Backs and Babies

Me and Simon are not well at the moment, having both had really bad coughs, which has now started to get better. Simon has done his back in, i think its from an injury a while back and is now having problems moving, he seems to be getting slowly better now.

Was chatting with Frederick (the german) the other night and it turns out that he is one of 13 brothers and sisters, doesnt quite beat Simons dads but nearly. Fred is the oldest boy and the youngest is 5. Fred is very much into the Hillsong Church and doesnt drink (to get drunk), and is looking for a girlfriend for life. I wonder if he only believes in sex after marriage, ive not asked him but i wonder. He was asking me about my relationship with Simon and he said that he thinks Simon is great, and he looks up to him (he is about 5 foot 10 so im not sure how that works :-) ) as he likes Simons temperament and how nice Simon is. (I know Simon hates the word nice but Frederick has limited english so thats the best he can do)

Mum is coming here next Friday, so we are trying to sort out the apartment and get things tidy. I confused the guys by which weekend she was arriving so they have been slowly tidying the apartment up and worrying about how she will cope. They keep asking whether she will cook (i think them being Brazilian means that they have mommas that spend their life cooking). My answer to this was ehrrrr very unlikely but she might clean :-) . Love u mum.

Pete has now come back to the office from San Francisco so the dynamics of the company is gonna change now, instead of it just being 3 of us in the office its now 6. One being the dog called Bruce and the other being Petes wife who is preggers but at least its someone i *think* is more on my wave length. Im having the problem whereby they are just too intellectural for me, and what they consider as an interesting topic of conversation just goes way over my head. They either talk about Politics, environment, religion (they all seem to be athiests) or really high level geek talk. Ive decided that the guys are like the Paris Hiltons of the geek world, very into the new buzz words, any new technologies etc.

Went out last night with Joesphine and found out that shes pregnant. It turns out that she had been messing around with the pill, and thought she might be pregnant but she actually wasnt, but at that stage she thought she was so they therefore didnt take protection and therefore she has become pregnant. Her and Nick seen to be really pleased though and are making plans for the future. Its going to be an intriguing looking baby because she is swedish and he is half chinese, half fijian. Im curious though as to who this relationship is gonna go because they have only been going out with each other a couple of months and they are continuously arguing.

Seems like a nice day today so i think i might go to the beach. Si is off to the pictures wanting to watch 300 but.. has lumbered himself watching Mr Bean with Gustavo instead. 300 is not on till next week.
