In the process of moving everything from this place to the new place. Going to do the big stuff on the weekend, many boxes are going already… In the process of changing addresses over, figuring out electricity and gas (I’ve never lived in a house with gas stuff in use before… watch me learn to [...]

I think we’ve figured out our “Sydney Routine”.

Check into the hotel (that we’ve booked through Wotif.com or through a new place like Hotels Combined) about 2pm after remember again that we hate the stretch along South Dowling Drive…
Find lunch. This time around we stuffed ourselves silly with Manchurian Sweet and Sour Pork and some dumplings [...]

Gee B1 and B2 proved great conversational starters in my younger years…
Anyway… (Do you know what time it is?)
We’ve got ourselves a place very very close to where I work… meaning walking to work every day! *bounce* Slightly larger than we have now, but technically a townhouse… though it’s not a little box courtyard like [...]

Just got word that there’s going to be a “Continuing” Japanese course running next semester (Feb onwards) at the ANU CCE. *dances* Now to (a) remember to enroll; (b) buy the text and (c) brush up my reading at least over summer.
THere’s also going to be a beginners burlesque dance course running through the sports [...]

I’ve not been to a party in someone’s house before with a DJ all set up with his many speakers, turnables and … well laptop these days…

Nothing but the local DJ.
He said he had some songs to play.
What went down from this fooling around.
Gave hope and a brand new day.

Stand Back: Domestic Genius at Work

Okay, I’m sure I’ve mentioned my periods of being banned from doing household tasks such as the dishes (relegated to wiping up), and doing Rish’s washing due to one too many tissue incidents (bans have been lifted due to the necessity of me being available to do these tasks).
I was just putting out washing, a [...]

Ahh, the Canberra rental market… HATE it hate it hate it.
The new landlord has decided that a $55 a week rental increase is what they’d like… so… we’re looking around at our options, starting the process of going to open houses, seeing what’s out there that might be suitable. Oh and I’m sure we’ll be [...]

So, went back to work today. I’m certainly still not 100%, throat still hurts and some of my glands are still puffy, along with just being tired and a little drained… but a million times better than on Friday/Saturday - when I was struggling to even swallow my saliva, water or pills, let alone trying [...]

I think generally I’m feeling better. Well my headache is gone, my body aches gone. I’ve had a bit of a temperature coming and going, but I don’t see that going anywhere for awhile…
But I swear it’s getting harder to swallow. It’s certianly getting harder to talk. The glands in my throat are still round [...]

It seems that I have forgotten how to swallow. My mother always told me that I must be sick if I’ve got an aversion to food (who was a chubby little child, hmm?) … and this is one of those times. It’s taken me an hour to try to eat my black rice that Rish [...]
