Went down to Melbourne with Jo, Nadia, Kristy H and Amelia via Virgin Blue. I was on holidays between Xmas & NY but Dave wasn’t, so I decided to crash the girls holiday. I tried to pack as much into 2 and a half days as I could. Unfortunately the other girls were going to be there for a whole week and so didn’t see the urgency of doing much each day.

Highlights for me was checking out Federation Square (I like it) and the National Gallery of Victoria, the new “Australian” one in Fed Square and the old “International” one refurbished on St Kilda Road. It was also great to catch up with Martin & Gaby at the tail end of their world tour. Their Melbourne friends really enjoy their reality television and had a big Amzing Race Finale party. There was shouting and screaming, like it was a footy final or something. It was so much fun to be with people who appreciate such fine entertainment.

I almost missed my plane on the way home as I didn’t quite know how to get to the bus depot at Spencer Street station. I should have checked in at 1:45pm, but didn’t get to the airport til 2pm, when the plane was taking off at 2:15! I was the second last person on the plane. Whew! See the pics here.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of my voice, please email me. Thank you.
I sound like the “I’m still hungreee” kitten in Babe (that pig movie).

After saying how great it’s been that I haven’t been sick so far this winter…I finally got ill.
Here’s what I’ve taken so far:
Panadeine Forte (that’s prescription only!)
Dispirin
Bisolvon
Cepacol Cough+
Natural Traditional Herbal Chinese Cough Syrup
Liquid Echinacia
Garlic & Horseradish
MultiV Juice
V8 Juice
and lots of TLC from Dave…

errr……

I am starting a new job as a Designer/MacOperator @ an advertising agency next week. My last day at my current workplace will be next Wednesday and I start my new job on Thursday. I will be working on the one very corporate account, so not very creative but very busy. I really needed a change and was tired of hearing my bosses try to kill each other all the time. I’m freaking out about starting this new job, but very happy too
It’s going to be so great to work in “civilisation” again – somewhere you get a choice of food other than a milk bar or an overpriced cafe, where you can do your shopping, banking etc within walking distance rather than be stuck in the public transport unfriendly industrial hole known as South Sydney.
