Another Week, Another Explosion

This time at Broadway Shopping Centre - photo from SHM

In other news, I went to my first lecture at SMBC today. I'm doing one subject of the Graduate Diploma in Divinity (I'm still trying to work out if I'll be divine when I'm finished - only 7 subjects to go).

I was in class when the explosion happened and got a bit distracted when my phone kept vibrating in my pocket with calls and messages from people who wanted to make sure I was ok.

Never a dull moment on Mountain St

This what I saw as I arrived at work this morning (photo from SMH), the pink building on the right is where my (Barneys) office is!

There was apparently an explosion last night, which has made a big mess and sucked 2 of the windows out of our office. A lot of glass from Nandos (where the explosion happened) has been thrown across the road with such forced it's knocked down the fence around the old fire guttered Barneys building. It hasn't even been 2 years since our fire...

I'm not sure whether it's significant but this morning I was wondering if I should have chips with my Nando's chicken pita meal at dinner tonight or be more healthy and have salad... I guess I don't have to answer that question anymore...

The Search for the yellow M & M

This is an m&m dispenser... Why is this important you ask?

Well, Marian used to have a yellow one in the Barneys office and I thought it would fun if I could find another one for her...

Hmmm it was a good idea at the time. However there appear to be no yellow ones for sale anywhere in the worldwide web.

If you know where I can get a yellow m&m baseball pitcher with a blue cap dispenser please let me know!

The Fire

Paul sent me some pictures of the Credo office after the fire today. It's pretty sobering to see them... It's hard to believe that the building is gone, I still get a shock when I walk down Broadway and see the burnt out shell of Barneys...

They removed the roof and inside walls etc that were still standing where my office was, it feels kinda wierd to know that it's not there anymore.
