Kelly is going to throw something at the computer when she reads that I’m sick with Tonsillitis *ducks* … yeah.. again. This time it definately has the white spots that are tonsillitis, and I have a swollen left gland that you can see in the mirror… Onto yellow and white pills, not pink like last [...]

All I wanted to do was to get a cheap hair cut from Just Cuts, so went on down to Westfield at Woden this morning to do that… but nooooooo… we had to be evacuated (4th time for me in 2 weeks) due to a fire in a candle store (Dusk). At least there were [...]

Work sorrta made us go along to Floriade today. By made, I mean it was decided at some point that since the team leader wasn’t going to be there for our weekly meeting, and because the early childhood team were doing it, we would have lunch and spend out usual meeting time at Floriade.
Nice [...]

So there are advantages to working in a building that you’ve been evacuated three times from in a week. Like being able to come home and take the washing off the line before the dust and mud storms come rolling in again.
So, we were sent home last monday with the power out. Friday morning we [...]

Just back from a lake loop jog with Rish. 31:06 for the 5kish loop. Not bad not bag, considering external factors such as a late night drinking at the cocktail bars of Canberra (Muddle then Hippo), a feeling that I’ve got some sort of bug still in my system (wussy coughs that make my brain [...]

Finally got around to buying a new camera. After trying to take a pic today and the poor old thing’s (my four year old ixus i!) screen flicking off like it did in Athens airport, I thought, that’s it, I’ll get a new camera this week. Well next time I get to a shopping centre, [...]

After failing at my mission yesterday during the weekly grocery shop to buy eggs for a frittata (what?I need 8 eggs for it? surely I could remember to buy them) oh and for the lemon butter I was going to make with the massive amount of lemons I bought… and for the bikkies I’d make [...]

Had a decent gym session today. Sunday’s one of my “running” days, so I hopped on the treadmill, and thought I’d try something diffreent. An 8.0/9.5 km/h intervals, 5mins each. I warmed up into it, and went well until I really just needed to run to the toilet.
But then I came back, and went [...]

I don’t have photos of the gigantic Floriade tulips that are in Civic, though I walked past them today. I’m thinking next weekend for Floriade myself, it was gorgeous weather for it today (Still 22 degrees now!), is meant to rain tomorrow though…
Relaxed day, read the paper, did the washing, gymmed, shopped (piecing together a [...]

As much as I cursed and yelled at him this morning, I’m happy that Rish took me on a jog past the golfcourse.
Yes, it was still zero degrees when we got back, and yes I felt like crying. But I felt mentally good for doing it :p
And I didn’t trip over, despite stubbing my toes [...]
