Awesome!

Perhaps it just reminds me of Nara Thai’s Pad Thai (ah nostalgia – worked there through uni), but I grabbed the Pad Thai from River Kwai for dinner last night, and it was awesome. $15 and yum. (with prawn chips thrown in!)

Ventured out to the Handmade Markets this morning, to have a wander and get some Xmas shopping done!

Hot day – wouldn’t want to be in the shed later this afternoon. Ugh. Got a yummy cold chai from the Real Chai stand free when I bought some tea from them, that cooled me off and [...]

When Rish offered to take me out for dinner to celebrate us both getting through a stressful semester at Uni, I of course said yes, and then waited for his to decide where to go :p I’m helpful like that.
We settled on Maestral Seafood Restaurant in Weston. Why? Well, it’s walking distance of home – [...]

Rish’s father sent me these flowers yesterday… why?
Well, we were helping them move a bunch of furniture from their current house to their newly built house… Rish had the trailer behind our car, I was in the ute with his Dad just behind…
About, say, 5 km down the road, on the third roundabout (for Newcastle [...]

Went for some sprints this morning on the oval near work. Does it not surprise you by looking at the picture above at how dead the grass is, that the ground was hard as rock, and we moved to the soft soft bitumen of the road instead?

I got a Distinction for the Lit review on Learning Disorders/Challenging Behaviour I submitted Friday. Yay!
The ultra-fast turnaround got me wondering why the other one hadn’t been marked… turns out the lecturer couldn’t find it in his inbox. Submitting assessments by email sucks. Give me a hard copy or Moodle/Blackboard dropbox instead. I’ve re-emailed. It [...]

I love the flowers in my suburb. I love that when I walk to work each day there are new ones out, ready to smile at me, and warm me up into the day. Like this little guy, so spikey and firey.
I’m starting to amass a huge collection of the “flowers of Holder”… if [...]
