Scue:r

So today Aidan and I kicked off our plan for a new Scue website to incorporate all of our little projects under one brand.

First up we've replaced the main page with a blog to keep everyone updated on what we're up to whilst we're working on the new site......so head over there and check it out!

Stuff

It's been a busy time over the last two weeks.....have managed to exercise a little bit more and eat a little bit better with the hope of losing a little bit of insulation I managed to pick up due to the combined effect of winter and free food at work. It's going all good.

Tanya and Kirsten are moving out of the house so we've been holding some oh so comical flatmate interviews....as expected we've had a fairly substantial quota of freaks around, all mirth and no moving in. We have however found a seemingly non stereotypical Librarian, who seems to be a bit of a laugh. Naomi moves in today.

Unbelievably our cleaner, Tinka, has been asked by the Queen to leave this fair land.....where does that leave us Queeny!?!!? So now, in addition to flatty searching, the hunt for a new cleaner also begins. She better be as good as Tinka!

Aidan and Eve finally made it back to the UK after over 3 month gallivanting in the Southern hemisphere too. There was a gigantic question mark over whether visa applications would be accepted but it's all sorted now....stoked to have them back!

And finally, congrats to Finland for winning the Eurovision 2006 song contest with this spectacular piece of work!

Barcelona with Yock!


I thought a surprise trip to Spain whilst Yock was here was most definitely in order so duly booked flights to Barcelona for 4 days. Man, what a city! So different compared to other parts of Spain I've been to and find it very easy to say I like!

We got a room with a view of Las Ramblas which is a ridiculously long street whose length is surpassed only by the amount of laughable tourist entrapment and dodgy salacious goings on. Brilliant fun both day and night.

We also steadfastly limited our tourist attraction to day ratio to 1 per, preferring instead to adhere to a strict regiment of meal upon siesta upon drink upon meal upon meal upon siesta etc etc.

Barcelona seems like it has it all.....even pudding boy cops attempting to coral upwards of 30 Nigerian sunglass / fake Louis Vuitton bag selling merchants across the harbours edge. Pure entertainment that was.
