I'm not sure what I keep doing to my phone, but today it set itself an hour behind again, so I woke up an hour late for cleaning. It seemed to take forever today. Dane's brother (who was out on Saturday) had told me that if I came into his work, he'd make me a coffee so I could compare his to Dane's. He works in a café called 'The Cultural Place' which has aboriginal artwork. He managed to make a pattern in the coffee (something I've never been able to do) an...

I'm not really sure about Chats' managerial skills- I was the last person to start my evening shift, and so surely it would have made more sense to send Bella home after her 2 hours than keep her on to close and send me home after only an hour and a half. We get a burger or wrap if we do get sent home early, but I wasn't really hungry for my avocado and mushroom wrap, so shared it with Alice. At least it meant we both left at a reasonable time to get ready to g...

Today was an excellent day for getting free food; Dane made me a bacon and egg sandwich, Emilie (the Swede) invited me over to her hostel to make Pad Thai, my kids pasta I claimed as my free meal from work was turned into a bit of a glorified version (nicer sauce, and with leftover chicken) and then Alana, Josh's fiancée, persuaded him to let me and Alice share a free mud cake. He also gave me a vodka and coke! I had wanted to contribute an Asian style desser...

I went to Rusty's today and brought a banana flower, some watermelon (which I got for 20 cents cheaper than it said because she picked up the $1.20 piece I picked out, out it down, then picked up another piece for $1.40 and handed to me). Some weird man came up to me and said "I like music, the way the fiddle plays the notes. My mother is Captain Cook. 4th generation." And shook my hand. Jake very rudely told me I had hale marks (i.e. cellulite). After work...

I was in a very, very silly mood today, which made the whole day incredibly fun! Me and Bex were laughing non-stop. We went to a bottle shop (so that she could get some beers for Garnett races; where she was supposed to already be, but Barry had to work today so they left this evening) and Coles, and then walked to Botanical Gardens. It was slightly pointless, as once we got there we realised neither of us had Insect repellent on, and around that area is a high...
