Roof Dog

LOL Cats have Ceiling cat. Well I've just spotted Roof Dog.

He Watcheth over us and sees all.

First Time Ever

So here is proof First ever trip to the Ballet.

Ballets not bad. Great as an art form and is an amazingly athletic display. The dancers are definitely to be admired, but to tell a story I prefer a musical or a play. They are just better mediums for story telling.

Where we're at now

Min and I have been back in the country for a while now.  Min has been in hard training and just over 2 weeks ago ran in her first ever Half Marathon.  It was at the Townsville Running Festival held by the local club the Townsville Road Runners.  It was a hard slog for her but she made the 21.1 km in under 2 hours.

For me though my weeks and especially weekends have been all about my house. I have been doing paint prep, gardening, taking off gutters, and  stripping floors nearly every spare moment.  One good thing though is that I am finally getting very close to having the place finished.  Another 3 or 4 weeks and I should have the first of two apartments ready then another couple of weeks and I will have both places finished.  Not long now!!  Just paint both places then sand the floors in one and replace the fans.

Once the house is finished I will have time to get back to my own training and prepare for the OC1 races that are coming up later in the year. I actually hope to start running as well, ot long distances mind just 4-5km once or twice a week. With paddling and cycling I should start to see a definite improvement in my fitness.

All of that though is a while off and we will have to see how the house goes.  For tonight though I'm off to see the The Imperial Russian Ballet Company preform the Nutcracker suite.  I'm quite looking forward to it I've never been to the Ballet will be interesting to see.

Please read before you go to vote

People should know who they are voting for and what those people stand for. Over the last few elections federal politics has definitely declined. Labour hasn't had a strong leader running on strong policies since Keating. The Liberals on the other hand had a strong leader more recently in John Howard. Now I didn't agree with many of Howard's Policies (Especially Work Choices and Lack of Climate Change action) but Policy was front and centre in his election campaign.

If Julia Gillard would put up a strong central Policy on say Climate change or some other area that the Labour party think needs improving in Australia's current system I think they would be further ahead in the polls. All of this is a bit beside the point that I am trying to make though. I want people to know what a bunch of lunatics they would be voting for if they vote for the Liberal party. Please read the direct and referenced quotes on this website and see if Tony Abbott is the type of man that you would want in charge of a country. Remember his policies will affect people you.

Also please be aware that Liberal Preference are being directed towards the Family First Party. If the Liberals are a bunch of right wing lunatics then the Family First party are foaming at the mouth crazy! Here is an example of the Family First party trying to Advance Australia as a Modern Country.His contribution to the passing of Australia’s first paid parental leave scheme in June was to VOTE AGAINST IT BECAUSE:

“Drug addicts and welfare cheats can go out there and get themselves pregnant and then after 20 weeks have an abortion and still pocket the government’s cash,” Senator Fielding told the Senate.

Then also there is the belief that the world is only 10,000 years old and we all descended from 2 individuals.

Please take the rather extreme views of these peopl in to account when voting in the election on the 24th.
