Procrastination???

Decided that I was going to study over the Easter break, and while I managed to get a bit in, I had a lot more fun burning the backyard. You see we rented this great place but to be honest it doesn't look like the yard has been looked after in years.

Nel and I got out the other day and chopped a fair bit down, but then we had to deal with the problem of where to put it all... it's not easy in QLD where there are no green waste bins. So we decided to have a bit of an authentic fire BBQ.

It's been years since I lit a fire and I'm glad to say that I've still got it. Years of day camp and a bit of time on the farm and what do you know???

We put some jacket potatoes in there for dinner which turned out fantastically. Decided that damper is my next mission, not sure if they still even sell Golden Syrup though....

So after 4 very difficult, challenging, full weeks we are finally going to get a break from uni :-) Jokes, but seriously, I think I could get used to this!

Uni is going ok so far. The content is interesting, and (for the moment anyway) I think it is even going to be interesting enough for me to finish it!

Our house is great. Haven't got any photos yet, but it's all going really well. I finally moved in with all my stuff for the first time in about 6 years. And, most exciting of all I am living with my VB couch!

Not sure if I have told that story yet... It was a cold and wintry night. Nah, jokes, it was stinking hot in Brisbane, and I had just finally after many summers of stinky feet quit my job at Payless Shoes. Amy and Corinne took me out to celebrate at the Indro Ho. On my round I went to buy a jug of VB (alright, I know, it was all I could afford at the time) and the lady asked me to fill my details on a card to go into a draw for something or other.

It turned out to be other. Seriously 6 months later while I was home from the farm for a weekend I got a call saying that I had won a 3 seater VB green velvet couch. It was possibly one of the best things that ever happened to me :-)

The point of all this, was that since I have never properly living in Brisbane for the last while, and mum isn't too bigger fan of VB green, the couch has been living at Kate and Gordon's place (bless them) and only now have I finally been able to live with it. I've included photos for your reference, just in case you were having a little trouble picturing it.



In other exciting news I have taken up Dragon Boat Racing. Well, not really taken up, I should more say I am going to try.. One of the girls said that I should bring a towel! Really, really not planning on swimming in the Brisbane River.
