Last night we met Eddie the echidna
Last night seemed like any other normal night. I did copious amounts of study, my brain exploded in a fiery mess, and I decided I should go to bed. A couple of hours later, Mat and I were awoken by the incessant barking of one of our dogs. He has a couple of different tones [...]
A serious case of brain mush
Geezus, what a weekend that just passed by! Friday night Mat and I decided to have a quiet one at home. I think the fact that we both fell asleep on the couch, waking up a few hours later and dragging ourselves to bed is clear evidence that it was a very quiet one. It [...]
It’s time I learned how to cook
If you said I knew how to cook, I would laugh at you. You would also be very, very wrong. Mat and I get through the week by the most basic of cooking. Get out steak, defrost steak, cook steak on grill. Rinse and repeat with rissoles, chicken schnitzel, mince and tacos etc etc etc. [...]
Busy, busy!
It’s currently 6.48am, and I’m writing this while I wait for my breakfast to cook. It seems like this is really the only time I’ve had to blog recently (other than the quick photo of the day posts). If it wasn’t for the fact that I am returning to riding my bike this morning, I [...]
Do you name your car?
I recently discussed the fact that we got a brand new 4wd, a Nissan Navara, and so far there’s only one thing that troubles me about it. I don’t know what to call it! I have always named my cars. I’ve had Sally (saab), Gwenny (festiva), Charlie (corolla), Suzi (vitara), and most recently, young Suzi [...]
Logarithms and exponentials and linear equations…oh my!
I’m only 5 weeks into being a uni student, and already my head is filled with big words that I don’t think I’ll ever use again after the course is over. I study externally, and at my own pace. I can study whenever, wherever I want; it’s pretty great. The only catch is being such [...]
Catching up
So I have returned from my awesome Sydney weekend away, and all I can say is thank god I’m still on holidays this week. We packed so much into those 4 days that I really need a few days to recover. This week the plan is to get all the video editing done, along with [...]
Today’s August Dump – a huge pile of magazines
I looked in the cupboard underneath our tv today, and I know there is tons in there I can throw out. I saw things like old videos and DVDs mat doesn’t watch, to some old notepads of mine. Yet I couldn’t toss anything out. I will have to revisit that area for sure, bite the [...]
This month I’m doing the August Dump
It’s an interesting name for my latest challenge isn’t it? The name makes it sound like I’m doing some ginormous poop that is worthy of having the entire month dedicated to it! I can assure you that that’s not the case though. My bodily functions are working quite well, enough that I have regular sized, [...]
I’m not an environmentally friendly studier
I’ve been a uni student for approximately 3 weeks now. Well, I was a student before that as my enrolment was confirmed but the term only started 3 weeks ago. Since then I’ve discovered that environmentalists would hate me. For example, right now I have in front of me an A4 pad that I’ve been [...]
