On Sunday night i was outside having a smoke when i heard someone say hello to me, it turned out to be the ex boyfriend of the daughter who lives next door, he was taking down some blankets that have been in the neighbours backyard.
I started talking to him for a few minutes telling him how the dog Milo had gone and him saying that he cried that the dog had gone, and he wished that Milo was still there, mind you this is the first time ive seen him since last year.
Anyhow i saw the neighbour and said how i had seen the ex boyfriend and it seems that he had taken the blankets to have sex with a girl who was waiting in the park next to my house.
It seems that a neighbour down the road saw him taking the blankets and was wondering what he was doing and saw him with the girl and then seeing them starting to have sex, ewwwww.
This park mind you has people walking through it now and then as it is a path that joins up with more pathways to get through a few streets, imagine walking along there and seeing people having sex as your walking home.

The Time Travellers Wife
I finished a few days ago a book called The Time Travellers Wife, i read alot but i don't usually talk to much about books Ive read unless i really like them, and well i really liked this book, to me it seemed it had a bit of everything in it.
The book is about two people Henry DeTamble and Clare Abshire.
After i searched on the net i found out that this books has been made into a movie, I'm not to sure when it will be out, but i wonder if they can do the book any justice.
Henry and Clare first meet when Henry is 36 and Clare is 6
Henry is a time traveller although its not by choice. A genetic mutation causes him to spontaneously travel through time, disappearing from view, him leaving behind his clothes and possessions, then arriving naked in another time and another place. To survive Henry often has to turn to petty crime to feed and clothe himself when he travels, and must run from people, thugs, or the police, which is how he meets Clare for the first time, in a field behind Clare's house, throughout her younger years, Clare meets him there and falls in love with him.
Clare is a child and then a teenager with their secret rendezvous throughout the years in the meadow. Henry first visited her at an older age, so he knew the dates that the earlier versions of himself would visit the older versions of Clare.
In those early days of her life, Henry knew much about her future, but declined to tell it to her anything so things would go as they are supposed too, he does not want to change the future in any way.
Once Clare became an adult, she knew she had to wait to meet Henry in real time, and that he would be her lover. When they did finally meet, Henry in the present was a younger man, who had not yet traveled to the meadow to meet Clare. At this point, she knew parts of his future that he did not.
Time travelling does have some advantages though. Henry's mother died in a car accident when he was a small boy. He often goes back in time and gets to see her, although all he can do is watch from a distance.
The book is a heartfelt love story of two people who must live with this curse as part of their lives.

As Clare says in part of the book
Our life together in this too-small apartment is
punctuated by Henry's small absences. Sometimes he disappears unobtrusively; I
might be walking from the kitchen into the hall and find a pile of clothing on
the floor. I might get out of bed in the morning and find the shower running and
no one in it. Sometimes it's frightening

Silly things
As most people know Twitter has been around for awhile, but why is it now that it has become popular??
The reason im writing about this is that one of my nephews S came to my place the other day and asked me if i had started using twitter, i sorta giggles and told him how twitter has been around for awhile now and that i had, had the program for awhile.
I know this little blog is not that interesting, but it has been sitting on my mind, and well i must go now as i have to go feed a cat

Some Australian Trivia
I like Trivia and knowing weird things that others dont know, so i thought i would share some Australian Trivia with you
.
.
The first Australian Aboriginal word in the English language was "kangaroo" and was used by Captain James Cook. The original spelling was "kanguroo
The first person to actually sustain controlled, powered flight was not one of the Wright brothers; It was Richard Pearse of New Zealand a few months before in a more advanced flying machine of his own design & construction. On 31-3-1902 he flew about 350 yards, and on 11-5-1903 flew over 1,000 yards, out of ground effect & including several turns.
The common refrigerator's system of cooling was invented in Australia, in the 1850's, by James Harrison. By 1857 his machine was making up to 3 tonnes of ice a day!
The original fifty cent piece in Australian decimal currency had around $2.00 worth of silver in it before it was replaced with a less expensive twelve sided coin.
The first Europeans to discover Australia were the Dutch. The first documented evidence is that in March 1606, the Dutch ship Duyfken, captained by Willem Janz, landed in far north Queensland, but left very quickly when one of the sailors was speared by an Aborigine. The next visit was in 1616, by Dirck Hartog, who landed in Western Australia. He nailed a pewter plate to a tree, which is now in a museum in Holland. Captain Hartog named the new country "Eendrachtsland", which fortunately we don't use these days.
The area of Australia that is covered by snow in winter is larger than the area of Switzerland.
A kangaroo's tail does not touch the ground when it is hopping at speed. The animal only uses the tail to balance its jumping efforts, and to rear upon when stopped.
Aspro is a very popular pain reliever used all around the world, and it was developed in Australia by George Nicholas, in 1917.
The first 'secret ballot' system for parliament in the world was introduced in the Legislative Council of Victoria, Australia, on 27-8-1856. The rest of the world took another few decades.

My previously annoying neighbours
What a difference a few months make...
People who had read my blog previously may have read about some annoying neighbours i had, telling me i had to park my car in a certain spot and stuff like that.
Well it seems that the girl and guy who where living below me have broken up.
A couple of weeks ago i heard the two of them arguing pretty badly, she screaming at him to get away from her car and hearing noises like he was doing something to the car, i heard her drive away after she was screaming with fright with her coming back around 5 minutes later to hear more arguing from the two of them
Today i went and visited one of my neighbours who also heard the fight and came over to break up the fight as things where getting a bit out of hand he said.
It seems what had happened was that she would do housework and stuff and he would do nothing, she would go away for a few days to come back to the house dirty.
Also she heard him talking to another girl on the phone confronting him about it, he had found himself another girlfriend and didn't want to be with her, but it seems he thought it was ok for her to still look after him.
So anyhow i now have a quiet neighbourhood again, as he is living with either his sister or his new girlfriend and his old girlfriend has moved out.

What to write, what to write
Im sure there are some things i could write about, but i really cant think of any...
Hmm lets see what have i been doing
Well i edited and created a newsletter for the area i live in, the newsletter has been going for awhile and they wanted to change the look, so i designed a new look for it, it has a new front cover has an index, everything to do with certain things are on the same pages; eg childrens activities.....
At the moment i am making a flyer to do with a birthday, i sit and make a few to try to get my creative juices working properly and also to give the person i am making them for a choice of what it could look like.
They are strange people though, the one i would choose as it looks more creative and well i think better she dosent like, she likes the plain boring one, go figure
So that people is what i have been doing lately, i love when i can create stuff, well most of the times, doing the newsletter can be a pain in the butt as i have to read what people send me and cut loads out for it to fit and make it not to wordy.....
