Just a quick one
Yay holidays in only 2 days!!
I don't know what to wear for drinks to celebrate on friday night, I feel like getting dressed up but there are no good shops up here and I won't have time to get anything new when I get back. I may already have the perfect outfit to wear, but I have sorta forgotten which clothes I own while I've been living up here with a "capsule wardrobe".
Today I went back to the Curdnatta gallery to try and buy the fabulous hand dyed marbled fabric I saw. I fell in love with it when I saw it, but having no idea about dressmaking wasn't confident the length they were selling could be used for my purposes (a long ball dress) so I didn't buy it. Unfortunately they were closed today. Oh well. Will try again if I get time tomorrow. They sell it in 2.5m pieces, which is unlikely to be enough for a long dress but still could be nice for a cocktail length dress depending on the fabric width, cut of the dress and pattern on the fabric.
I watched the election coverage, and was really pleased to see Obama win. I hope that he retains the support he has behind him at the moment, and that his passion is translated into action for the country. On ABC lateline special they had a really cynical English political commentator, and I felt sorry for the host Tony Eastley, who was struggling to control this guy who kept changing topics during his answers. If I were him I would be thinking "I'm never having him back on the show!" He did raise some very interesting points, so it was probably worth the effort.
I have been going to bed later and later this week for some reason, so I am going back to my flat now and goig to try and get a good night's sleep this time! Lots to do tomorrow (assist in theatre for two lap choles and god knows what else, pack up all my shit, clean the whole unit) Driving home Friday afternoon looks to be a likely option as the theatre list isn't too packed, and no major cases on it that I could see. Just the usual endoscopies, colonoscopies, skin lesions etc.
