Blatantly Political

I just read on smh.com.au that Bob Carr has quit!!! I am not normally this blatantly political in my blog, but I am THRILLED!!!! What a pitty that there doesn't seem to be anyone on either side of politics in NSW that would be good enough to be premier.

In honour of my least-favourite politician, lets suggest my top-5 (light-hearted) possible replacements...

1) The Wiggles - they get kids off their backsides and into action...
2) Terri (Georgie Parker's character in All Saints) - can keep a hospital in check...
3) Alf Stewart - makes Summer Bay a respectable place to live...
4) Rove... punctuates the laughing stock that the hospital system is thanks to Bob Carr
5) Merrick Watts... oops, that was serious...

... or add your own...

Any Volunteers?

I was at the Visitor's (Tourist Information) Centre today (to collect something from someone who works there) and there was a guy asking directions to (I hope I have this right) Pigna Barney Road. Wendy (the Tourist Info person on duty) didn't know where it was and was about to send him out to Pigna Barney Creek (?) until I politely interrupted and said that it was in the new estate where we're building. Turns out that the Council (and I assume RTA) are relying on the Real Estate Agents to be able to put a map together. Wendy nearly sent this guy 30km's out of the way - and he was here to deliver windows!

As I was leaving Wendy asked if I would like to volunteer at the Visitor's Centre. I politely declined (I have enough on my plate). This actually brings me to an interesting point (finally!). Do most Australians participate (ie volunteer) in serving the community? I would be interested to hear feedback on this, (particularly for unusual services) as I heard back in "Year of the Volunteer" (2003/2004?) that it is in rapid decline.

For all you Sean-watchers out there, he's doing well, kicking lots and making very cute "goo-goo" sounds.

It's been a while...

Literally. These days I could fill a lot of blog space with Sean's milestones, accomplishments, cute moments etc, but that's not really what makes an interesting blog (unless you are in an online parent's group, or you are the grandparents, aunties and uncles reading).

Today I went out without Sean. No, I didn't forget him, he spent the day with Ian. I actually got to shop with ease (and I bought shoes) - something I have forgotten over the last 3 months.

The other subject I could fill a blog with these days is our new house. It's up to the frame and truss stage, and the bricks have been delivered. Hopefully we will be in by Christmas (this year).
