With the popularity of my blog, I finally bit the bullet and registered the domain name.

The likelyhood, is that I will have to move this off the WordPress servers in the very near future, and host them myself. What is silly about this, is that I have been running my own webhosting on the side, but when I started doing this blog, I didn’t really expect that I would continue blogging, so didn’t really do it properly.
If you want cheap webhosting – and you are in PNG, give me a yell 🙂
Oh – and Jacinta (wifey) at www.hotstrongcoffee.com can hook you up with wordpress, and give you a hand – she’s not bad my wife,

Hell yeah – I’m liking it.
The header picture of the sunset was taken off our balcony on my Sony NEX-5N. The sunsets here in Port Moresby are incredible.
Today, Jacinta and the kids arrived back in PNG. Two 3 hour flights and a 3 hour stop over in Brisbane, meant the kids were asleep at 7pm, and Jacinta crashed at 8pm. I had to cook as well, so apart from the massive mess in the house, I feel like I’m still here by myself… One of our expats at work was leaving today, so we were having dinner at Asia Aromas, but I bailed with the family just coming in. Maybe I should have just gone….. Happy travels Amanda!
I think I am totally over Malaria now, I had a beer tonight, and it went down like a lead balloon – fast. No side effects..
Hehe
I am primed for Friday night drinks at the yachty.
Hopefully, I’ll get some great photos in this weekend and upload them – until then… Later!
It’s been a cruisey, but lonely couple of weeks here in Port Moresby. Having spent a week sick with malaria, I think I have a bit of cabin fever – so can’t wait for Jacinta and the kids to get back tomorrow.
An eventful day at work today, with no water in the whole of our building – which is the biggest building in PNG. So thankfully, we have company friends that let us use their bathrooms – if you know what I mean!
One of my goals here at work, is to make our department one where we have lots of fun, but also where we work hard and set an example for the rest of the company. One of the fun things that we do, is have free throws at a very small basket, using a foam ball as big as a baseball. The target is at head height, and is made of heavy paper, and only just fits the ball in. Then we walk back, either at 5 meters or 8 meters, and shoot. Because of the ceiling height – it is really hard to do, with only 2 of us sinking it from 8 meters (with me hitting it 3 times to date). The balls curve through the air, bounce off the cubicals, and generally – are bloody hard to get into this little target. Every Friday we all put 1 kina into the pot, and have a one shot competition. No practice – just shoot. So far – the pot hasn’t been won, but I’m sure it will soon 🙂
It.. Is… FUN!
And it means we banter, throw the ball at each other – and really use it as a de-stress time. I wonder if I can get away with an Xbox in the office? 🙂
Right, must fly – short sharp blog post, so that I can enjoy the solitude for one last night 🙂

I spend my work days with a fine collection of roaches stuck in a sticky roach house – I have no pity.
