People get the government they deserve.

Well I am interstate for a week from tommorow, out of here at 4:30 am ... still have not packed, leaving it last minute as usual. Was mucking about with the garden until the mozzies got so bad I thought they had decided that sucking my veins dry was not enough, and why not chew me to bits as well. I was trying rather pitifully to water everything from our "no pump installed yet" gravity effect water tank, which is rather inconveniently positioned at about the same level as the garden beds... "doh". Its never simple is it.

Happily voting in our federal election was simple, I had to make an early vote cause not sure where I will be Saturday. Wife joined me cause being 8 months pregnant with a toddler, going to vote on her own could have been difficult. She is absolutely horrified that I share our political beleifs unashamadely on this blog. I am absolutely horrified at politics in general and the disgrace to humanity aka politicians haha, however it is a relevant topic right now. Anyway dont read any further if talking politics is taboo for you.

Before you vote I reccomend checking these two sites

http://www.votenuclearfree.net/ , and http://www.getup.org.au/blogs/view.php?id=590&dc=81,97135 - In breif it means that voting for a minor party is not wasting your vote, and QLD greens preference against the coalition.

Every day is a new day

Somewhere in suburbia, tonight a seed is germinating. Many seeds. A whole vegie patch full in fact... YEEHAA We did it, we planted our first vegetables. Lettuces, broccoli, tomatoes (3 types), aubergine (it even sounds round and purple HAHA) courgettes, beans, radishes the list goes on plus a whole bunch of herbs. I am excited. So excited I thought b****r it this deserves a blog.

So I created this one. My first blog ever. Firstly thanks for reading, I hope you like it, secondly dont think that its going to be regularly updated. Because besides being busy I reckon theres way too much crap on the net already. Maybe cyberspace is going to fullfill its promise and contribute to the next level of evolution, but right now I am just excited about growing vegies with my wife and little ones in our very own vegetable patch. Ahhh the simple things.



Just in case you did not realise, theres been a few months of sweat, a fair whack of coin, and many years of talking and dreaming leading up to today. I may elaborate later... or not. To start a blog my inspiration came partly from a friend Jo, and mostly from the hilarious comment thread on Kevin Rudds nose picking youtoob hahaha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ipvdBnU8F8 We vote green in case you did not guess and will hope it ends up tasteless Kevi over Sh**head Choward. If you are going to comment on this make it funny or else. Thats it for today while I see if I can upload some pics. Peace.
