Saturday Night Blogging

Hobo wife, spending my hard earned money in 'Home Plus'(actually buying me some wine)if you click the photo it looks much better
hej all and sundry
it is Saturday night. We ended up in a singing room last night for the first time since moving to Gimhae. It was great. We relived the old classics, it’s been months now. We got home AFTER MIDNIGHT, also for the first time since moving to Gimhae.
On the motorcycle front, nothing much is going on, apart from me wanting to make unnatural romantic situations with my magna come true, but that is also not new.
Parky is doing really well. She has been a 백조 for a month now. That roughly translates into English as ‘chick hobo’. She has been relaxing herself, chillin' with her homies and basically busy as all hell (if you know Parky it won’t surprise you at all) all at the same time.
This is what I don’t understand. If an Australian takes a month off, they go fishing, camping, laze about the place and rest and recuperate. If Parky takes a month off she starts learning yoga, going to the gym, studying, decorating the apartment and more…………….
One of the things she did was setting up her new business venture. I’m quite proud. She is now earning 60% of what I make for teaching only 9 hours per week. (I work 40 and teach 20ish hours per week) I don’t mind admitting that I’m a little jealous, but good luck to her.
This is wifey-o being a hobo cuuuuuuuuuuuute
Parky had business cards made up for “English with Ellen” (Ellen is the name she has always used as an English teacher). We found out, before they were printed, that it was nothing extra to have the back printed as well. She showed me the template and I had my own little spiel printed on the back. I’m quite happy with the result. More than happy in fact, I’m extremely happy, ecstatic to have my first ever business card.

Almost as happy as I would have been if she had told me that they were to be “printed on pink business cards” and I had said “F*#^ that, us bikers don’t have pink business cards, let’s have them printed on something much more manly, like pastel blue, or puce or mauve or something”. And if we had decided to print them on non-pink business cards then imagine how happy I would have been. I’m nearly that happy, but that conversation never happened, so…………………well fuck it…….lets be honest………now I have my first ever business card AND a story to go with it, so maybe I’m even happier with a pink business card than without. Alas I will never know, because not only will I never have another first business card, but we have 500 of the fecking things so it will be some considerable time before I have a second business card. I promise to update you on my feelings in this regard if and when we ever get another lot of business cards made.

I have put Mr Phweep on the card. Some might say it’s not professional. I say “neither am I for the most part, so bollocks to you". And as muck as I would like to ride bikes for money, it's not a business.
The thing that I am most disappointed with though is that I have proven myself correct. I have often said that when one is happy and all is going well, one has bugger all to write about. I am most disappointed about this, from a blogging perspective, because I am, and it’s true.
