So… how about that lovely weather we’ve been having the past couple of days? Pffft. It’s meant to be warming up at this time of year, not going back to nipples-screaming arctic weather, complete with heavy rain and gale-force winds. Geez - get with the month already - this is the southern hemisphere!

M’s making a stew for tea tonight. I am absolutely starving, and I don’t know whether I can wait two more hours until it’s ready. We both contemplated ordering pizza tonight, and having the stew tomorrow, but it does smell really good, and I’m looking forward to eating it. If I haven’t gnawed my arm off in starvation in the meantime. We have no snacks in the house at all - how can that be? We went shopping after work, and had the healthiest basket I’ve ever had - vegetables, meat, bread and milk. Of course, anyone looking at it would think that that’s the sort of stuff we always buy. Hahahahaha!

I’m doing a 2-day Senior First Aid course starting on Monday. I’m one of the first aid officers at work, and seeing as I know virtually nothing about first aid, it was fairly prudent that I get some training. So by the end of Tuesday, I should be your one-stop First Aid shop. I’m just worried that by the time I need to use it, I’ll have forgotten what to do. Never mind - to use an Aussie expression, “She’ll be right, mate!” I hope.

This weekend was meant to be the celebratory dinner for having finished everything with M’s house, but we haven’t finished everything yet. There isn’t much to go though - just move the rest of the stuff out, and clean the house; we should be finished tomorrow. We thought we could go tomorrow night, but after cleaning all day we probably won’t feel like going home, getting ready, and going out again. Then we thought we could go during the week, but after work we just want to go home and veg anyway. So it looks like it will be next weekend. At least that gives us the week to finish off any last-minute stuff that we mightn’t get done this weekend. But I’m really hoping there isn’t anything - we’ve spent so much time there already, and it looks so much better.
