Chocolate eggs, a 4-day weekend - what more could we ask for? Oh wait, I know - how about good weather!? In typical Sydney fashion the 2 weeks of glorious sun and warmth disappeared instantly last night, leaving behind rain and wind. I mean, really - you could give us a little more warning than that, don't you think? I'd planned a paddle + picnic with friends today but it's not looking all that inviting right now. Still, it's not even 9am yet so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a change.
And while I'm waiting I can recap on the week that's been. I got the visa on Monday - hooray! It's ugly (as far as visas go - China, for example, was beautiful) but it was the last obstacle preventing me from making the trip so I'm feeling more than just a little relieved.
On Tuesday night I went to Elodie's house for dinner with some of her friends. Dinner was amazing - 5 courses, all hand-made, inlcuding Iles flotant for dessert. Mmmm. Her friends are great too, so it was a lovely night. The only down-side was breaking my Havianas and Marie's car running out of petrol in the middle of the city (coincidentally at the same time...ooo, spooky) on the way home.
On Wednesday night I played Wii at John's house. Holy shirt - talk about exhausting! I'm going to convince the Frenchy to buy one and claim the health benefits above the gaming experience. It'll totally work. Anyway, we ate pizza, played Wii until late, and managed to avoid being eaten by Mr Tibbs, John's 'cat' (inverted commas because it's really a not-so-small lion in disguise).
And yesterday I got the car back from the repairers. It looks amazing and will hopefully help the potential sale this weekend.
Speaking of which, the sale is going well. Most items have a buyer or taker and I'll be getting rid of a few things this weekend. I can't wait for the house to look a little more empty - at the moment it's still like it always was (i.e. crammed with stuff) - as I think having less in the house will make me feel like I'm closer to being able to leave.
Okay, enough from me. Time for breakfast.
