I miss camping. Maybe i should become a gypsy. As devastating as it was having to set up my $15 k-mart tent (of terrible quality) in the rain (and on more than one occasion we actually considered sleeping in the front and passenger seats) it was all kinds of excellent not knowing what would happen the next day and boiling hot water over a very disappointingly assembled campfire (my fault) and meeting awesome people you wouldn't normally talk to back home. I miss drinking tea with european backpackers and having conversations with couples while their kids paddled in a creek. Also this one possum that stuck it's head in my tea cup for like 10 minutes and then scuttled off into a tree where it proceeded to stare at us for what i can only assume was a long time. We got bored and went to sleep. Good times! And now i'm back in the same town i've lived in since i was 5. Not so exciting but i guess it's cool to have a place you know you'd always be able to come back to.

Just one more year and i'll be holidaying madly around the UK and Ireland with my good mate Bec and a few of her old England friends. And then i might have to become a gypsy as i have no other ideas if what should happen with my life. Hang on, i'm annoying myself. I'm going to suggest that i shut up and stop talking about the future's uncertainties

rain


it's been raining for waaay too long now... it's the eighth day of summer and it's been raining for the last few months with only the (extremely) odd sunny day on occasion. worst summer and spring ever! i love the rain, but not when it's supposed to be picnicking and bike riding and camping season. not a cool way to start the christmas holidays. anyway, enough about the rain.. although i was really only going to complain for a little bit so i'm not sure what to say now. i'm reading the perks of being a wallflower, it's pretty good. perfect book weather, i'm not gonna lie
the front yard being wet. the usual. i thought at least with the rain my beautiful tomato and snow pea seedling would grow accordingly but this did not happen (my cat sat on them, the usual complaint)

new year

yesterday i had some friends over, while we were waiting for the rest to arrive i arranged these dolls in what i thought were extremely amusing positions.

i'm pleased with my nails in this picture :)

we drank, we ate, it rained and we had to wait in a picnic shelter for 2 hours til the lighting stopped. good times
happy new year!
