A New Bourne Book! - The Bourne Betrayal
Just as i was searching amazon to buy the last remaining 3 books of the Sword of Truth series i came across this wonder! I cant believe there is another book.
The Author is Eric Van Lustbader and he also wrote book 4 of the series called "The Bourne Legacy". I also read that he plans to write a sequel to this book.
Cant wait to read this one...
Here is the plot for this book from the official website http://www.ericvanlustbader.com
"... Jason Bourne takes a mission to rescue his only friend in the CIA, Martin Lindros, who disappeared in Africa while tracking shipments of yellowcake uranium. Once safely back in America, Lindros persuades Bourne to help track the money trail of terrorists buying the nuclear material in Odessa.
But once there, Bourne is hampered by confusing flashbacks of unfamiliar places and events and he wonders: Is someone brainwashing him in order to throw him off the trail? Worse, is the man he saved in Africa really Martin Lindros? Now, Bourne is alone gathering evidence while trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists who won't let anyone stand in their way of destroying the U.S...."

Nailed by a cattle dog
During my run last night i was bitten on the leg by a blue cattle dog. The owner was teaching it to sit before crossing the road and as i ran pass it had a little go and i couldn't swerve enough and it latch on to my shorts and grabbing a bit of skin. Dogs like that should be muzzled and owners should know and keep a greater hold on them. A little sore, but will have hopefully cleaned it enough.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Last Night i downloaded and watched the first episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I enjoyed the 3 Terminator movies and i am in desperate need of a new TV series to watch while i ride my bike, so i thought i would give it a go!
The verdict - Great stuff, lots of action and follows the story line from the movies nicely.
Here is the official summary:
The Terminator franchise arrives on TV with this serial drama. The series picks up a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day with John and Sarah Connor (Thomas Dekker and Lena Headey) hiding from the government. After two years in one place Sarah decides they need a change of scenery and in doing so they expose themselves to FBI Agent James Ellison (Richard T. Jones) and Skynet's army of Terminators including Cameron Phillips (Summer Glau) a reprogrammed Terminator sent to protect John. She informs them that Judgment Day was not stopped and will take place in 2011. John convinces Sarah to stop hiding and fight so Cameron takes them to a time machine the resistance has set up to take them to the year Skynet was created 2007.

Xmas Celebrations.
Christmas day was massive, Bruce and Lenore were over (and newly engaged) and so was Kaylenes Grandma and Grandad. As well as Andrew and my parents it was a full house. It was a good excuse to test my new weber BBQ (and with my new temp gauge xmas present), the pork roast on this was fantastic.
Bryce and Amanda were around later that night for more presents and food.
The day was finished off with a backyard cricket game with our new neighbors Tom and Jack.
