Weekend Away

This weekend I went to my sisters 18th up at Cobram. This is the sister we refer to as the 'bush pig' for very good reasons. After spending time up at her grotty housing commission place up there, you feel very thankful to return to your nice clean home.


Her party was at lunch time on Saturday, so we drove up Saturday morning (we took my grandparents with us), and stayed up there at a cheap little 'bates style' motel.


At the party my sister also announced she had a surprise (which my grandmother returned with 'you better not be pregnant again!') it turns out they have now decided to get engaged. not that I can ever see it being more than an engagement as it would probably impact on their Centre link payments!


We drove home yesterday (Sunday) and stopped for lunch and a coffee on the way home to break up the 3 hour journey.


On the Harry Potter front I finally finished reading the Deathly Hallows last night, though I will say no more in case you have not read it yet or heard the ending.


I have uploaded some photos of my niece to Flickr, which are below:

I'm Still Alive!

I thought I better write a post as I have been really slack lately and havn't blogged in ages.

Well, what do I have to report?

Work:

Nothing much has changed at work. It's still there. They have opened up the new entrance to Watergardens shops near the library now, so we have a nice quick walk through to the shops. Unfortunately this new entry has not provided as much passing trade as we would like, so it has been pretty quite still.

Home:

Today Sean and I went to the Gisborn market in the morning, then up to Mt Macedon for lunch (there is a photo of the Memorial Cross at Mt Macedon on the left). We did some grocery shopping on the way home to last the week and that was pretty much the excitement for our weekend.


This coming Saturday we are going up to my sisters 18th birthday party in Cobram. The whole family is pretty much going, and Sean and I are driving up taking my grandparents with us. The party is Saturday afternoon, so we will stay overnight on Saturday and drive back home on Sunday.
Anyway that's all my exciting life for now! I will try and make my next post more glamorous!
