The Mrs and I just got back from one of our first extended (meaning more than 2 hours) date night since the Boo was born. It was the first one of that list of concerts that I listed here a few weeks ago. And it was GLORIOUS. Absolutely everything that I could have hoped for and the Mrs seemed to enjoy herself too.

This show was Circa Survive performing a 10 year anniversary tour of their second album "On Letting Go". Because I know a couple of you mentioned not knowing who they were (I'm looking at you Maccy) I'll spoil one of their songs here, but if you want more you'll have to ask for it in the music thread.

Spoiler

Damn but it was a good night.

and in the continued run of happy, phone call today saying there will be a follow up call on sunday regarding my CV for the job in Dubai (which will put the driving range plans on hold unless mum and dad want to build that project themselves (unlikely)) but its all coming up machouse at the minute

Fingers crossed dude. One question: would the Dubai job involve much time each day working outdoors?

[Macros]

Probably not as strict as a union site in Aus, but still regulated.
But when I was in Northam it tipped over the 40 mark that often we had to scrap union rules for the site and worked up to 45s

I didn't know you'd actually been in the country. I was under the impression that visa thing was too much of a shit and it all stopped.



EDIT
I've done extreme temps here, and generally when it's 40+ or so it's usually very dry and as such as a native I can mostly handle it. I wouldn't dig ditches in those temps, but I can function.

I was in Dubai briefly in August 2015, and dear God, 50 degrees with just a hint of humidity is hell on earth.
Probably didn't help that I came down with a flu just before we landed and I didn't fully shake it until 3 weeks later.

My mom's got a very very affordable appartment in Germany, where she works over the week, through a colleague from work and her very kind old neighbour lady. The price is less than a half of what she's been paying for an around 2x3m room in an apartment where she shared kitchen and bathroom with 3 other people.

Im fairly sure I met you when I was in Aus sombra

from whta I can gather when the summer time comes its all planning and panel work indoors, so shouldn't be outside in the 50s

[Mentalist]

On the bright side: extension to 0 is pretty regularly achievable now. without help I can get it to 6 degrees. And once it's at zero, it can actually stay there for a while, bending the arm once doesn't "re-set" it immediately


On the not so bright side: ow, the whole forearm feels bruised and half-shattered again.

OK, that sounds a bit more sensible. Still, have you seen any docos on the building of the Burj Khalifa? They worked outside year-round. Yuck!

I accidentally cooked an epic dinner tonight. I suggested to Mr PigDog that I would do a roast chicken with a lemon and tarragon sauce as it should be nice but take minimal effort (we are living off take out and ready meals at the moment as ..... baby). He tried to talk me out of it as he rightly pointed out that me previously quite amazing cookery skills seem to have left me and he said "is this made up out of your head because if so even when you follow a recipe at the moment it's awful". His cooking skills have left him too but I haven't got around to telling him because .... baby. But it turned out amazing and he had to say so. Ha! And there are leftovers.

That's awesome! Carl's Jr. really does have big hamburgers!

Oh and the stuff about your pop too.

That is great news BK!

Every so often my friend sends me pictures from her work.

Today it's a picture of some very impressive nuts.

I look forward to seeing the story told in a later episode of "Viking Reno".

So, why didn't you get Slow Ben or any of our other handy DIYers to quote for the job? Think of the hijinks!

I assume you're going with "Trump chic" for the bathroom. You and your filthy Norwegian petrokroner ...

I've enjoyed a beer in the shower on many of an occasion. I thought I was the only one.

What sort of beer? Wouldn't want to be a lager - aren't they more of a 'golden' colour?
