gail & leisa do cottesloe

the forever country pub, the obh for lunch before walking along the beach for icecream. mmm...

stompin' at subi

dropped in for a lindy class tonight with swing it. fantastic fun. caught up with a couple of familiar faces, who in turn will be hitting the dance floor in melbourne in a few weeks time for MLX. yah! i have some techniques to work on as well. it's interesting how different each city dances.

saturday with the girls

the birthday schnitzel on the cappuccino strip in fremantle. hanging out with ainsley, mum and larissa.

go west!

at last she packs!! just before the shuttle picks her up. quick flight and sleep to adelaide. hanging out at the airport for a couple of hours before more flying and more sleeping to perth.

damn the heat and flies as she steps out of the terminal.

she is picked up by her bogan sister, ainsley - who turned 30 this day (ains is proud of her bogan-ness. yes, i know it's scary, how are we related?) a white ford boom box and they have a red commodore in the backyard - i may disown her yet.

a drive down south to kwinana, henceforth known as bogan-ville (not to be mistaken for the island off the coast of papua new guinea), to see mum. then to her couch for a nap. ahhh....

perth=time to catch up on sleep. ;)

ready or not??

an insane day at work. one campus for one meeting, another campus for more meetings. haven't packed. hair appointment. still haven't packed. pizza in thornbury. and then lloyd cole at the thornbury theatre. a strange venue for this gig - more suitable for a dinner dance. i've not really listened to cole's music before. recognised a couple of songs. he was great. exactly what i needed. sitting on the floor on the balcony listening to a man play an acoustic guitar. good times. and still no packing.

shocking, i know

the melbourne cup winner. i even watched it this year, on the tube at trish and stuart's place. a bbq and a good laugh. maybe one year in the future i might even get to flemington. hold your breath. ;)

oct 31

almost forgot it was halloween. but minutes before i walked out the door i was trick or treated by 4 mini witches and i had a mad panic of what crap i had in the way of treats to give them. thankfully i managed to scrounge up enough to appease the tricksters.

then off to meet alex and chris for dinner and a movie.


or as it's better known, im staub der sterne. an east german sci fi made in 1976 - spouted as their version of barbarella. oh my. it was indeed outlandish and lurid with a hint of nudity but just a bit eh. not entirely bad, just odd.


and i missed my tram by 2 minutes and couldn't be bothered waiting, so walked home at midnight.
