Have been having fun this evening dressing up the boarders for our "Famous Characters" dress up day on Thursday. A is going as Braveheart, so have lent him a kilt and matching scarf and kilt socks. Was so so thrilled to discover the kilt is a bit tight on him :P Was worth it just to see C's face when he walked in to see A topless in a woman's skirt! Teamed with blue face paint and a white long-sleeved business shirt and toy sword, it doesn't look half bad... D is now going as Frodo as he looks like him - got him a cape and ring and he's good to go. I'm taking a bunch of them to the costume shop on Wednesday :P I will be going as Elpheba, thanks to Tenille, and plan to take plenty of photos on the day :D

On a bright note, had a really nice weekend - went to Freo with the boarders while on duty Sunday which basically meant an afternoon to myself wandering the shops and the beach on a beautiful day. Got bribed with Tim Tams by A&W during prep and B gave me a tub of his family's honey, saying that he wanted to give me some as, since "Dad" (the head of boarding) had some, it seemed only right that "Mum" have some too. Awwww :)

Was exhausted Saturday after a couple of late nights and basketball Saturday, so read, watched stuff and slept. Friday was gaming with the gang - all in all a good weekend even if I was a bit useless with the narcolepsy!

Back to posting now that I'm on holiday. Am still reeling from the depressing news yesterday that my car is costing $2500 to fix and service as it needs new brake discs and pads, and, get this, new wipers as this particular model of car does not allow you to just replace the blades - wtf??? And because it's a European model, it can only take genuine parts - hello, COST.

Anyway, they had to keep it overnight to order some parts in, so that meant walking to Midland this morning for my hair appt. And, of course, it was POURING. Thanks to the pathetic drainage system in the area, this meant wading through streams and rivers, and some truly slippery mud, coupled with the joy of being splashed by cars too lazy to move over to avoid the mini lakes by the side of the road. Was thoroughly soaked to the knees and squelching along in sodden sneakers most of the way.

Eventually made it there and had a nice chat with Mel and got my haircut. Heading back through the shopping centre, I was accosted by this young Austrian guy at one of those central stalls who insisted on straightening my hair with this "amazing" ceramic straightener called a "Herrstyler", all the while extolling its virtues and slamming my GHD - how dare he!

Finally escaped and left via the nearest exit so I wouldn't have to walk past him again. This was something of a mistake as I came out in a random section of Midland and had to wander randomly until I found my way back to the main road. Saw some interesting shops and a life-size Blues Brothers statue, gave directions to a random guy who chased me down (why do ppl always feel that I'm approachable?) and trudged bak down Great Eastern Hwy, at which point the rain obligingly started up again.

On a happy note, got back to find a parcel had arrived - I now have the most awesome new skirt, and a steampunky outfit. :D

Other than that, have had a fairly quiet week - tried out bodypump on Monday w S and discovered I like it - have plans to join the local gym so I can take the various "body" classes, lay in bed al day Tues with a killer sore throat and flegmy yuckiness but am much better now, and hung out w C yesterday. The week's almost over :( but I still have another week of holidays to go, so yay! :)

Where has the year been going? I see I haven't posted since early April. Well, suffice to say a lot has happened in that time - some good (especially lately) and unfortunately a lot bad, hence my reluctance to post, I think. Ah well, having weathered another stormy period, I'm glad to be heading out the other end of it.

Two more weeks and I'll have finished semester. I'm currently struggling through research for my last essay and will then have an exam to study for. Getting there. I haven't done as well as I'd like in these units because I've been so busy, but I'm currently averaging a distinction, so here's hoping I don't blow it with my final assignments.

Last week I went to the funeral of the husband of my best friend from high school. They met when we were in year 11 (he in year 12). He was 31 and had a heart attack in his sleep. He was in a coma for nearly 7 weeks. I haven't had much contact with those people since I left high school, but still. He's left behind a baby boy and a wife who now has to try to face life alone, for the first time in her life. I really do feel for her.

Just one fun episode in the last few months...

Recently I had a fairly terrible falling out with a very dear friend. There was nastiness on both sides, and I broke my own rule - NEVER HAVE A FIGHT IN WRITING. Seriously. It's a bad idea. However, in the long term I'm glad it happened, as it led to a lot of issues being aired afterward that might never have seen the light of day, and which needed to be discussed. Don't get me wrong. It HURT. Badly. And I thought that was it forever, but I should have had more faith. And I'm very glad I was wrong.

If you think about it, sometimes conflict in a relationship is good - if it survives the test, it strengthens it, and allows you to become closer and build a stronger trust. I've fought with just about all of you dear friends at one time or another - that we've survived it just shows me that we can always be friends - nothing is insurmountable. As for the relationships that didn't survive - it's sad, but I guess it's better to know who are real friends and who are merely acquaintances sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, I thank my friends for always being there - even when I fob you off for work or uni, or if I get my priorities wrong (I try not to, but I know I do sometimes!).

Hmmm...feeling quite introspective today - must be the horror of a looming birthday :)

Have had pretty awesome weekend, given how much of it involved work... Had an early night Friday and watched some dvds as I was exhausted from Thurs night duty. Saturday morning got up for rugby training, then headed out to shop when I was released from that. Shopped up way too big - bought some tops at Cue and dresses at Jacqui E. Ran into Vicki from Locko and had a chat.

Had duty in the afternoon/evening. Got a little boring in the arvo, but had fun taking out the boys in Rock Band and Guitar Hero, got silly on Tim Tams, Strawberry Chills and Chocolate mudcake. Was amused by the boys playing fightchasey and got in trouble for throwing the rugby ball inside. Bad me... A took me by surprise by picking me up when I caught the ball - I think he may have given himself a hernia in the process :P

Had some dramas with one of the boys coming back late after getting his heart broken - was in tears. Poor baby - teenage girls can be so cruel. Managed to perk him up after a while and got a thank you hug for my efforts :)

Today I went for a run, went to brunch then headed out to the beach for the Lord of the Flies rehearsal. Got there in time for lunch and got to catch up with Trell, Ben and Daniel. Was esp nice catching up w Daniel as haven't seen him since the NY tour. Ooh, he brought the most awesome brownies that he'd made for the occasion - so good!

Watched them rehearse, went for a swim, took some photos of the cast. Had to laught at them rolling around in the sand after getting wet for the "shipwrecked" photos. It was a good afternoon and I enjoyed just chillin by the beach - should really do this more often!

Hving an early night - another hectic week. Had a frenetic duty last night - the boys wouldn't stop rough-housing - I think they were all excited about getting to play rugby again that afternoon and were down with the tackling. Unfortunately I got caught in the crossfire whilst trying to get them to go to bed and got knocked sideways - am still recovering from a stiff neck.

This is another working weekend - duty tomorrow night, rugby in the morning and Greg's rehearsals and photo shoot for the trailer on Sunday - although it's at the beach so should be fun. Monday we have parent interviews, then Tuesday rugby...

Still, Thursday is the last day of term, then the holidays - YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

I just realised it's been 2 months since I posted. Bad me!

Such is work - I get caught up in it and time just flies by - only two weeks til the holidays! So, work is interesting and keeps me busy - have had some fun times with the boys in boarding, and some bitchy sniping - we really are like a big dysfunctional family!

Have had some fun times with the gang - the Sculptures by the Sea was a highlight, have had some hard times and an unpleasant yet important personal lesson slash wakeup call, but overall have had some really good times over the last couple of months. Have done waaaay too much retail therapy, and must really start buckling down and saving if I'm to afford a trip... wait... I mean HOUSE at the end of the year!

Will try to post a bit more regularly from now on...

Am currently exhausted yet wired from the oh so healthy boarding house dinner of red rooster, supa shakes, yogo dirt dessert, hazelnut mousse and vanilla cheesecake!

I have been shopping.

BIG TIME.

For the last 5 days in New York. Have also seen some great shows - the Little Mermaid, In the Heights and Will Ferrel's "You're welcome America" on George Bush which was brilliant.

Have wandered around, dosed up on cold and flu and kept going as much as possible! The weather's been pretty good but I'm tired of feeling cold! Plus I don't think my bank account can take much more of this!

Hi!

Went exploring round Prague today, saw some sights, did some shopping, limped back to the hotel. Learned that bandage in Czech is "obvas" :P

We head to Vienna tomorrow - I'm looking forward to it!

Okay, so I've been lax on the posting, but the UK tour was so amazing that I just didn't have time. I have time here in Prague - nuff said :)

Berlin was amazing - not a pretty city but it has such an amazing vibe - I love it! Did an alternative tour of Berlin which focused on the underground culture, graffiti and artist squats. It was really interesting and I saw some cool places. Did some shopping, especially after all that trudging through the snow DESTROYED my boots - I was squelching for the last hour! The snow is heavy and I even got to slide down a snowbank - funfunfun.

The shopping was great in Berlin and so cheap - I could have bought so much!

Did a few walking tours, saw all the Nazi, Berlin Wall and Graffiti-type sites which was really interesting - will post the photos when I get the chance. Prague was minus 9 today which made the walking tour something of an endurance test, especially when it started dandruffing on us! The palace and church here are beautiful though. Went to the communist museum today which was interesting too, although ironically housed between a Maccas and a casino!

Went to a bar last night called the Beer Factory, where you have beer taps on the table and your pour your own - they put a tally on the wall of which table has drunk the most - we won :P

Have hurt my ankle - one too many slips on the ice, so resting up tonight as pushed it too far walking today and can barely bend it! :( Am starting to look forward to returning to the heat and sunshine...

I've done so much in the last week and a half that my head explodes at the thought of typing it all out right now. Suffice to say I had an awesome week - Hogmanay in Edinburgh ROCKED, I went sledding and had a snowball fight,got drunk in the Cavern Club in Liverpool (and lost my scarf there), saw "Nessie" at Loch Ness, witnessed a fake marriage at Gretna Green and went to Oxford and Wales.

Tomorrow I'm going to London and probly seeing Wicked again for the third time in a year :P and then I fly to Berlin to start my next tour. I'm keeping a faithful diary and have posted my pics on Facebook - the rest will have to wait!

Love to all, Yols, hope you had an awesome birthday and I'll update in more detail if I can be arsed in the futured, otherwise you'll all just have to come to my eventual slide night :P

xx

So, spent much of the last few days at the Woolgers having Christmas Eve drinks, Christmas lunch and Boxing Day lunch - so much foooood.....! It was awesome though. Got to meet Gem and Meeg's boyfriends who are just lovely, and went shooting at Gem's bf's family's farm yesterday. I actually managed to hit 3 out of 8 clay pigeons!

Am now packing last minute for my trip round Scotland - I head down to London today to begin it tomorrow.

La'ers!

I've had a fairly lazy week this week...

Monday I headed into London - originally with Mel but then hung around at the station the five minutes they insist I wait before they would sell me an off-peak ticket. I then went to meet her at her office which was just up Regent St from Oxford Circus. Easy, right?

Wrong.

I went waaaay down Regent St in the wrong direction. Along the way I got to see Hamleys - the big toy store which had a ringleader out the front welcoming in the punters and a giant double decker bus inside. I also checked out Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger and Ted Baker, saw the new National Geographic flagship store and got hit on by a charity worker in the street (why does this always happen when I'm in London? Is it the accent?)

When I hit Piccadilly Circus I knew I'd gone too far, so after some txting with Mel I worked out where I went wrong and headed back up to meet her and drop off my by now extremely heavy bags.

Shoulders aching from the backpack of heaviness, I headed to Covent Garden to check out the Apple Market and David & Goliath, and general shopping around.

I ended up caving at Ted Baker and bought a bag and belt, both of which are awesome - just fell in love with them, and as they were having 20% off everything that day on a special, they were as horrendously priced as they could have been...

Headed back to collect my stuff about 4 and went to Paddington to catch my train. While there I stopped to drop off my first bookcrossing book - left it with the Paddington Bear statue and indulged my chai latte addiction at Starbucks.

This last proved foolish as I then missed my train, seeing it pull out as I got to the platform, and spilled chai on myself while trying to retrieve my ticket from my pocket. I then found out when/where the next train was leaving (which was now off-peak so I could have paid a lot less for my ticket...) and headed over to the platform.

The train pulled in, I got on, and as it was leaving, I realised it was leaving way too early - wrong train, awesome. I established from the nice old gent opposite me that I could changed at Reading. (He was pretending to work on his laptop but I could distinctly hear the sounds of games emanating from it...)

At Reading I managed to change without toooo much of a wait, and made it to Hungerford only 45 minutes after I'd originally planned. I rang home to see if someone could pick me up only to find there was no car there. Mid-convo my phone died, it's battery finally giving up on me, so I headed to the high street to look at the bus schedule and find a payphone. Found that, luckily, the three-hourly bus was leaving in only 20 mins, tried to ring home to let them know I was catching it but it failed to connect. I figured I'd be home before Ian anyway, so caught it.

Walked up the street in Ramsbury from the bus stop, passing what I later found out was Carole doing the Lions collecting (passed Santa looking very cold in his sleigh)and walked in to find the family mobilising. Ian had just arrived home and they were preparing to go searching for me, figuring I'd be looking for a payphone.

Amy, Meegan and I then went to the Woolgers' to house/dogsit. We watched the end of Stardust on Sky then watched a film with Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightly about their relationships with Dylan Thomas - brilliant film. Wish I could remember the name of it...

Got up about 10 and walked Beluga and Gordon with Amy, then we headed home briefly then out to Swindon to do some shopping. Stocked up on cheap tights and socks at Primark and even found myself some £8 skinny jeans so that I finally have jeans I can wear tucked into the boots and actually have a hope of staying semi-dry. More shopping ensued, and then we got Cornish pasties from the Cornish Bakehouse and headed out to Marlborough where we picked up a gilet for Carole as it was her birthday.

Ran into Will while we were there so went to the Castle & Bull for coffees (which he kindly scammed for us from his mate who was working there) and met Carole. That night we had dinner (and the cakes we picked up for Carole at Waitrose) and went through the ritual of hiding her presents and giving her clues to find them (a Walker tradition). We then went to an advent carol service in Lyenham (magnificent old church which was apparently used to film a scene in Sense and Sensibility).

I then stayed up waaaay too late that night trying to do the damn wasjig Amy got out. This, for the record, is a cool jigsaw which gives you a picture, then the puzzle is of what one of the characters in it is seeing. Gives you clues but then you have to work out the picture yourself.

Wednesday was largely devoted to the wasjig and watching Disney channel, which Amy mocked me for. In the afternoon I went for a walk with Carol about 3.45. I mention the time as it starts getting dark around 4 at the moment.

We headed on up into the muddy field and down a track in the woods. Then Carole got lost, not sure where to go from there. We came out into another field, crossed it to find another, then another. By this time the sun was well and truly setting and civilisation was nowhere in sight. I, of course, had left my mobile at home, so we were on our own. I was navigating by the direction of the sunset as we climbed through thickets and barbed wire fences. Could see a village in the distance at the bottom of the hill and at this point didn't care if it was the right village - just wanted a road and lights before it got too dark to see.

Made our way down the hill, through more woods and fences (luckily spotted the electrified fences) and through a farm. Came out to find it was indeed Ramsbury and made it home a mere two hours after setting out. Am hating the wellies right now though as I have a bruised toe on one foot and a blister on the heel of the other.

That night we got a visit from a genuine peddlar, a victim of the recession and now self-employed who of course Carole invited in. I then watched the Royal Variety performance and worked on the wasjig some more.

Yesterday I addressed Christmas cards for Ian's work contacts, went to Wantage with Carole to collect the last of the personal items from the Peugeot as it's being scrapped following Amy's accident, grabbed lunch and did the recycling in Marlborough then headed to the place Gemma is housesitting to feed and walk their horse-like dogs.

Again, it was dark by this point, and as I was walking down the dark driveway I stepped half in a pothole and crashed to the ground quite spectacularly. Sprained my ankle mildly which meant I couldn't do the Lions doorknocking with Carole last night - I felt really bad about that.

But I did enjoy my soak in the bath in the warm instead...

Today went to help out at the Jubilee Centre with Amy - set up the projector and helped a few of the olds get about, but didn't really do too much. Tonight is Ian's birthday, so I'm guessing we'll probably hit the pub...

Okay, slight change of plan today - hit the Christmas markets. There was a German Christmas market on the south bank of the Thames today, with lots of cool stuff and foods for sale. `Had a krakauer (cheese sausage) and a German sweet dumpling with had cherry sauce in it and was covered in custard and cinnamon - can't remember the name of it but it was awesome.

Also went to the Winter Wonderland, named for the 17th century festival they used to have on the Thames when it froze over. To get there, we walked from the south bank past Westminster, Buckingham Palace and Hyde, Green and St James parks. Along the way we encountered a large crowd of skating Santas, reindeer and elves, some of which were rather disturbing...

The Wonderland had similar stalls, more food like Dutch pancakes and waffles and we stopped for some hot chocolate and egg nog as we were pretty cold by this point.

From there we walked up to the Serpentine to check out a modern Indian art exhibition and then walked down to the V&A Museum. There the group went for coffees and I went for a wander through the galleries - highlights were some Rodin statues, a recreation of Trajan's Column and some gorgeous Art Nouveau furniture.

By the time I was done there it was long since dark, so headed back home. Am currently chilling on the couch watching Sky and wasting time on Facebook :P

And it just took me 3 goes to get the letters of London in the right order...yeah, I'm with it. Also wrote year first, not yeah...

I'm spending the weekend with Carmela and Tony. Thursday night I discovered I still can't escape tupperwareness even halfway across the globe as Carole had a "pampered chef" night - it was kinda fun though, and Amy and I perfected the art of making mulled wine for it, even when we had to switch from Jacob's Creek to generic SA woodsy wine. After nearly cancelling it because Carole worried no one would come, we had a great turnout and a good night, and they even scored some free stuff from the sales.

That day I went to Hungerford with Gemma for the Christmas Fair and had a wander around the shops while I was there. Gemma was working it so when I got bored I headed back on the bus. Went for a walk around and did try to scope out a running route but between ice and mud it seems a fairly suicidal option around the area... what to do... at the moment, nothing...

Caught a lift into London with Jarvis on Friday. When I got it, couldn't decide what to do. I mean, I did a lot of the touristy things in Jan and it was freezing, so didn't really want to be wandering around out in the cold too long... noted that on the nearest underground line when I got to Waterloo from dropping my stuff at the di Prinzios' house I could get straight to Bond St. Shopping it is - the fates decided...

Spent most of the day in Debenhams and House of Fraser, and already bought a bunch of clothes. Awesome clothes...

Met Carmela for lunch at Starbucks and then met up with her again when she got off work. Met Calvin, her partner, and went for drinks in Carnaby St with them and Calvin's friends Ross (SO much fun in a Julian Clary kinda way) and Emily. Got fairly drunk as had little to eat or drink all day. Oh, and you'll be delighted to know I continued with my tradition of dumping wine all over near strangers - gestured and knocked my glass of rose alllll over Calvin...

Met up with Tony for dinner a bit later - had Italian at Sergios. It was pretty awesome and all the bread and lasagna soaked up a lot of the alcohol, although the limoncello kinda undid that a bit. We had this grumpy old Italian guy serving us who would randomly wander up to us and look disapproving in between throwing down tablecloths and plates on cleared tables.

After dinner we went to Salvidor and Amanda's, a cool Spanish bar with a Dali theme. It was downstairs with framed screens showing Dali's work and bullfighting posters, and lots of old wooden furniture. There we met a bunch of their friends for drinks. Hung out and chatted a while and mocked the guys group dancing in the gazebo, then Mel eventually took pity on me and escorted me home as I was literally falling asleep - damn jetlag!!!

Today slept in for aggggeeees as it is pouring with rain and windy. In fact, completely failed to leave the house today. Just sent Mel and Calvin out for food while I lazed in front of the tv - bad!

Hopefully the worst of this weather will have blown itself out by tomorrow morning so we can hit the markets... Camden and Covent and Spitalfield - oh my!

and it's freakin miserable weather...

Got in yesterday morning at stoopid o'clock and came back to Wiltshire via Weighbridge so Ian could check on a job he's been working on. It's particularly cool this winter (yesterday was a balmy 2 degrees...) and recession has everyone pretty miserable around here. Still, it means the sales are good as they try to attract the Christmas shoppers :P It's still so cold now at 11 in the morning that there is still ice on the roads...still, fingers crossed for a white Christmas!

Went into Marlborough with Amy yesterday to do some shopping - or at least cruise the new shops in the High Street and stock up on cold and flu stuff as I seem to have picked up some kind of dreaded throat lurgy just prior to leaving the country. There are some funky new shops there that I will have to explore more thoroughly when I have more time. Amy was getting her hair cut, so I met her and Carole in the hairdressers where we sipped mulled wine while they cut her hair. Cruise some shops afterward then picked up the ingredients to make our own mulled wine that night - love the stuff!

As for the flight, well, I don't know why I ever let Jared talk me into flying Royal Brunei again - the lack of alcohol on their flights makes the crap service that much harder to bear. Don't freakin wake me up to give me a freakin hot towel and then get cranky when I now want a glass of water! The first leg the plane was so old it didn't have individual screens or adjustable headrests - I watched our one movie - Journey to the Centre of the Earth (which was fairly lame) and a doco on the history of the aluminum [sic] can. Truly thrilling. All this and I had finished my novel long before the 5 hour wait was over at Brunei airport; the world's smallest and dingiest airports - makes Joburg look like paradise. Got molested by a security official in Dubai when they made us get off the plane for precisely 20 minutes while they refeulled - just enough time to get out, get the most disturbingly thorough patting down for potential weapons I've ever, be forced to remove all belts and shoes, wander downstairs and get straight back on the plane into our old seats. So pointless.

Still, I'm here now and the weather isn't getting to me as much as the locals as I haven't had to put up with it as long as they have. Was very jetlagged yesterday - I did sleep a bit on the flight, but kept getting woken up. I managed to watch the Mummy 3, Ghost Town and Wall-E, as well as most of Swing Vote before they switched it off half an hour before the end of our flight, forcing me to miss the ending - good one...

Crashed pretty early last night around 9 after trying to nap in the afternoon but getting woken up by familiy (probly just as well) and struggling to stay awake through dinner - the wine probably didn't help either... Am going shopping with Carole today and we have some kind of Tupperware-like party tomorrow night with these pots and pans which is like a big dinner party. Then I'm planning to head down to London for the weekend on Friday with Jarv in order to catch up with Carmela and Tony - should be fun.

Hope everyone is well and having fun, and that summer will eventually arrive!

Put your MP3 player thingy on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty five songs. Post the poem that results.

This is a song for Carol
Here I am
King Kong in Cannes
Little sister why do you walk alone
Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
It's 12 o'clock and it's a wonderful day
Don't ask me what you know is true
Sometimes I feel so alone
Welcome to feeling
Oh my love, please don't cry
You may notice certain things before you die
The mountain is high, the valley is low
I want to break free
What I've got you've got to give it to your mama
Felt someone calling me into the howling of the wind
My insides all turn to ash
Oh my, oh my God, in my mind they got us singing suicide
When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, tala
We're playing those mind games together
Just the two of us
I met her at the Sailor's Arms
That's the one
Your gun went off - you shot off your mouth and look where it got you
I'll tell you anything but not the truth
Everything is open; nothing is set in stone

Had the most random, bizarre dinner tonight with the boys - S was in one of his psycho moods, A was great sport to mock and rose at every jibe, and C sat at another table which was just awesome. The steaks, for once, weren't overdone - nice and medium, although with hollandaise on them which is a bit random...

Decided I didn't want my crepes and went off to get a tea - came back to find them covered in pepper courtesy of S, then when he demanded salt of A, he took the stopper out of the cellar and emptied its contents over his steak. S dumped his hollandaise-soaked serviettes in V's crepes, who then threw them at him, which I figured was fair, and peppered S's crepes when A salted his steak. T commented that I was wearing "sad pants" as I fronted to dinner in my "I don't care how I look I feel like crap" A&F trackies, and said that I couldn't be a sad person as I was a sarcastic person - highest praise from him.

AM gave me one of his bear hugs when he saw me which are always nice and then, on the way back, we met the cadets heading out to serve at the SG dinner, AB ordered them to attack S and they prompted up-ended him, despite being 3 years his junior.

Thus weird weather makes freaks of all teenagers...
