I've been almost entirely without internet for four days straight.
This was not good.

In the meantime, lots of things have been happening...

( pink milk, and hospital gowns )

1) Skirts are so much nicer than pants - unless said pants are jeans.

2) Drinking ginger beer CORDIAL without diluting it first will really wake you up ( Read more... )

I really am rather in love with our coffee machine.

Which is kind of weird, because I don't drink coffee.

But my work has a spectacular coffee machine that can produce fifteen different varieties of coffee, and the most delicious hot chocolate I've had in ages.
For free.

I take advantage of this as often as possible.

The government decided to give all us public servants free health checks. And, according to health check nurse, my cholesterol is WAY too high ( Read more... )

I had a milkshake with lunch.
And I know I'm going to feel queasy for the rest of the day, but I don't CARE. It tasted WONDERFUL!

There are some things in my life that officially qualify as awesome:

All in all, I counted 6 books sneakily referenced in the middle of conversations, plus another 3 books talked about specifically.
Plus they had the whole Revealing The Murderer scene at the end! And cyanide! And jewel ( Read more... )

I can make rissoles!  Proper rissoles! That actually stay together and everything, rather than collapsing in a mincey heap the moment I try to flip them!

I'm a success!

In other news, I had a visit from my sister and Caleb this afternoon, and he is as adorable as ever.

*happy sigh*

Today my mum made me a sandwich for lunch.

Except it wasn't exactly a sandwich. A sandwich is to my lunch, what an onion is to a blooming onion.

It was all laid out on a plate, like they'd do it in a fancy restaurant:
-bread (with crusts cut off), cut into 'soldiers' and arranged in a circle
with
-shredded cheese
-diced tomato
-lettuce leaves
and
-salmon

I got a birthday cake last night.
And yes - my birthday was nearly a month ago. But one of the people in my small group had her birthday this week, and because I joined the group after my birthday, they decreed that the birthday cake was for both of us. Yay!

It was a funky cake, too - straight out of the Women's Weekly kids book.
