Well as we all know, there has recently been quite a lengthy period where moi was internet-less at home. This has obviously resulted in a bit of a dry spell on the blog front - but mostly only due to connectivity, not just to a lack of bloggable items. Actually, I had taken some pics and so on with the intention of updating, but of course, never actually got around to it. So, here they are - with an albeit brief explanation...
So as you know, Dad has been helping me out most weekends with trips to IKEA, trips to fix things on my house and so on - but all this takes time away from his preparations to get his boat ready for their trip up north. So a few weeks back, it was payback time... I had to do some sanding, some varnishing, some screwing in of wooden panels on the roof of the boat... it was quite intense actually...
Funnily enough, that afternoon, after working on Dad's boat, I headed into the city to go see a movie with a friend from school. We saw Beautiful Kate (a totally bizarre film, give it the miss, seriously) at the Regent. The Regent is one of the oldest cinemas in Brisbane - and one of the most beautiful - as you can hopefully see from some of my photos below...
In the fashion of Ken, who used to fix my car in England quite regularly (let's be honest, it broke down a lot) - or prepare it for the dreaded MOT - here is Dad fixing the lock on my driver's side door. I went through a period where the only way I could get in and out of the car was through the passenger side door - not very dignified, I assure you! And you get lots of interesting looks from people at the supermarket, or kids at school, when you enter and exit a car that way! Lucky Dad was able to fix it - he even had to fashion a part out of a piece of metal!
Bookclub: I was invited to come along to bookclub with the ladies at church. It was actually a really lovely evening, and no one seemed to care that I actually hadn't read any books so I wasn't really able to contribute very intelligently to the discussion! There was a theme for the evening, which was Sci-Fi - and that meant you could come dressed up as something sci-fi (but I didn't), bring some sci-fi food (I brought some thin chocolate sticks which I renamed "Lightsabers"), and play the sci-fi quiz (which was in two levels, beginners or Louise - and we won the beginners, whilst Louise, of course, won the Louise level). Hehehe...
Here's Louise and a friend dressed as hobbits:
Karen and Karen as Star Wars characters Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper disguise)
And Louise wins the "Louise" level of the quiz!
Phew! So that's all for now folks!
