Max and Marvin (two of our German roommates who were leaving today) were still up partying when I got up to start cleaning. A girl who was up with them made my morning by making me a proper ground coffee to wake me up a bit more. Today at work we had a big group booking for a charity for kids who are ill, and it seemed really fun all the games the leader of the charity was making them play- drawing pictures with their eyes closed, making things out of balloons...

I went on a mission today to find a Hawaiian shirt for next Friday- I could have sworn I had seen some in all of the gift shops that are dotted around but I couldn't find one. I ended up getting one from an 'op shop' (charity shop) for $7.95- gutted it's nearly a whole week away until next Friday as I'm quite excited to wear it, along with one of the lays from the Woolshed that they give out on Tuesday evenings.

According to Alice (who was at work, I had the day off) the result was 41/42- the one mark being lost was that their overall verdict was that the meal was too expensive- i.e. nothing to do with the service!

Sammi had leant me and Dane his car for the day so that we could go to Port Douglas- I wanted to check out a different Hogs Breath to compare. Whilst I was getting used to driving again, and to an automatic car with the indicators on the right (which doesn't make sense to me!), I don't think Dane felt very safe in my hands, but eventually I got the hang of it, which is good as the road to Port Douglas is very windy (as in lots of turns not gust of wind).
