My future car
I’m not that into cars. Hey, I’m on my second Nissan Primera. But no-one with a passing interest in the really fucking wicked couldn’t not fall in lust with the Holden GTR-X concept. Behold.

My garden is going to kick your garden’s arse
So this year, I’m growing Tomatoes for the first time ever.
My garden consists of six Tomato plants (Tommy Toe and Dynamo), one bucket of Potatoes, and a big-arse Rosemary plant so far. They were my first ever father’s day gifts (awww!).
I really want to get a big-arse Basil plant and a big-arse Coriander going too. I’m thinking of trying beans. I may have to get a watering system going for when we’re @ the beach.
Everything seems to be thriving so far, they’re out on the back porch, getting loads of afternoon sun.

Grammar tagging

The grammar correction unit strikes again. I was tempted to add four or five exclaimation marks just to mess with them, but walked away.

Lad’s weekend
Last weekend, 6 old friends drove to a remote Coromandel bach for a weekend of hard-drinking, bullshit-talking good times only possible when partners stay at home (no offence!).
It was a brilliant, save the PS2 plug non-compatibility SNAFU. The best bits were:
– The fridge:
– Unashamed, unapologetic and unmuffled farting was definitely on the menu. Mixed blessing, this one, in fairness
– Meat and potatoes was the order of the day, cuisine wise. I did cop a load of flack of buying Rosemary at the supermarket, though
– Winning the golf was nice – Coromandel golf course is a neat little track, and they didn’t mind us playing as a six
– The sunset on Saturday:
– Especially heartwarming to see the chaps quickly revert to a pack mentality once we started playing Mexican, descending like wild dogs on anyone DARING to drink with the wrong hand, use first names, or caught making false accusations (if you’re my Facebook friend you can see all the action). I didn’t even get my usual ‘dice hate me’ hammering, and all liquids enjoyed stayed on board. That shit’s beautiful
Massive thanks all around, esp the providers of said bach. Looking forward to next year alright.

Unplugged in Opito Bay
I went off the grid for a few days with my girl. As I left the office on Friday, I wrestled with my conscience – does the laptop come or stay? With my T3G card, I get reasonable connection pretty much anywhere – but that’s not really a holiday is it? It wound up staying.
So, apart from a couple moments of PDA email weakness, I was unplugged. And it was great. Spent quality time. Got loads of reading done. Ate well.
Learnings? NEVER check work email while you’re away, it’ll only stress you out – there’s not much you can do about it, is there? And what about returning to 500+ unread RSS items? Time for a good old trim, methinks, going through that seems too much like work.
