Fantastic Contraptions Challenge

Simon — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:18:55 +0000

Been killing time playing Fantastic Contraptions today.

It’s a brilliant web based game that will get you hooked, make time disappear and make you say swear words you never knew you knew.

I designed my own level today and propose a challenge. The official www.ourlifedownunder.net Fantastic Contraptions Competition.

You can find the level here.

If more than one person beats the level Val will be judging the winner (she is a secret wizz at this game).

UPDATE – Just realized you need to pay $5 to be able to play levels someone else has made. So I won’t be counting on too many takers on this.

Sunday BBQ

Simon — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 10:43:02 +0000

We had a BBQ today on the estate where we live. There is a BBQ area and a pool, tennis courts too. So we booked it out for 4 hours and had some friends over. We forgot the camera, but I took a couple of pictures of a hungry baby with my phone.

Feeding A Messy Baby

Stuffing her face and watching the Antiques Roadshow. That’s how this baby rolls

Good Hospital News

Simon — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 06:05:06 +0000

We got a letter today saying that we have been accepted to the Mater Mothers Hospital in Brisbane.

I has a very good reputation, a lot better than the other two options we had. It’s apparently hard to get into (especially at this late stage), people will request to go there very early on in their pregnancy normally. So we feel pretty lucky and relieved.

Val has her first appointmant there on the 12th of September.

Just off to pickup Edel and Breda-Ann, as they are moving in with us tonight.
