Scorcher

Today was one of the hottest days we have had yet this year!

Chook came over to check out the new digs and by the time she got here (she’s only about 30 minutes away) she was hot.

Because I don't have air-conditioning, I have taken to dunking my tank tops in water and then wringing them out and wearing them wet to cool down.

We decided to head to the movies and ended up seeing Sherlock Holmes (which I’ve already seen) because she had free passes. It was bliss in the cinema, but still damn hot when we came out just before 5.

I got home to discover the chocolates I had in the pantry had started to melt, so had to put them in the fridge… I hate cold chocolate!!

Suburbia

Today I had to drive down to Canning Vale to pick up a dryer I purchased off a fellow employee. I haven’t been down there for years – it has changed so much!!

So many new residential areas and shopping precincts seem to have popped up.

When I got home I had fun moving the dryer from the car through to the laundry, hurting my back in the process and ended up getting some nice bruises on my arms.

Deep Thought For Today

If life is measured by time, years, months and days... how is love measured?

Again, I hope I have not plagiarised anyone, I was not having the greatest day and this was just something I thought of...

Bad Service

Danielle met me for lunch at work today.

The café across the road – Breve – was the only option. I have been there a couple of times and up until the last time I went it was pretty good, but when it takes 30 minutes just for a bowl of wedges and some garlic bread, when it’s not busy, you know it is not going to be a good experience – but, I decided to give them a second chance. Oh how I regret that now…

We both ordered garlic bread and shared wedges. You would think that both people would get their garlic bread at the same time wouldn’t you? No, mine came out 20minutes after Danielle got hers!!

Ridiculous!!! I will not be going back there ever again!!

Happy Birthday Mum

The family went to Sizzlers for dinner last night to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. We had to wait about 40minutes to be seated at a table because the place was packed!! Two little old ladies kept trying to get in front of us and I kept blocking them – much to their disappointment!

My oldest niece spent the night at my place and fell asleep 20 minutes into Harry Potter J
