Today was Stacey's birthday so I went with her to buy her a birthday badge and a chocolate cake, which we dug into with forks and passed it round rather than cutting it into individual slices, whilst watching Harold and Kumar (a film). We also went to the fruit and veg market and I brought a vegetable called a choke, and some fruits called quarabias and santol. Stacey went out for a meal at Cactus Jack's with Bex and other hostel people, but I was at work so c...

Today, me, Alice, Bex and Stacey finally managed to go to Hogs Breath and share a rocky road sundae- they're not as good as a candy mania from the Hungry Horse because they don't have as much sweets in. Me and Alice also shared some cheesy garlic bread, and Bex had some chicken tenders and Hogs tail fries.

When we first arrived it was looking a bit miserable and grey, and it was rainin...

I was very annoyed that I was doing the washing up for an hour this morning, given that everybody is supposed to wash up after themselves! It prompted me to try and do some this evening so that I have less to do in the morning (I'm waking up at 4 am to do my cleaning, so that I'm ready for 8 to go for a free trip to Fitzroy island- there are two guys who aren't anything to do with the company but are travelling around every single Hog's breath in the country, a...
