I had a great weekend - a four day weekend joy. Felt like a mini holiday. My friend came over on Thursday morning, she's moving interstate in a few weeks so it was great to spend time with her. We went walking in the national park a few minutes behind us, and on the beach in front of us, went to the saturday markets, cooked up great food and drank great wine and played board games and discussed and debated. t'was fine indeed. I will miss her so much - since moving down here I haven't found anybody else to relate to so much, oh, 'cepting Vlad he is great bar he doesn't seek to 'expore nature' and all that jazz. That's okay i have my doggy to come with me - Dogs are allowed in the national park between sunrise and 9am.
This was a bunch of rocks on the beach of the national park. The tide was coming in. It was a really nice sunny day but the photo came out a little gloomy.
Watched a few DVDs this weekend. Aliens of the Deep - pretty good and spectacular scenery; AlienGods - crap I fell asleep; Abyss - very good though a couple of stupid bits but I definately would watch again; Return to Oz - of course it was good! :D Just have 20 000 leagues under the sea to watch - maybe tonight. Bit of a water theme you might have noticed.
We went to the Book Barn and it was having a sale. Picked up my ordered copy of 'Legend' by David Gemmel, also bought 'The Elder Gods' by Terry and Leigh Brooks and 'Washington and Caesar' by Christopher Cameron which looks pretty good and out of the genre I usually read in. Bout the American civil war which I don't know much about, but his writing looks intriguing. I actually organised the bookshelf, am missing a few of my favourite books that I leant out to work colleagues from my old job and never got back :( My fault I should have chased them up. We seem to have acquired a whole shelf of Raymond Fiest books lol. I have about 6 unread fiction books and about the same in non-fiction to read before I am allowing myself to blow more money at the bookstore. Next is to organise our Cd & dvd collection and try and find/locate all those missing ones. That will be a big job. Then I have to try and get Vlad to not destroy the organisation!
Dad polished up my baby grand because mum advertised it in the papers properly this week. I hope someone wants to buy it but I'm also so sad to sell it. But it's just taking up space in their home and I don't think it would travel the 2400km good to bring it down here - plus I have no room for it. I will miss playing it though - hell I already do. I told them to sell my guitars that are still up there as well, but not the piano accordian I'd like to bring that down, or my old typewriter that they got me when I was about 10 or something so I could type up my stories lol. I want to use that as an ornament when one day I get my own office. Man I've still got so much stuff up there. I'll have to drive up for a holiday one year and bring all my books and stuff down. Then I'll need to add another bookshelf to our office - where I don't know there's no more wall space lol with two big desks already and a keyboard stack against the couch. I think I'll take the couch out it won't get used anymore. I designed my dream office the other day. pentagram shape with the wider wall having a lil fire place and all the swords on it, the others with built in bookshelves - okay so it's more of a lil library not an office, maybe two offices joining onto it would be nice. One for me and one for Vlad. Oh and of course two lush chairs in the library with footstalls and and little table and drink stand Lol now I'm dreaming. Vlad wants a secret chamber leading off from one of the bookshelves lol how cool. maybe it could lead to our offices.
*pipe dream*
Back to reality...I have laundry to finish - always laundry.
