Flags

We went to the Mt Gravatt Show today. The big show for Brisbane is the EKKA, but I prefer these smaller shows. Why? The Ekka is huge, and very expensive. So we wondered around the MtGravatt Show. There wasn't a huge amount on, but there was a show and shine for ute (pickup) owners. There seemed to be a competition to see who cound have the most flags hanging of their ute. Anyway, I have been wanting to catch the sun behind a flag for a while now. I quite like the effect. This was my second option for a blip[ today. Seening all those lovely utes made me think about spending a bit of time doing up my old Landrover. It is about time I did a bit more work on it. It actually wouldn't take too much to get it on the road.

Anyway the show gave us something to do after Jo spent the morning at work and I did some chores around the house.

Tonight I made a huge batch of Chilli (does chilli have one l or two?) for work and my Father-in-Law. Not too hot, despite adding six very hot chillis. Now I have to find a place to freeze it all down. All in all the weekend is turning out to be quite relaxing. In the back of my mind I have some college projects to work on, but I might just push those thoughts away.

I also signed up for a Flickr account tonight. During my travels around the blip I have noticed a number of Blippers have Flickr accounts. I am going to use it as a sort of image overflow.
