One of the dresses I brought in Thailand has ripped, so I thought I'd try and save it by turning it into a skirt, so I sewed that whilst sunbathing. It looked like it had the potential to be nice, but when I tried it on, it needed more loops to thread the waist belt through, to ruffle it in a nicer way. Having already spent an hour or so on it, I gave up there so I don't know whether I'll continue or just give up the project, but at least I felt a bit more produc...

A bunch of us (Mia, Yannick, Lucas, Olivier, Romain, Lea, Magdilin, Marco) went to Abbey Road in St Kilda for lunch- it's a cafe with lots of music paraphernalia on the walls, so it had a good atmosphere.

Amanda moved out today (she's moving into Ed and Danny's for the remaining 3 weeks she will spend in Melbourne) and Zac returned from Perth to find he had been kicked out of his room since his rent transfer hadn't worked and his phone broke so couldn't contact or be contacted. This meant we now have two large suitcases of his stuff and a didgeridoo in our room whilst he finds a house. During the day I watched an American TV series with French subtitles which I ...

I got the tram into the CBD with Mia, who was going to work, and the first stop was Woolworths and Aldi to try and find a pannetonne again, but failed in both. I had my eye on a pair of shorts from Nobody Denim ( a brand which I think is Melbournian, and hence I convinced myself it was a good souvenir), and so went to Brunswick Street after that so I could try the new shorts on with tops I would potentially buy (it's just a few doors down from Hooked). Back i...

I tried to find a reduced pannetonne quickly before I had to go to work, but could only find the one I brought for Christmas which wasn't that nice, so I'll try in another store tomorrow. According to Patel and Birren, I'll be getting paid $33 an hour for working the public holiday so I'll have earned a lot as I did a double shift of nearly 11 hours! Patel had brought me some Ferrero Rochers which was nice of him. I got to have 2 free salads as they had made mis...
