I had a good Saturday night last night with our ‘Arabian Nights’ themed picnic at Wallis Reserve and the best part was that nobody called the police. Steph and I rocked up late (to be expected) but we had the chicken, leb bread and garlic sauce from the lebo deli so they couldn’t really complain. It was just such a lovely idea to have a picnic at ( Read more... )

Wow I have become quite slack in my journaling! Unfortunately full-time work will do that to you…suck your life away….especially teaching. Not that I’m complaining because I am really enjoying it. It’s one of few professions when you can talk all day and people actually listen to you lol. I’ll try not to make this post teacher related. Lol

At work right now and there aren’t that many people left in the staff room but that is normal for a Tuesday because most people stay back on a Monday and Wednesday. It is like a ghost town here on a Friday afternoon but I imagine that is like all work places and not just schools. I can’t believe that is week 5 at school right now (thank god) and ( Read more... )

I went to my book club meeting yesterday and met the other members. They are Kristie’s counsin’s friends so they are like first year uni students which made me feel old lol but they are all very pleasant. We went to this funky Mexican café in Parramatta where we had a brief discussion on the book because nobody really liked it, ‘One flew over the ( Read more... )

How awesome was Harry Potter?! Of course there were some things that I wasn’t completely happy with such as the fact that they cut out the Gaunt ring reference, like I know that Dumbledore only hypothesised that Voldemort went back and killed his parents but that would have been cool to see and would have explained the existence of the ring in ( Read more... )

Well it seems an age since I last updated livejournal probably because it has been. I would have done it earlier but I’ve been super busy in terms of holidays and my home computer has gone retarded for some reason and displays the page off centre….and I’m not computer literate enough to rectify the situation.

Well I suppose a condensed update of ( Read more... )

I am seriously becoming obsessed with the musical, ‘Wicked’. I saw it twice in London and bought the soundtrack and have made ring tones out of several of the songs. My favourites are ‘The Wizard and I’ and ‘Defying Gravity’, but I also made a ‘Dancing through life’ and ‘Popular’ ring tones. I’m thinking about popping down to Melbourne to see it ( Read more... )

Well I’m back from my 2 month holiday in the United Kingdom and Central Europe and it is bloody hot! I’m sick too which I think is largely due to the differences in temperatures between there and home. In England the temps hovered around the 7-10 degrees Celsius range while here the temps have been mid 30-40’s which is quite warm indeed!

I had a ( Read more... )

i have just realised that i'll be over in London when Twilight comes out and therefore wont have anyone to bitch to about it! I have to talk through movies and it nearly killed me watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in Alton (village) in England sitting next to these people i didn't know. I coudn't discuss Emma Watson's eyebrows or ( Read more... )

I should have updated before now but I’ve been busy/lazy. Only 25 days until I head-off into a British winter holiday…am I mad? No, I’m not I’m getting the real experience…..I bought a really warm jacket so I should be ok…..how cold can it get? I’d prefer to freeze over there than sweat like a pig back here for Christmas. I’ve even booked myself a ( Read more... )
