I'm currently smiling at the thought of all the money we've cost the insurers over the last couple of years after paying out on premiums for decades.

I know they're still winning but it's nice to get a little back every now and again.

Currently working in my home office/front room and my little fluffy dog is snoring loudly, whilst curled up in his basket.

Insurance is one of those odd things. You hate paying premiums, but on the other hand you also hope that you never need to make a claim.

There should be a thread for amusing reviews. This review is for an automatic pool cleaner.

I ordered a dog guard from a U.K. supplier for the new Subaru. It arrived today. It was ordered on 31 July!

I've flown in and out of Queenstown many times previously, but never come in via the lake and out via the mountains. Always the other way around. Novel.

She had a ball. She paraglided from 1700 metres in Oludeniz.

Rather her than me but she likes zip lining and bungee jumping as well.

The Floyds are Dutch Kiwis.

The little Floyds were 12 and 10 when we were there to experience the All Whites beating Bahrain 1-0 in what was arguable the best atmosphere ever at the stadium in Wellington back in October 2009.

Fast forward 14 years, they're not so little any more and now live in Palmerston North and Perth (WA not Scotland) respectively. It just so happens they'll be here to visit us later this week coinciding with the Spain-Netherlands WWC quarterfinal. I tried non-stop yesterday to get tickets on the FIFA resale platform to no avail. Checked again this morning and FIFA have released more tickets so we'll be back at the cake tin as a family on Friday, wearing orange instead of white this time.

I feel like a five year old at Christmas time.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Geektastic:

Do you mean things like anti terrorist training, surveillance detection and so on?

No, it's more around good cybersecurity awareness like good password hygiene, spotting phishing, not plugging USB drives in that you find or are given by random strangers, and avoiding clicking links in email. Stuff like that.

When I say client, I meant client company, so 30 people, all engaged and interacting. Was fantastic.
