Friday Funny: Australia Day 2015
Monday 26th January is Australia Day for 2015.
This is a time for Australians to reflect on how lucky we are to live in the “Lucky Country”. For many it is also a time to relax with the family on the public holiday.
For the last few years, it has also been used as a great time to promote having a party with friends and cooking lamb chops on the BBQ.
Where’s David during January 2015?
Hi everyone
It has been a while since my last post, but that has been because I have been in holiday mode.
Sadly, holiday mode does not just mean relaxing. Before Christmas and between Christmas and New Year and then for the first week of the new year, my family and I worked on sanding back the wooden decks (4 areas) around the pool in the back garden all the way to raw wood. We then acid washed the decks and repainted with a tint coat and two slip resistant finishing coats.
Merry Christmas 2014 and a Happy New Year 2015
It is that time of year again and hasn’t it arrived quickly. I have been independent as Winthrop Development Consultants for 2 months now and been having a great time.
My trip to the USA for the reIMAGINE 2014 conference in Fargo, ND and to visit family in Florida was fantastic. I have been working on getting all my business processes organised and have been developing my standard template dictionary.

Updating the WinthropDC logo
Before I worked for Microsoft, I ran my own business called Winthrop Dexterity Consultants.
Winthrop because that is the suburb of Perth I live in, Dexterity (Microsoft Dynamics GP’s development environment) as that was my primary focus and Consultants as that is what I was doing.
