Happy New Year!

Happy New Year for 2015!

Do's: Have fun.
Don't: Break your neck.

I didn't attend any New Years parties because Halo + Crowds = Eyepatch and/or concussion for unlucky person/peoples.

I have been watching a lot of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

That's cool though, my whole life is a party.

Wishing everybody all the best for 2015!

Dropped on head, still got it!

Yesterday, my friend Sarah organised for a group of us to do the latest room in the Mystic Clue Room Escape experience in Canningvale. I have done one of these rooms before with another group of friends. While it was a fun experience, we needed heaps of help solving the puzzles. Not that they were that difficult, or that we were that dumb-- we just way overthought some of the solutions. Each time we figured it out, we had a "Duh!" moment.

The Bat room promised to be a little bit different, with gears, sensors, and mechanised puzzles. I don't want to give too much away. It was exactly that. But there were delightful surprises. And great atmosphere. And very satisfying solutions.

We figured it out in 45 minutes with no help, and so were very happy escapees.

2014 Retrospective

I have been wracking my brain trying to think of a succinct way to sum up the year, and I'm not coming up with much. Obviously the last month has been dominated with my new crogan status (crippled bogan, I've inherited the title from Trish). But the other 11/12ths of the year was generally delightful!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing everybody a very Merry Xmas and holiday season! Hope you ate yourselves silly. I certainly tried to.

Halo Clinic - Week 2.5

Halo clinic came early this week! Since no one wants to be working on Boxing Day.

One of my pins is infected-- actually, the technical terms used by the medical staff were "grodey" and "squiffy". So in addition to the topical cleaner, I'm now on antibiotics. Fortunately for the holiday season, not one of the ones that interact with alcohol. However, it is one of the ones that needs to be taken on an empty stomach. Good luck with that over Christmas!

'tis the season

Halo Clinic - Week 2

Week 2 of Halo clinic is done and dusted! I am now 1/6th (16%) of the way through!

The pins are holding up nicely, although unfortunately the rear left one is being a crusty bum. The nurse kindly gave us some special solution to try and clear up any brewing infection. It's blue, so I'm pretty sure it will work.

During the past week my poles have been creaking and clicking so I have been concerned about loose pins. However at the appointment, the pins all had an adequate amount of pressure on them (ranging from 6-8 pounds) before they were tightened. Apparently the clicking is normal, and the reason they are doing it more now than they were in the first week is because I am moving around more. Makes sense.
