continuations..................

well.... after a very long time in waiting it has finally happened........ transformation begins.. I caught up with our builder on the weekend to check out the progress on our property.

Despite the relentless rain the footings have gone in and we are ready for the rammed earth contractor who is booked to start this wednesday.. you can see the slab that the rammed earth wall will sit on in the above picture.

The above picture is our driveway and carport. The builder and I are up the back standing on what will be our bedroom.


Another shot of the work in progress. all the work is horizontal at the moment but I am told within 1.5 weeks there will be no less than four carpenters working on site most days...

and they are off and raaaaacing....

a couple of the boys managed to find the time to gatherlast night. jamesy, houndy, ash and I congregated at Q1 to drink a beer or two and generally catch up on the to-ings anf fro-ings of each other.......
ash was out of the starting gates very fast, i distinctly remember him yelling out, "c'mon guys lets do it! Its going to be a night to remember". so i buckled in and got ready to launch outa here. about an hour later still in position and ready for take off we wondered where ash was....
look no further.....

Angus Galloway RIP

DJ BRIBE MY SPACE PAGE

DJ Bribe passed away in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

Angus was one of three DJ's that tore up the scene from the late 80's, he was resident DJ at the Beat and every Friday and Saturday we use to get down to the Beat to watch him cast his spell over his mesmerized soldiers on the dance floor.

The three thing I remember most about Angus were his scratching abilities.

The support he received from the home crowd when international DJ's were in town were on par to the support Wally use to get from the Lang Park faithful.

Finally and the most important Angus was very politically correct well before the term was ever used, he always stood up for the minority or persecuted.

Angus's funeral will be held at Wednesday Centennial Memorial Gardens at Sumner - 10.00am

The wake will be held at Alumbra bar in the Valley from 2.00pm to 7.00pm with Angus's favorite DJ, KJ playing all of Angus's favorite tunes.

Angus's parents would like to gather any photo's possible of Angus, so if you have any, email them to me and I will make sure Graeme and Bobbie get them.

Thank you.

OZ Day in Guate

Well I know I´m a bit late, but I had the best Oz day ever this year so I thought I better put some pics up for you to see how we did it Guatemala style. You have the cricket team, people dressed uplike something Oz, the flag we painted ourselves...and what aussie day would be complete with out doing body shots off a hot chick lying on the bar wearing only the aussie flag? (there were hot blokes lying on bar as well,but only room for so many photos)

beginnings..................

well, they say there are a few definitive years in ones life and i've been lucky to have already had a few. our generation has had the fortunate advantage of having the world of travel at our fingertips which many of the brothers and sisters of the fixing crew are still out there enjoying (see below blog.... woody, you naughty boy)...

2008 looks to be one of those years for sal and i.. when I think what is to happen I kinda get a little bit daunted but I supose life really is about playing a game worth living for....... so as the last remaining of the hazlewood clan enters this year we find ourselves with a massive work season, a may wedding, a house in progress and whatever else comes our way..

so as the cruise season tides of November/December & January work slowly through our veins , our the time has passed and the set date of a february build is now upon us. we were down at our land on the weekend mowing the beast before work begins this tuesday. You cant see the pegs very clearly as they are hammered close to the ground but they are there. The electrical box is in place and erosion barriers ready to go. watch this space as we'll place a few pics on the fix as it all goes up.

The rammed earth walls are to go up mid february which will really set the tone. The hoop pines up the back head straight into a natural forest which is where our bedroom will be (straight up from the electrical box).

the other thing that has occurred somehow is that sal and I have become native bee keepers of recent and we now host a few thousand native bees on our deck.. go figure as I never thought i would bee (hehehe) a host to such creatures but its been a breeze so far. i'll be ready to harvest my first kilo of honey in around 8 months and they shall do all the hard work and polinate all our trees for us.. i reckon we've got it good..

so to all you fixers out there we are sorry about the lack of correspondance but it doesnt mean we aint thinking of you and on this australia day monday we are really wishing everyone a whole lotta love ... wherever you bee.....

Mutatus... mutatus...

The Weekly Footy Fix

There are only 31 days to the Super 14 season begins which means it is footy tipping time. 2008 is going to be a bumper year, so I am organized enough this year to include all three codes in this years comp.

Update your details and register at Footy Tips for the weekly fix competitions.

I have added a footy tipping blog which will replace Bear's blue diary.

Spread the word with your facebook friends and see how big we can get this years comp.
