Corner of solitude

Phil you are a legend mate. There are a lot of people who would like to thank you for the years we’ve worked with you, yours truly included, because it’s been a pleasure. So thank you!

I don’t think I could have gone through my apprenticeship without the help you gave to the apprentices. You always had our backs, especially when we’re pressured from the higher ups on jobs that clearly shouldn’t have been given to us. Anyway it’s too bad you are leaving, you’re probably the only one who was capable of doing their job among the staff members.

You also had good taste in music, and I’ll miss the stories you tell after going to live gigs. And our conversations on the merits of listening to your favourite band Rage Againts The Machine. Down Rodeo was my favourite RATM track, but you’ve always said out of all them that Freedom was exceptional. So much so that you regard it as the greatest song ever. So for today I’ll make it my Song of the day.

Anyways my highlight of the day will be tonight, because we are going to party, WOO!

The fellas would like to say good luck to you dude, and all the best.

Song of the day: Freedom

Highlight of the day: Partying with Phil the legend

I won the raffle ticket draw for a meat tray at work. I’ve been waiting for the draw all week, and blow me down I’ve won! WOO HOO!! The tray contains an assortment of beef and pork cutlets, suasages, and lamb chops, my favourites hmmmmmm . . .

Have you ever had a strange daydream? Whether it was at work, at school, down the street, at the beach or whiles listening to music. Not just any old daydream, but a proper dream that you would normally have when you’re asleep, only you are fully awake.

I had a very strange one today whiles at work listening to the radio. I can’t remember what was blaring out of the radio (yes I’m one of those who can’t work without a little background noise), but I think it was what triggered my daydream. It was the beat of the drums that made me think of the sound like the rumble of the earth, as if heralding the approach of a massive object. From the distance a shadow almost serpentine-like coiled it self.

And then it suddenly loomed up into the sky like a gigantic dragon. Upon it’s back was an armoured figure, lance at the ready, and about to strike. Then the daydream ended, but I couldn’t seem to remember what I was thinking about before it and what song I was listening to on the radio, all I could remember was that daydream.

Hate of the day : Getting up at four in the morning. Probably the reason why I was daydreaming or more likely I was just dozing off.

Highlight of the day: Pavlova for dessert. Luckily the RSL is just down the street from us and we can nip down for a feed. They serve a mean pavlova.
