I’m really keen to buy a new car, I’ve had my old faithful Toyota Echo since June/July 2000. She’s been a work-horse that has never skipped a beat, and considering I only just paid over $1300 to get the thing serviced with a new waterpump I kind of feel it still owes me something.
At the moment I’m considering either a new Smart fortwo, a new VW Golf or a 2nd hand Toyota Prius. Decisions decisions, I think I may have to do some test driving this weekend to see which drives better.
Here’s my comparison chart:

A change is as good as a holiday! Well – I’m trying to trick my brain into thinking that anyway! Here’s what my office looks like now.
nb: Don’t mind the mess, the refreshing is a work in progress.
I made the panorama with pano, hehe looking at the dodgey door frame makes the building co. look crap!
About a month ago I bought a tablet computer for AU$102 from aliexpress, it’s been sitting at the post office for a week and a half. Unboxed today! I love it, but it’s bloody hard to type on! Pictures to follow.
Here’s some more snaps of the progress.
