Its not nearly as bad as all that.  In fact its a good thing.  Melissa's first solo show outside of the university system opened last night at Metalab in Sydney, and was very successful.  She sold some pieces, chatted with lots of people, and we had some fun.  The proprietors of Metalab are very welcoming and friendly and we all went out for Vietnamese food afterwards which I thought was a nice touch.

Melissa and I just got back from our holiday in Tasmania. We spent 5 nights in Cradle Mountain, 2 in Launceston, and traveled on the Spirit of Tasmania. As long as you don’t mind loosing a night, the Spirit of Tasmania is not a bad way of travelling. Below are some blurry iphonecam shots from the trip Tasmania

Melissa and I got engaged at 1:30 am on Christmas eve! Hooray.

Well, we've done it now....... we're married. Melissa and I would just like to say thankyou to all of the people that made yesterday such a special day. We're off on our honeymoon now, but we'll post photos when we get back. If anyone has taken their own shots, please feel free to email them to me, or send a flickr link. We'll collate them all here. We loves you guys!

Yesterday (Thursday the 24th) was my birthday. We went out for a curry dinner with some mates, which was very nice. It also happened to be the date of my Brother's new band's first performance at the Rosemount Hotel here in Perth. The band is called "Dobson and Fitch". Its a two piece band, with Mark on Guitar and his mate on drums. The guitar gets fed through a laptop to give it all sorts of harmonic distortion, which gives the sound a much broader feel.

My nephew recently did a bit where he was telling his classmates about Otto von Bizmark. Isn't he cute?

You know you are all grown up when your father starts borrowing your suit to wear to a wedding. He's the one in the darker suit. Still, he doesn't look too bad in it.

It was a family weekend this weekend, with a wedding, an engagement party, and a dinner party for Mothers day. The only photographic evidence I have is of the wedding, so here it is

A Card for Gordon's Birthday

We went to a cake gig last night. It was fabo! First we went to the newly refurbished and re-opened Vivace restaraunt for some fine dining. Kirsten had volunteered to drive us to the gig, then she was going to go out clubbing. By the time we got there, we had conviced her to pay for a ticket at the door and come in. A good thing too.
