happy birthday julie. this is about all the effort i have left in me... it was a big night. ;)

out of town

drive to kialla, just outside of shepparton in the early evening for larissa's housewarming. a fabulous time was had, a wonderful new home and great hosts. way too much punch, and jelly syringes with leah. do not know what time i crawled into a sleeping bag, but there was little sleep and a whole lot of unbalanced turning over on the air mattress.

writing

the tv kind... there is progress. go me.

one week

yep. already i've been at miller street for one whole week. am i any more sorted than i was last thursday? um... maybe just a little. well, really quite a lot. there are a few things i'll get over the next couple of months, like more book shelves. who would've thought i'd have so many books? me! i knew. and i'm still considering giving a heap away to the local library but i have to go through them all first.

last night i managed to sort through the yards of fabric, some of which i still like. and i even had a place to store it, so that's one thing down. then accidentally fell into a box of photos, but this will take a little more time and effort and a trip to IKEA for small storage containers and albums. i came across some pics from highschool, a school camp, last day at school, and a couple of the balls - oh my! i've been chatting with a couple of friends from highschool recently and they're organising a year 10 reunion in october of this year, these pics might come in handy.

as a friend said a couple of days ago, tempus fugit.

really need that pantry now

big bag of crackers on my doorstep when i got home. some crushed but all edible. crackers and cheese anyone??

riding in cars with boys

sunday driving, i was just waiting for jamie and simon to send me the pics before i posted - then forgot to add. way out woodend/ daylesford way, it was a crazy day of u-turns, dead phone batteries, pretend vanilla slices and great company.

for the record

had a fantastic night of dancing on a floor where we could actually swing out for a change. so when i got home i felt like listening to a bit more music and having a jump around.

well, a couple of years ago for christmas, my nan gave me a new but retro record player and tonight is the first chance i've had to play it. and one year ago today my nan left 206 wittenoom. so how cool is it that i get to play records today, well tonight? hmm... the choice of music is probably not to her taste, especially when it's a 70s compilation album and right now it's spinning out "am i ever gonna see your face again??" well, maybe it's appropriate afterall. ;)

i just went through the record collection that i inherited from dad and realised that mum got all the records i want - so there might be a swap when i next get to perth (you have been warned mum - i want my abba records, boney m and i'm sure there are others...)

oh just remembered, i have snoz durante. i bought it a few years back. nan would know who i'm talking about and that's all that matters tonight. time to flip the record.
