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:

We Finally Have A Library

This week promises to be a very busy week. As of tomorrow, I will finally be working out of Sydenham Library. The library is currently scheduled to open around the 10th of December. This week will mean a lot of shelving and setting up, so it promises both to be fun and exhausting. However there will be no computers til at least November 20.

The house has not progressed a great deal. Skirting boards have been done, and that's about it. I think we are currently waiting on the cabinetry before they can paint.

Our calendar is already starting to look really busy. It is filling up fast with work and social commitments. I have not even started Christmas shopping yet, and have not even thought about what I'm going to get most people (maybe since Sean likes shopping he could do it all???)

I don't think I made an entry of it (have been a little lazy with the blogging as of late), but my Grandpa is home from his week and a bit in Hospital. Took him and Grandma to see the progress on the house today, as at his lowest moment in Hospital he told mum that he was just living to see my house finished, then he can die. I'm not sure if that is a good thing to say or a bad thing.

Another thing I haven't blogged about is that I am to be an uncle. My youngest sister (17 YO) has gone and got herself pregnant to some feral guy. So that is making life interesting as it appears both her and the boyfriend have no grip on reality and have gone totally feral. I think the way it has happened has taken all the joy that becoming grandparents should be away from Mum and Dad. My Grandparents and Sean all now refer to Celina and her boyfriend as the Gypsies living out of their car. Very stupid girl!

Anyway, hope you all have a great week.... A
