How To Assemble A Pram

Building things is always fun but not always easy, made even more difficult being restricted to one working leg and the other that is more like a paperweight I'm dragging around at the moment.
The Jeep Urban 4 Wheeler comes in a fairly compact box, so our first assumption was there would be a fair bit of assembling required. A fun night of pram building watching Harry Potter are we parents yet? :)


Removing from the box was easy enough and to our surprise the majority of the pram comes pre-assembled. All that was required was the rear axle and braking mechanism to be attached, the wheels to be put on including little Jeep hubcabs. Attach the front bumper and lastly the drink's tray for the big people and walla we have ourselves a pram.


Deciding on which pram to buy was a much tougher ask. So many options each supposedly better than the last one. We decided on a mid-range priced one that offers plenty of storage, has good stability and looked somewhat comfy and of course key to the list was the weight, easy of folding away and how compact it becomes.



Still plenty of more things to build and do, but things will slow down over the next couple of weeks with the arthroscope finally approaching next Tuesday.

The Pain...

It's been four weeks now since I had my rumble with the peaks of the Remarkable mountains in New Zealand and still another two weeks until I finally get in for an arthroscope. The knee seems to have somewhat settled down, although walking is still a challenge and an interesting sight whilst sleeping is a one sided non-moving affair. For someone who likes to move about sleeping is not an easy task!

While I'm somewhat down and out what better time to get the blood bubble removed from my

head, nothing serious just more annoying than anything (well for the hairdresser - Deb :).

Was a weird experience firstly Doctor Peter Mangos who looked ohh so familiar to me and remarkably he mentioned it straight away as well - I'll remember a face but names forget about it - we agreed that we must have met in another world. The Doc was great and

did what he had to do, albeit six stitches to the head later and a drowsy afternoon.

The weekend was interesting with the pain switching between head and knee and me pondering which was going to make me crazier. Nothing unbearable, more of a nuisance and frustrating. Especially since we are slowly purchasing the goodies for the baby and I'm itching to start putting them together and setting up the baby's room (refuse to call it the Nursery - more on setting up in a future post, when I actually start).

The head is slowly healing and the waiting game is on until the new date for the arthroscope which is now 8th September and than the rehab begins.

I've entered the world of blogging

After reading blogs on a daily basis for a few years now I've finally decided to enter the world of blogging. Why you may ask? This is the very question I am asking myself right now, will anyone read this blog, does it mater if they do or don't what will my blog contain?

Well for most part it will just be a rundown of my life, life with my partner and our expecting son (Jan 10).

Who knows what it may evolve into, I'm sure there will be plenty of sport mentioned (Basketball, Formula 1, AFL, Soccer, Tennis), some techno gadgets and some gaming (Pc & PS3) talked about somewhere along the way as well.

For now though we will leave this as a little introduction and see where the road takes us.

Updates will be purely random, whilst I'm a big fan of planing, I'm not big on schedule/routine.

Cheers for now.
