bonjour brightside

this week was completely awful. ugh. i hope i never have to relive it again, and as much as i was annoyed and frustrated i really didn’t like being angry at others. anger always makes me feel like a bad person, so i am putting it all behind me.

anyway, on to happier things- i actually had a GREAT weekend! i met gwenda in the city for some lunching and we went into one of the cafes along flinder’s lane because it was pouring (and i finally fulfilled my craving for poached eggs!!) and it was really nice to be able to spend quality time with a friend i’ve known since my teenage years i love having friends visit melbourne, it always seems kind of surreal when they’re over cos everyone is pretty much overseas and all over the place nowadays and it’s so hard to meet up sometimes. anyway i’m glad gwenda really likes melbourne, i love melbourne and am very proud of it! although i make a very bad tour guide, just because i don’t go to the city much (i live in the burbs) and generally because i can’t read maps for nuts. :s

p.s. i would post pictures of my delicious lunch with gwenda but i brought a camera with a flat battery (classic, i know) so yeah. ’nuff said. although, we did take one picture using gwenda’s cam. on that note, i can’t believe she takes such lovely pictures without having to use a dSLR! some people are just photog geniuses

anyway here are some piccas from lou’s 21st party (which was actually suz’s 21st- complicated, i know) – this was last week

and yesterday night we had deb’s housewarming, where the theme was ‘chequered’ and i had NO chequered clothing. so i had to borrow from robin, who very kindly lent me his RL shirt which i actually kind of dig…. in a cowgirlish kind of way

i especially LOVE this picture that i took with Cat! it makes me happy

and here is mer, and big jem, who unfortunately has his leg in a plaster cast. nevertheless he was very nice and sporting to let me snap a picture!

okay, end of post. my computer is getting progressively less temperamental, i hope its a good sign. although a very clever senior of mine diagnosed my computer breakdown due to a spoilt fan (after i told him exactly what happened, with all the relevant signs and symptoms), which i think was probably spot-on!
