Today Lena and I had an adventure maybe even a life changing adventure: we missed a turn off on Centenary Mwy and ended up at......Orion! Springfield Lakes Town Centre!!!!
The sky was blue the clouds white and puffy then it just appeared it was enormous slightly frightening: everything looked the same rows and rows of houses large brick and rendered orifices, big signs with things like Brookwater Estate (just like the shiny brochure in the courier today) We used our time there well, BIG W and Aldi then we made the decision to tackle Woolworths. WE made it out , only to find the roads weren't in our book we needed TOM TOM, no we had nothing but our wits. it was long and it was not pretty but we made it to Goodna then felt safe everything was a looked little disheveled just how we like it.Nearly cried at the moggill ferry Thank God we are home we cheered!!
Then I read half of Kathleen Noonan piece and felt a little unsettled at my own judgmental thoughts about where I live, then I remembered I grew up in Wagga Wagga so really I am only going with what I grew up with, older, lots of trees and not all the same. you love what you know!!!!

Happy New Year

It is now the 2nd day of the year.
Having worked early yesterday
we finished off the Sound of Music
and went to bed early.
only to be woken by the rumbling tummy.
The joys of the aging body and years of shift work.

my week:
fly to Sydney Monday lunch Karen's, dinner Holiday Inn Mascot while studying for Eps
early start, banana nectarine and green tea for breakfast at about 5am.
stress of eps inappropriate timing of snacks, Karen's for party this was lovely.
food, plane, home
get up at 2.30am for work and from there a down hill slide of whatever is close when I had time to eat
nice dinner at home, too lategoing to bed, early start for an Isa return so again only crap food.

Should I make a new year "revolution" as Lena asked yesterday,
I don't as a rule eat crap, it just sometimes the schedule just gets away with me.
and the end result is a day of feeling crap, it will pass

I am about to make a pavolva with miss lena for our visitors tonight our 2nd attempt
if Julie from the movie could cook through the flu I can cook and play with a slightly unhappy
tummy.
maybe I just need a good plate full of prunes?
