Killing in the name of ...

Sunday arvo was Rumpus Room, listening to some of the new tracks that 4zzz is grooving to (esp. enjoyed 'The cape' by Martha Tilson), and so I kicked back with Mercury Draught, enjoyed the sounds. Then went to George's for some Sunday arvo chips to enjoy, which was really nice, but I am glad that I am not doing that regularly. They had grey Sashimi in there ...
The week was fantastic, with a smile in the voice, and people responding to it by being paitent whilst I handled/resolved their enquiries. In fact, by the end of the week, I was actually feeling that I could actually understand, if not fully answer, PAYG enquiries! Which helped ... The most amusing clients are those that feel that the PAYGI system is necessarily draconian, as opposed to the ATO propaganda that portrays the system as one which is designed to assist the taxpayer ... Interesting how interpretation is so variable in such matters ...
Finally the ATO ITR refund landed :o and I promptly spent it on things, like reducing credit card debt, but I did spend some on my friends, although all were strangely reluctant to take it! Tried to encourage JimE to try a different drink, and he got cranky at me, so bought him an iTunes voucher instead! Anyway, also bought him a USB stik to put movies, etc. on so as to allow easier transfer of data, and put the files of Hunter playing with my camera - almost 'I shot myself' maybe? lol
Well, there was RiverFire-lots of loud noises, bright lights, people, and amazing entertainment. Am sure that it was the company that made it? Drink some Tarrango, a rather nice Beaujolais, but the highlight was a rather nice Pinot Noir, from the Bellarine, no less. So many people, slipped off bike, broke the rear derailleur, which meant that the rear wheel kept slipping out, and then I made her ride home, freewheeling down the hill. Imagine if the wheel had slipped out then?
