Being new to the cargo game, I’m stoked that the BBC have started up a project called The Box where they are going to track a self promoting shipping container for a year.
The aim is to teach people about world trade and globalisation but for me it’s a really good behind the scenes look at an industry that my work is related to but coordinated from an office nowhere near a wharf.
I did email them asking if they will be selling tee-shirts or money boxes depicting The Box, but I’m happy to say that I stumbled across a cut out, make it yourself model. Might get cracking on that today.

In a lot of ways it’s one step at a time for me. The best thing about that is that sometimes you stop and look around and can see how far you’ve come.

Apparently this is post 1,500 for me. That’s not the reason I’m on here. I didn’t even know that was the case until I logged in. Must be like a footballer about to run out for their 300th league game. The crowd is there cheering, bought the tickets for this occasion three weeks ago, the banner was made by volunteers who worked hard on it until 3am the night before, and until the bloke is about to run out and crash through the banner, he actually had no idea about the milestone at all.
OK, except that I don’t have legions of fans, and there’s no banner, and there’s no football ground… or game… it must be just like that.
Lucky it happened really, because I don’t have too much else to say.
Egg on I love yas all. xx

It was nice to celebrate Gibbo’s 50th with her down at the coast on Saturday night.
I’ve forgotten how to insert photos but when I figure it out I’ll post one of me and my sis who is 17 weeks pregnant… I’m going to be an auntie… hooray!
I’m glad I’ve read lots of baby blogs over the past few years.
The biggest lesson I’ve learnt from all of you is that they seem to grow super fast and I need to get down to see them as much as I can.

I did get goosebumps at the first thump of the drum. Now I can’t help being reminded of sitting exams in big gymnasiums, row after row of students.
Going to love all this drumming though.
Being at the Sydney opening ceremony was amazing and literally a dream come true… it had been my goal since the Games were announced in Sept 03 to be there that night.
Having not watched it on tv since, I really don’t know what the whole story behind it was (they give the media some script to read through), but it was phenomenal to be there.
Of course, I’ll never forget little Nikki Webster. I don’t know what it looked like on tv but it really did look like she was under the water in the stadium.
Ooh, those lifting sparkly Olympic rings are clever. Very pretty.
Might keep watching after all.
Egg on The Olympic spirit is creeping up on me.
