Work, eat, sleep
Regular jayneandmarty readers (you know who you are) will have noticed a lack of posts in the last few weeks. That’s because we haven’t done much except work, eat, and sleep.
In fact we’ve been talking about taking a week off to break out of the working week routine a bit - just staying home, maybe painting the kitchen and our bathroom, doing some gardening, having a surf and so on, but Jayne hasn’t got much leave owing so it’d just be me. She says do it, I say maybe: on the one hand I reckon my brain and body really needs it, on the other I’d rather we spent our precious leave days together. We’ll see.
We did break the routine a bit today, though … we went to see The Bourne Ultimatum at the movies. It was a good, exciting film and a nice change from our regular Sunday arvo routine of getting things ready for the week. We haven’t been to the movies for 18 months - we became a bit jaded with the quality of films, bogans making noise and spoiling the atmosphere, cost etc etc, but we enjoyed it today. Maybe our bad experiences are because our local cinema used to be Lowpoint (that’s Highpoint for the uninitiated).
On a completely unrelated note, I bought a spiffy new aluminium keyboard for the computer the other day. I don’t know what career plans you have Simon, but if they involve designing new products as beautiful as this then you’ll go far.

They were just brave enough to question; if laptop keyboards are so small and thin, why can’t a normal keyboard be that small?!
yeah, they are very, very nice! the wireless ones are even cooler! Add a mouse and computer - the only cable on the desk is a power cable!
I got to experience a 24′ iMac at JB the other day - what a monster they are! amazing…even if you aren’t a Mac person - you can’t deny good Industrial Design.

I nearly went for a wireless one but (a) I decided I wanted the keypad, (b) I didn’t want to pay an extra $50, and (c) there weren’t any in stock anyway.
It really is a beautiful piece of design. Feels amazing (both to use and just to touch - the aluminium is cold at the moment) and looks amazing. Wish I had one at work too.
