Further to my previous post...

Goodness, people actually left comments on my last post, giving me the impetus to get my fingers into gear and maybe get some content happening, as indeed I think I promised a few weeks ago. Not that that makes it official or anything, it's in writing, yeah, but it's on the internet so I can easily go back and change it or make it look as though it never existed, and anyone who read it in the first place and went back to look for it would start to doubt that they had read it here when they read so much stuff on the internet and save so little of it that it would be impossible to prove that I ever had said it (unless you had some really big caching thing going on, but why would you bother really, it was only a passing comment on my part and not really worth anyone's while in chasing it up or holding me to it). So... I might get back to a few items I listed in my last post (in no particular order). Renovations are almost done. I love my new shower: no screen, no curtain, it's just behind a wall separating it from the rest of the bathroom. The basin and vanity are on the other side of the wall. I may put photos up at some point. Let me know if you really can't live without seeing them and that may speed things along (till then, consider it as just another potentially empty promise... ah, I'm so capricious). We recently bought some new cutlery. The set we had was short a few forks and spoons and it seemed that when we wanted to make a cup of tea, we were always having to get teaspoons from the dishwasher, rinse them, then stir, squeeze bag, add sugar to taste, stir again (it's not a set routine, just illustrating there's a process involved). But when we bought the new cutlery, we bought not just one but two sets, meaning in one fell swoop we tripled our teaspoon inventory. I know it's only a little thing but y'know what they say about the little things (and if you don't, click here). Well, it's just such a great feeling not having to worry about there being enough teaspoons in the drawer. It's bliss just to be able to reach in, without necessarily even looking, grab a spoon and start stirring/sqeezing/adding sugar to your beverage without having your whole flow interrupted by having to go through the inconvenience of actually washing one every time you want to soothe your nerves with a cup of Tetley. Aaaaaah... I've been involved in the shooting of some footage at the new Adelaide airport terminal. I guess I've been the producer, as I'm representing the client so have to be there to make sure it all goes nicely as it's my company signing the cheques. But wow, I love the new terminal. I mean I love it because it's all so new and shiny but it's just so big and airporty. I took some nice photos there the other night, when it was almost deserted. I promise I'll post one of them soon (yeah... right). The thing with the car park though is that it's kind of cramped. I was there in the morning last week when we were looking for locations and the car park was chock full near the entrance, so I stupidly drove around looking for a place in the busiest part of it. I was also in one of work's cars, which are bigger than my sporty but miniature 4WD. So I don't know if it was just that I was in a big car, or the place was crowded but there really didn't seem to be a lot of room to do simple things like turn into a parking space, turn a corner, or even drive past a car coming the other way, without narrowly avoiding a bingle (been trying to work that word into a post for months). At one point, I was turning a corner to come down the next lane of non-empty spaces and there was a lady turning the same corner in the opposite direction. We both had our windows down and had to do some slow, meticulous driving to get past each other without bingling (!!) and I asked her "Is this supposed to be one-way?" and she said something back to me that I don't recall now. My point being, not much room to move in the car park. And I really don't think it would have put the planes out too much to have built the whole thing 3 metres to the south. I still have to get my sunglasses fixed. Might go and do that now, actually.
