Hardy like a cactus (or my bamboo)

Andrew’s wedding on the weekend was lovely… it was great to catch up with people again, just like when the stray person heads down our way you remember how much you love the people you’ve left behind. Caught up with our families for breakfast on Saturday - it’s funny how Canberra is just that little bit too far and too cold for people.

Had a fun night - too it upon myself to dance with the flower girl for ages. Plus, they gave us little cactii as bonboniere! The type with soft “leaves”, potted and wrapped in pink. :) Mine’s sitting on my desk ast work - hopefully it will have as long a good a life as the bamboo I got when I left the early childhood team - it was about 20cm then, and now it’s probably a metre tall. I’m planning on (when i get around to it) chopping it and trying to see if I can sprout the cuttings. It won’t harm the originial, I just don’t know if I’ll succeed with the growing.

Organising my flights to Greece this week - the daughter of someone at work is a travel agent, so I have her giving me quotes today, hopefully they’ll be in my email by the time I get to work (staying home for a bit for the plumber to come) and then I can feel much more organised.

So looking forward to a holiday - 2 months to go! :p

So forgot about Muse

The idea of Muse having the top song in the Hottest 100 did not occur to me whatsoever. heh. But if you lok a the list, not much of the top ten was in my area… Like that damn Soko, and Daft Punk getting in wiht a live version of a seven year old song. Ooh that’s it, just re-realease your hits as live versions and it’s like they’re new again!

I did vote for Karnivool’s vesion of Gotye’s The only way. I love it. At least that’s a cover, not the same song by the some band!

Spent the morning yesterday in the car - had a good run, except for being stopped on teh F3 heading out of Sydney for a bit. Crawling. But, it’s just an expected part of a long-weekend drive there. I had estimated I’d get in around 12:15, and I pulled into my parents’ driveway at 12:12pm, according to my clock :p

Spent the afternoon at a friend’s place listening to the countdown and catching up with people. Nice day. Plenty of opinions about what should and shouldn’t be in the Hottest 100 :) and exclamations of “I don’t know this song!”

Had dinner with the family, wiht my sister too. Still some wedding-y stuff to sort out, but it seems ot be pulling together hehe. And she said I can wear the shoes with the silver heel :)

Okay, need to figure out what I’m doing today - I can’t shower yet because there’s a burst pipe in th front yard and the water’s off… I need to catch Rish’s parents at some point - because it’s a nice thing to do, and because they have a monitor for Rish heh. Also give me a chance to get away from my family. i love them, they just drive me crazy…
