Flags, Friends, No Fireworks

Australia Day began with quiet drinks at Larissa's

I then moved on to Dannielle's house - where there was a pool!

After far too many sausages and steak, we went to visit Sarah at the river

No fireworks were seen, but on the way to Freo, Jeremy, Caspar and I stopped to watch an amazing lightening show

The night ended with a midnight swim at Leighton

Damn, that was a hot day

Seek And You Shall Find

Do I have a slight obsession with coffee? Yes, yes I do.
And the best companion to coffee? A mango and white chocolate muffin.

However, for so long I was sadly disappointed that the Gloria Jeans in our building didn't stock them.......until, last week we asked for them and this week, there they are! Ready for my consumption!

So, the moral of the story is - stuff your face with muffins.

ps. Happy Australia Day - for tomorrow :)

Faster Than A Speeding Bullet

I don't quite know how this happened, but on my ride to work yesterday, I OVERTOOK another rider!
It was incredible.
It nearly happened again today, but my legs just didn't have the strength.
Who am I kidding, it will probably never, ever, happen again.

There was an expression of interest put out last night at pilates, for a Friday 6am class. I put my name down - hopefully I don't fall asleep during the stretches.

Roll up, Roll up

For those who don't know, I've started to dabble in something new - cooking.
Yes, I may be the least domesticated person you know, but give me a year, and I swear I'll be a regular house-wife.

So, on Saturday, Louise and I made rice paper rolls - we filled them with pork, prawns and Asian vegies.... yuuuummmm!

Smooth Criminal

I was pulled over on Sunday - speeding on the freeway.
The thought had occurred to me, that the car behind looked like undercover cops - and that they were.....

I was let off a $150 fine, and a stern warning.
Did i flash my boobs? Asked one Helen.
No - small boobs don't really work in these situations.

Must have been my usual charm.

Dad, I Dug a Hole

Friday is a blur, lots of beer, too many vodka/red bulls, excessive consumption……..thanks for driving, Dannielle!

Straight to Leighton on Saturday morning, followed up with a return visit on Sunday.
As you can see, I dug a hole. I later sat in it.

In other news – my sister is home from America, I’m due over there in May – if I ever get my savings together......
Just over a month till Good Vibrations, I vow to save the partying till then.

Don't Ever Leave Me

Fell into bed, straight after dinner last night.
However, woke up at 1am - only to find myself still wide awake at 3am!
So I got up and consumed some trusty 2 Minute Noodles. Mmm, trusty.

5 hours later, I'm back at work - and in desperate need of a pick me up.
The ol' regular long macchiato was crying out for my consumption, and I caved.

Oh, macchiato - we have such a connection.
You know me so well.
I think we'll be together for a very long time.

New Year, New Year

And so we celebrated by........
Painting Brin as he slept, pushing a trolley into the river and then blaming the monkey.
It was fun and now I'm still tired.
