Daughter invested in a $450 khathmandu jacket, when I say she I mean "I".
It gets a lot of use on cold mornings, between games, and in the waiting around at hockey.
It also got a tear in the sleeve.
Now to their credit Kathmandu do make repairs, you take your stuff back to the shop and they send it back to the factory and lo! it returns as new.
except
After 10 days we get a call, it's been sent back unrepaired, the factory have deemed the jacket 'dirty'and would like it cleaned. This is despite the shop inspecting the jacket and making out a report that on the condition and the remedy we required.
Apparently not good enough. For both of us.
A life just as ordinary. Wherein I drink beer, and write badly

The Simple Life
We have a simple house. We don't have clutter, we have few trinkets and nick nacks. What we tend to have is less things that are slightly more expensive. Which sounds a bit pretentions, we have things that we can afford at the time, and we shop diligently in sales and looks for opportunities. We don't buy on whim, we find our need and then investigate the options and buy according to our wallet.
We don't carry any credit card or HP debt.
We had a bit of an open home thing, well it was a pre-ball gathering for daughter and her friends and parents, nothing at all flash, just a couple of hours of get together before the party bus arrived.
Many of the fathers of daughters found it pleasing that I had "all the gadgets "and daughter has had her friends tell her she is rich! as if.
The 'gadgets' then are; A 50" panel TV, a Cannon EOS SLR, and an iPad. There is a Tivoli Radio in the kitchen and an iPod Dock.
Like i said simple things and not exactly gadget land.
It's nice to have a simple household, it does not mean it does not get messy, I'm sure you'd be horrified if you visited at the clutter, but I like it like that.

Waiting on a Macbook Air
I've talked myself into needing one. Just the entry level one. Depsite them being 2 or 3 times more expensive than a notebook computer.
It's about weight, and in philipworld I'd use the Air to fabricate my blog, and things.
That there were a couple of 36 months interest free deals going on, and this is ike a red rag to a bull, at mearly a few dollars a month I could have the toy of the moment.
Except that they're not in stock, and I don't have one, and at the price they are I don't want to wait for one, I want instant gratification, I want it now, today, take home.
So I don't have one, but I did get a keyboard and a dock for the iPad, and today I'll get a magic mouse. perhaps.

After all I promised myself.
Kathmandu how i'm annoyed at you

It also got a tear in the sleeve.
Now to their credit Kathmandu do make repairs, you take your stuff back to the shop and they send it back to the factory and lo! it returns as new.
