New Year's Day, being New Year's Day and having had a very fun New Year's Eve, we never did make it to the drive-in. We were good though, for my sister and I went for a good long walk in the cool evening air.
The next day we went to see The Bee Movie, but my beef stroganoff took longer than I thought it would to cook, so my two sisters and I ended up going to see the film showing fifteen minutes later, which just happened to be Enchanted. And this was a good thing because we all loved it. Those cockroaches did a remarkably good job on the bathtub, and the rats cleaning the toilet were so cute with their little scrubbing brushes. It is a very satisfying piece of Disney fluff.
Today I met a couple of friends from my TAFE course for tea in Morpeth at Tea Lovers and Coffee for Others. Such a nice little shop, but we decided to sit outside so we were fighting off the flies and the sparrows. I wish the sparrows would eat the flies instead of hanging around for crumbs. They were prepared, though... there was a roll-on Aeroguard in the centre of every table. Only trouble there is you can't roll it on your food, and the reek of it somewhat ruins the taste of the tea. After that we went around to the alpaca products shop and the sparkly things shop. I bought two sparkly hair clips to wear to work.
After that I stopped home for a quick lunch before going shopping with my sister-in-law. We've never really spent time alone together, so it was very nice. We were on a mission for cheap christmas things to be used next year and for stuff that was on sale in DJs so she could use up her two gift vouchers that were about to expire.
Tonight I really should pack, but I think I'll leave it to the last minute tomorrow morning before flying out. I'm taking my youngest sister with me so she can have a week long vacation at my house. We're gonna have fun.
