John and Sonia's wedding

John and Sonia were married today at the Botanical Gardens by Peter Ezzy.

Sold the Pathy

Now that I've bought the disco we needed to sell our Pathfinder - luckily it sold pretty easily - in fact straight away when I put it on the side of the road at the Howard Springs turnoff.

Was able to sell it for a little more than what I owed on it.

Bought a disco

Gwenny and Paul flew down on the night of Wednesday the 29th of April and stayed with Aunty Kris.

We picked up the 2nd hand car on the Thursday from a private seller who lived on Toorak Road.  We noticed it had a bit of mud inside up high on spots where it shouldn't be but Paul had already bought it sight unseen!  We learnt later it had been drowned but it was still a great car anyway - especially once an electrical fault was sorted.

We had a good trip home.  The first night (Friday) we only got as far as Mildura as the car had a new engine and needed a 1000km oil change.

The saturday night we stayed in an underground hotel in Cooper Pedy.  Sunday night we stayed at Wycliffe Wells which we found a bit weird.

We got home Monday evening the 4th of May, 2009 with no problems - loved the car!

Paul gets permanency with ConocoPhillips

Paul's gamble to work with ConocoPhillips on a short term contract thankfully paid off as he was successful in a fulltime position as a ConocoPhillips employee (before he was a contractor).

Paul's title is an "Analyst" and he works in the IT's Infrastructure department.  He initially mainly worked at the Darwin LNG site but then alternated between there and the office in the Darwin CBD.
