After two or three weeks of fantastic weather, it has gone to custard.

The weather forecast is rainy and grey and windy for as far as the forecasts go.

The timing isn’t too bad.  This weekend I’m leaving the beach and going an hour west to the country to house sit for a friend of a friend who needs their cat fed.  Yes, I’m going to be a cat lady for 10 days.  Should be nice to have the fire place roaring and get lots of work done (I have 4 incomplete stories that I’d like to finish for you guys and maybe 10 hours of video that I’ve paid for that I need to process as well).

There are gay boys in the country right?

Here is a photo of me a few days ago when it was sunny.  Those speedos are from Q Swimwear.  They are more of a waterpolo feel.  By that I mean heavy duty and I really like them.

Guess who else has a pair of Q-Swimwear?

Spectacular day here in Australia, really feels like a typical summers weekend.

Temps will get into the 30C’s (into the 90F’s).

I actually have a full day of work ahead of me but I just went down to the beach for a quick swim and then made some phone calls (had to call Kip in Colorado).  For a Saturday morning I was surprised that I found a nice quiet spot to dry off.

The next week looks like similar weather, who wants to join me on the beach for more fun like I wrote about yesterday?

It has been a little while since I ordered some new speedos…. trying to think the last new pair I got and it was probably the pair that Paul the Politician gave me (click here to read about that).

The pool her is open again for swimming although the new rules sounds like a pain in the butt I should get back swimming. I’ve been running so feeling OK fitness wise but from swimming four times a week to zero over night has been a bit of a bummer.

I was trying to think of what speedos to buy that would be pool appropriate (white AussieBum Coolabah’s do not fit that role (click here to see what those speedos look like). I don’t particularly like paying US$50 for a pair of speedo either.  Over a few days I shopped on the AussieBum website but their lycra speedos have never quite worked for me and the nylon ones are a little loose when swimming in them a lot, and I find they fade pretty quick.

Then I remembered the people from Q Swimwear had emailed me a while back asking me to try their speedos.

They didn’t offer me a free pair of anything unfortunately, but they were having a 50% off sale so it came out pretty affordable.

I ordered a plain black pair and these which I have had some naughty thoughts about already…..

Now the wait begins though… I ordered them two weeks ago (they hand make each pair so they take two weeks before they leave their store) and they are based in San Diego so I have no idea what the post time is for packages from San Diego to Sydney these days.  Maybe Xmas?  I ordered a new phone from China two months ago and last I checked it is in Singapore….

Anyone else buy some new speedos lately?

Today I received my snowboarding season pass to Breckenridge in the mail.  This winter I’ll be heading over to see Kip at some point although I haven’t figured out what time or for how long just yet.

For those of you guys who are new, Kip is my number 2, officially he is my ‘server administrator’ but he pretty much does everything that I’m not smart enough to do.  He keeps everything online and running smoothly.  Kip isn’t all that interested in the running of the sites themselves but he does frequent them and I bounce pretty much ALL of my ideas and designs off him before I publish them.

Kip started working for me a few years ago, I’ve stayed with him at his place in Breckenridge and he has stayed with me here in Aussieland.  It is pretty convenient that Kip loves speedos…..  These days I consider him one of my best friends which is kind of convenient since we barely go a day without talking to each other even when we are an ocean apart.

As for when I might head over, summer is pretty chaotic here on the coast with school holidays to maybe I’ll head over for January?  Funny thing is, once I’m in Breckenridge, it is cheaper for me to live with Kip than it is for me to live here.  And those American boys love my accent which comes in handy.

Maybe I should ask Alex if he wants to come…… now there is an idea, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before now.
