Howdy All!
I am feeling very good. The weather had warmed up for quite a while even though it is quite a bit cooler again. I have be doing quite a bit of tutoring and I have gotten a job at Jane Anns school as a teachers assistant for 1 month while the regular one goes away. That should be pretty good. I went to her school yesterday and met her class and generally helped out with stuff. It was pretty fun. All of the kids asked me questions and I got to perpetuate all sorts of scary Australia myths. That was fun.
It was weird because none of the kids were wearing a uniform and they either had just socks on or they had slippers. Eventhough it hasn’t been snowing much lately, all of the students take their shoes off before they come inside. That was strange.
Melissa. I got your Easter gift. That was REALLY nice. Especially as it was unexpected. I have found that I especially like to get the photos you send. They are cool! I am glad the stuff I sent has started to arrive. I was a bit worried that all of the stuff would be wrecked because it might have all fallen in the Ocean! But it seems as if it is ok.
I have been noticing some very familiar commercials on tv here. There is the McDonalds one where the girl who used to be on Home and Away goes around and gets people to try the deli sandwiches and when she asks people where they came from Ronald McDonald walks up. This is the coolest because you can see a MYER sign in the background. They are all dubbed into American voices though. And also the ad for Dine cat food where the girls cat is called immelda and eats her shoes before she gives the cat dine. Except the cat food here is called Cesar. It is also dubbed into American.
I am mourning the loss of Gene Pitney. Thank you all for your suggestions of cause of death on the last journal, but I think Mrs James win with her suggestion of avoiding having to go get the pension! I thought it was quite fitting that Gene, as a rather saccharine rock, star should die in his bed of natural causes. It just would not fit for him to die of a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning.
The pictures of the pink house are AWESOME! I must say your sweet potato is a bit impressive. I got a bit sad thinking that I missed out on things like that! I miss all the scheming.
I have found myself with cravings for Australian food. The chicken and the avocado salad from charcoal chicken was the first to come in. Ohhh… I could go a bit of that now. And also sausage rolls. I have decided I will make some sausage rolls though so it’s not like it is something I cannot have if I really want.
Brento and Laura, best of luck for your wedding. I am still working on my telegram but I will send it before the big day. Must dash.Ok, toodles.
