to be a gamer I can already see it!

As you know I’ve been away for a few days interstate. I’ll do a Brisbane (Brisvegas) update in tomorrow’s blog.

Until then, here is a pic of four with his remotie car! (I didn't quite realise it would be 'that' big from the images from the online shop I purchased it from. It is as my brother stated 'massive')




Like I said, this is happiness summed up in one photograph.

That’s all I’ve got

Can happiness come in a can?

The new coke cans for summer have new logos on them - a mixture of four different themes one is a surfboard, the other some cricket stumps, some other design I can't remember and one with the word 'Happiness' written on the side. Can happiness come in a can? I opened my can of happy coke up and took a sip. Sure it made me feel refreshed, it quenched my thirst. But did it make me happy? I don't really know to be honest. I'm not sure I was sad before I consumed some of the beverage. Perhaps they should change the slogan from Happiness, to Feel Refreshed I'm also wondering how many unhappy people have sent their empty can of 'happiness' coke back to the factory complaining there wasn't enough happiness in the can for them (Come on you have to admit there would be ONE person out there who would do there!)

The countdown is on for me to head out to my brothers for x-mas and new years which means two weeks without my dog, and without any access to the internet - so two weeks without a blog update. Two weeks of NO SPOILERS for the final David Tennant Doctor who. Two weeks of remembering a time when there was no internet and people spoke on the phone or wrote letters! Due to my two week Blog absence I'm going to 'try' and put in an entry a day until I leave at 6am on Wednesday morning.

I've purchased, wrapped, labelled and packed the gifts that I need to take out into a box that will hopefully fit into my parents car. We decided it was cheaper to go in one car than to take two, (Better for the environment also!) As I'm no taking my dog with me this time (He's getting too old for 10hr drives) He's staying at my parents place with my Aunt who will be house sitting for them for the two weeks while they are away (Me included of course). My Aunt is a dog person (i.e she has a dog, and is a good dog owner so I know my dog will be in excellent hands) I'm going to miss him though as I'm very attached to to my dog. I shudder when I think what I'll do when his time is up. (Which I hope isn't for a while yet)


With the countdown on to Christmas those readers of this blog who do x-mas I hope it's running as smoothly as it can for you. For those who don't, enjoy the sales on the 26th!

That's all I've got.
