http://gracewing7.blogspot.com/2009/04/gem-of-place.html
After missing out on the annual golf trip last year due to a clash with hockey, I was keen to participate again this year.

A gem of a place. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I play Golf off a 7 handicap and I have played hockey (field not ice) for Western Australia in the Veterans championship 9 times and for ...

http://gracewing9.blogspot.com/2009/10/long-time-no-see.html
Hockey and holiday 2009. It's October again and this year I'm off to Hobart for the Vets hockey championship. This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Monday, October 26, 2009. Long time no see. I'm travelling again, this time to Adelaide. We also looked at some of the photos from Hobart. Dad got home about 6. He'd last his match but had won a meat tray in the raffle. Very interesting an...

US and Thailand 2010: A lazy day
http://gracewing10.blogspot.com/2010/04/saturday-3rd-once-again-i-was-awake.html
US and Thailand 2010. After the success of the last 2 trips to the US I have again been asked to spend some time in the client's office developing new features to their software. By a stroke of good fortune, the timing will allow me to stop in Thailand on the way home to play golf with the guys and 1 girl from my old club. Friday, April 2, 2010. Once again I was awake around 5 and again I did some work for Houston. If I can't sleep I might as well be getting paid for being awake. I play Golf off a ...

What, this old place? The Mensa conference was held at the Carrington Hotel In Katoomba. This is a colonial style hotel that was re-furbished and modernised so most rooms have en-suites. Fortunately the hotel had ...

By coincidence, my Thai client wanted some further work done on the software and additional training so I was able to combine these two activities in the one trip. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. There was no panic as it was still 15 or 20 minutes before we boarded the buses to go to the boat. They loaded up a heap of slabs for the trip plus. Some cartons of soft drink. The trip to the isla...
