Random bits of Info






So today I have decided on a mish mash of information for you to enjoy. I am first going to take a suggestion from one of my followers, and give you a brief profile of the people I am working for. I hope this will help you better relate to my stories. So...
Peter (Dad): Peter is a early thirties engineer. He works for Philips medical electronics. He holds a pretty high postition in the company, but often can work from home for parts of the day. He is tall (about 6'2" ish) semi geeky looking with a New Zealand accent. He is an engineer, but has has been a paramedic and helicopter pilot. He is very smart, and has bits of peculiar knowledge about a variety of subjects. He is much like my father in the way that he really enjoys jimmy rigging random contraptions together (although always useful) for a variety of purposes. Peter interested in having the children absorb as much information as they can at this age, and be successful in life.

Charli (Mom): Is a about to be thirty registered nurse working in a seniors care home as the care manager. She is average height and really skinny, with short aburnish hair. She too is from New Zealand, and therefore speaks with a New Zealand accent. She is easy to get along with and super down to earth. Charli appears to want the children to feel secure, comfortable and confident in life. She is a very optimistic person whom, I can get along with on a sisterly type relationship. Charli and Peter also have their own business here in Australia and the USA distributing baby monitors.
Liam (Oldest Boy): Liam is 3 years old, the end! Haha he acts like a typical 3 year old boy and since the boys are used to different nannies in and out of their lives he tests to see what your made of. He is very well educated with ABC's and 123's, he just needs to focus his attention.
Jake (Youngest Boy): Jake is 17 months. He is pretty average, and easy going. He will try to play up the "but I am just a baby" thing to try to get you to do things for him, and can at times have strong stubborn side. He is pretty cute and fun loving.
Also the whole family is vegetarians, who are aware of the environment (to a certian degree).
We all live here in this four bedroom house quite happily at the moment, with Tyler the cat and Maxie and Blondie the two chickens. I hope that helps to better understand the peeps. If you have any questions just TV they have here. If you'll notice it is friggin huge. It is actually not a TV we have a projector, so it is like I am at the movies all the time! lol. Although I don't watch much TV here and I don't miss it either.
The other picture I posted is of a magpie. These birds are very common and all over the place. Well the one that I took a picture of is very special, and I mean that in the most olympic way. Every day this thing comes and sits on the back fence, and everyday this damn bird flys back and forth from the fence into the neighbors window and back to the fence. It does this for half the afternoon. I think it hit the window too many times, and obviously has some sort of brain injury! I just thought I would share the oddity that is that bird that I watch everyday. Also speaking of stupid! The damn flies here are SOOOOO annoying! I think they must be stunned by the heat (it was 35 degrees today while you suckas were having a snow storm) because as you are walking they will land on your face. When you shoo them away they fly up and and then land on the exact same spot you just shooed them from. It is enough to drive a sane person crazy!
My final tidbit for this evening is evidently being environmently conscious and walking in this place is like sacrificing your own life for the earths! Being a pedestrian around here is taking your life into your own hands. Drivers don't give a shit if you would like to cross the street at a marked crosswalk, maybe you should think about doing that in a car, if you'd like to cross the street. And you can forget crossing at an unmarked but still legally binding crosswalk. Forget it! Unless there is a large metal wall shooting up from the ground these Aussies willlllll NOT stop for you to cross the road at anytime.
Well that is all for tonight. I am hoping to take the boys to the Aquarium in Darling Harbour either on Friday or at the latest early next week. I will keep you posted!
