Yes, it has happened at last. All the other techs have done it and today it was my turn. I fell off a roof. The worst part is it was my own stupid fault!
The clients had a tiled deck and I had my ladder on it going up to the roof. When I stepped off the roof the ladder slipped on the tiles and down I went. Lucky the clients giant ceramic potplant was there to break my fall...
The good news is, nothing was broken (except the crappy 30 year old Marley spouting) and all I have is some cuts and bruises. It cost me $40 to replace the broken bit of spouting, but its better than paying to get a leg reattached.
In other news, we have had a call from the Aussie Consulate to say that the 'relationship' part of Mrs B's application has been sorted and there is just a medical check to be done now. We will have to go to Auckland for the tests, but no sweat, its gotta be done. Actually the Consulate have been great to work with. Easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to any questions we have had. Excellent.
Lovers of me and fine music will know that Weezer is the greatest band that ever lived. I have recently discovered that they have a tonne of stuff on YouTube. So I have been making my way through it. There is some very funny stuff on there in amongst their bits and pieces. Here is one that is guaranteed to make you smile. This is Patrick Wilson, the drummer from the band and his son Charlie. This kid is hilarious:
Love that giggle!
Anyway, better go, forms to fill out, panadol to take and bruised egos to nurse.
Behave.
