Golden Oldie

Well, I'm 33 now! I had a lovely birthday, even though I worked during the day, as I had my usual Thursday night tap class and then most of the tappers came out to the pub afterwards to celebrate my ageing! It was really cool.

Rachel and I are practically an item, and it's just fantastic. I love spending time with her. Boy did I get lucky meeting her in that show! See? Tap dancing pays off in more ways than you can imagine! haha

The project is DEFINITELY going in this weekend. We are winding up all the work now. I am very much looking forward to taking a break once it is all over.

Hope everyone is well! :)

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone!

Rachel and I are going really well. We aren't 'official' because of the reasons I've mentioned before, but we spend a lot of time together and are very cosy.

It's lovely. Closest thing I've had to a proper girlfriend in a very long time, so I'm stoked!

On a side note, it's my birthday this week! I turn 33 on Thursday!

And, the project has been delayed AGAIN. New end-date is 28 April. I wonder how long that will last?

Tap star

Performed the tap routine again today at a fair at Cranbourne Christian College. It got a great reception from the crowd and it was so much fun to do! It was also great to see some of the guys from the other tap classes that I got to know during the play.

Rachel and I are still in no-man's-land, but boy she's an excellent pianist! She's got a piano in her apartment and she played while I sang, and we both had a fabulous time. I've never known anyone who could play the piano that well.

Work is going well - we are starting to get back on track and even though we are working crazy hours it feels really productive. Finish line in sight!

Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week

What would life be without complications?

Well, it would be a hell of a lot simpler for one thing.

Rachel is going overseas in a couple of months for a 6 month semester of study + holiday to Toronto. She'll be back for Christmas. As much as we get on well, she told me on Saturday night that she really didn't want to get involved before the holiday, otherwise she'd just get too into the relationship as she has in the past and then miss me like crazy while she was gone.

Hence, it is in 'go slow' mode, with a view to seeing where we are in the new year.

Nothing wrong with how we get on -- we are well matched, enjoy each other's company, yada yada yada... just a case of problematic timing.

I sure can pick 'em.

Still, we will continue to see each other, but just with a lot less expectation of forward progression for a while.

I really should have listened to my mother and become a monk... surely that would be easier than this dating scene?

Oh well. I'm still pretty happy, so it's all good right? And our project at work just got a 2 week extension so that's taken a load off my shoulders. We should be able to get everything finished by then. New install date is now 21 April. Yippee!
