RIP Billy Hazell 1996 - 2006

Friend
Playmate
Willing listener (even though deaf from birth)
Protector
Blue cattle dog.

Billy died after a typically male illness.
Prostate cancer.... Well atleast thats what we think it was in the end.

So mate,
to the best dog a bloke has ever had
I hope the pain is gone now
I hope youve met up with Zac and Noah and are playing with a self throwing Kong toy.
I hope there are plenty of cats to chase (theyre obviously in cat hell) and postmen to yell at.
Go walkies whenever you want my friend.
I hope you can hear now.


I miss you

Here we are in our new home!!!

So much for saving up a while before moving into another house!

We found a place in Bligh Park (near Windsor) where several of my friends either have lived or do now. So I am very familiar with the area.
We have air conditioning!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
We have a fully enclosed carport (no it ISNT a garage but close)with no less than 3 garden sheds facing into it. Its a mini workshop!
One shed has power points, lights, air extractor AND workbench. pig in shit, me.
We have 3 bedrooms, study, 2 toilets, family/sunroom, nice ,modern kitchen and big enough dining room plus a good sized lounge. Outside we get a nice covered patio area plus a gazebo! theres no neighbours to the rear (following 6 years of tradition that - we have never had rear neighbours... just lucky i guess!!!!!), the block overlooks Windsor Downs ature reserve which has lots of walking tracks winding through it. We are on town water AND sewer (yeah yeah laugh but mum n dad are on pump out in their 6 year old home which SUCKS with more than 2 people living there).

The carport has 6 fluro lights AND 6 outdoor ppower points. My Peugeot is gonna live there. Itll be nice being able to work on the car(s) without cooking in the sun, without having to run stupid extension leads everywhere n on nice level concrete. I might just get myself a creepycrawler to get under the car!
It also has more powerpoints and phone jacks than any place ive ever seen. I am currently in the kitchen (big woop) but I could as easily be out in the shed, in the bedroom, in the laundry or in the back yard (i AM on the notebook currently)annnnnnnd
being in a nice newish area the telephone exchanges and relatively new phone lines can handle noticeably higher data tranfer speeds - ive never seen more than 42kps from my connexion n today its running at 49.5! The ONLY time Ive seen faster was an old 56K modem I had which was shall we say optimistic? So I'm rather happy. I also got to pick my own telephone number which was tres cool. We are at the end of a LOOONG cul de sac so theres no through traffic. No housing commission riff raff around either unlike where we were b4 in bathurst. AND its only $30 dearer than a place in housing commission hell (aka Sth Windsor) which was fibro, had no sheds, no carport, no A/C, shite kitchen, shite bathroom, only one toilet (big deal but hey ya get used to 2 in a real hurry), was in a scum street with neighbours who looked entirely too much like the local burglary union. This place is a quantom step up from there for not much more cash.

In short Im a well happy little camper today. My best mate (here) lives about 4 minutes away in the other part of the suburb, n I actually live in the suburb I play cricket for now lol. Its all nice n level so we can go bike riding without killing ourselves too. (Im lazy i know it but i figure Im not training for la Tour De France so hills can bite my shiny metal ass to quote my favourite cartoon character - bender from Futurama).

Other news.... hmmmmzzzzz

dog is sick... enlarged prostate ' its not uncommon in elderly dogs'
elderly dogs? ELDERLY DOGS? MY dog? elderly? That fine young blue heeler is ...*counts* only 10..... ten? shit... elderly may be right eh. Poor bugger cant go wee with any comfort :/
He has lost some weight though n looks well tough n fit to go with it. Cats in the area best watch out Billy is coming to town soooooon.

Anyway, pizza at mums' tonight so I gotta jet seeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaasss
