Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts lately - I've been flat out with uni and work. So this will be a short one, as I have a massive project due later today and need to put the finishing touches on it before submitting. It's worth 60% of my final marks, so it has got to be good! Here is a picture from Friday night, featuring my lovely friend Kath. She works for the ANU and was putting on an event honouring Fred Ward, a brilliant Australian designer who created many beautiful pieces of furniture at the university. His style is minimalistic and absolutely gorgeous - Dad, I reckon you would really like some of his pieces. Kath helped put on a fantastic event, and there was free bubbly!

Happy friends on a Friday evening

Hey everyone! It certainly has been awhile since my last post, so I will try my best to fill you in on what's been going on over the past several weeks. Let's see, several weeks ago, I got very ill and was sick for about a week...... so that pretty much sums up 5-6 days of the past month! I had a really terrible flu bug and it was so awful. Feeling all good now, and hope that is my only sickness this winter! That week really put me behind with uni and work, so the next week or so was crazy busy, as I had two massive projects due for my course. But, I got everything done and submitted on time, and already found out I got an HD on one of the projects! Shaun's sister, Carolyn, came to visit after that and stayed for a week or so. We spent about 5 days in Sydney, and it was so much fun. It was really lovely to have her for a visit. And that pretty much brings us up to date..... nothing too exciting to report, as you can see. It's the weekend, and this Saturday has been pretty much a waste - Shaun and I had a few after work drinks last night, and then went to check out this Malay restaurant in the city that we had never been to. BIG MISTAKE!!! The food was not that great and we were both sick all last night - we both had really terrible stomach cramps and only slept for about 4 hours. Needless to say, we have felt like rubbish today and have not been very productive. I got a bit of cleaning and washing done, and we started on our taxes, but other than that, we've been pretty useless.

Oh, I am going to start using my Flickr account again, so if you want to see some snaps from the past few weeks, have a look here.

Hope you all are doing well, and would love to set up Skype dates soon!

It's 8.43am on Sunday morning here, and I have already been awake for three hours! Couldn't sleep, so I've been up studying. Nothing like waking up when the moon is still full and bright in the sky! Oh well – at least I've been productive...... although I foresee an afternoon nap in my future!

So, I was wearing a pair of really old leggings this morning and decided to start ripping some of the tiny holes....... Why did I do this, you may be asking yourself? Well, I was really bored and it was a distraction from studying. Anyways, after I had ripped two massive holes in both legs, I showed Shaun and he very earnestly said, "Oh, that could be your Lady Gaga outfit. That's like something she would wear, right?"

This comment had me cracking up for literally 20 minutes. To be honest, I cannot stop laughing, even as I type this entry.

I should be spending the morning studying, but instead, I am outside photographing birds. I know..... I'm obsessed.

We've just had another wonderful long weekend here in Canberra, and this time, we headed over to beautiful Mollymook to spend the weekend with friends. We rented a gorgeous house right across from the beach and spent plenty of time lounging, eating, drinking, walking along the beach, and working on a gigantic puzzle. Oh, and our little baby friend Archie was there too, so there were plenty of cuddles to go around. We had such a great time, and the weather was beautiful for a winter getaway - plus, the coast house had a huge wood burning fireplace where we spent every night with wine and chocolate. I've put up a few pictures from the weekend for your viewing pleasure. What have you guys been up to lately?
