Not much exciting happened today, apart from I discovered a shop behind Coles that has the same sort of scoop and weigh nuts/ dried fruit/ sweets pick 'n' mix that Coles has, except a lot cheaper- banana chips are $8.90 per kg in Coles, and only $5 something from this place! I got some to eat on my way home back from work, plus some peanut butter pretzels and some chocolate-y liquorice sweets to try (both weren't particularly that great, but still it was exciti...

had a lazy day watching Summer Heights High- a hilarious Australian comedy which is set on a high school and focuses on three characters which is all done by the same guy- Chris Lilley. My favourite character is Mr G. The drama teacher, and I really want to see his production of IKEA; The Musical! The other two characters are Ja'Mie, who is a girl on a school swap from a private school, and Jonah, a naughty Islander kid. Flo made up a breakfast of banana, m...

It wasn't as sunny as it has been recently, so I went to look round the remaining part of the ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) I hadn't yet looked at. Along the way I discovered a 'gingerbread village' which was raising money for The Last Wish Foundation.

Me and Amanda, along with Ed, Danny, Jo, Luke and Harry, enjoyed the 30° weather by going to Brighton Beach. I hadn't hung out with Harry before but he's very funny. There was talk of going for a barbeque, but since we left the beach quite late, and the second taxi didn't come for a long time, it was quite late by the time we got to Ed and Danny's, so we all brought burritos from Zambrero's in the shopping mall that's pretty much over the road for them.
