Knitting stalkers are attempting to track me down via my blog. Knitting was so "six months ago" the new "in thing" are jigsaw puzzles. Yes, you all laugh, and then you all come over and decided to help and, in turn, understand the addictiveness of the jigsaw puzzle..... Thursday, July 25, 2002
I may be going out on a limb here, but I do believe that the 2002 winner of Big Brother 3 in London will be......Jade. Annoying /MINGING as she is, she has given us the most entertainment. Who is ever going to forget the strip quiz/drinking games when Jade ended up naked on the couch? Perhaps I can start going to bed at a decent hour on a work night when the show finally finishes. Is there any summer in England at all? When I hear about the lovely warm Vancouver weather, I am so jealous. Drizzling and chilly yet again here. Considering the forecast I am still surpised why, after searching for weeks on end, am I still unable to buy boots for work? Instead I see tiny summery sandles that you would be able to wear *perhaps* one day in an entire year in the UK selling for a fortune.... Tuesday, July 23, 2002
And so my house returns to normal. Well, as normal as "normal" can be. We had a couple of girls from Toronto staying with us the past few days. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend that much time with them, would have been nice if they had been able to spend a little more time here. Now we go back to the battle of the Australians vs the English in the house! Congratulations to Iain for passing his exams. Dinner last night was excellent, Pad Thai Noodles and a beer for £5 - most impressed! Monday, July 22, 2002
Oh yeah, nearly forgot, I made it to Edinburgh this weekend, my first trip to Scotland. Had a fantastic time, apart from being stuck in a shoe store for over half an hour due to the rain! Andrew came down to Edinburgh to hang out for the weekend. We all went out Saturday night for a few drinks, not making it home until around 3am, although I was ready to go home around 11. Sunday was sunshine and a I ventured up to Edinburgh Castle. We drove home last night. Think the Fringe Festival up there next month will be brilliant!! I remember having a crush on Dan Brodie when he was playing with his band Blue Rodeo back when we were about 15 years old. (Still looking sooooo damn good...) A meat pie, complete with "built-in" tomato sauce has been released recently in Australia. The only problem being, the tomato sauce seemed to get too warm. You could complete your meal with a jam donut warmed in the microwave, there is nothing like a jam burn on your or lips. With one scar from a meat pie, and the other from the jam around your mouth....ouch.... Sydney vs Melbourne In a discussion with a friend of mine originally from Sydney, I was not believed when I mentioned that Sydney actually had more rainfall than Melbourne. Yet AGAIN, Melbourne kicks Sydney's a@$!!!! Monday, July 15, 2002
Bogans making a come-back? Luckily I have the mullet hair cut look already happening... A couple of the most famous "bogans" would have to be Michelle and Ferret. Link to follow at a later date.... This isn't Neighbours. What would Harold say? Title of the article : Sam seperates from Pam. Pamela Anderson I shake my head in shame.... Thursday, July 11, 2002
Just read that a friend of mine attended bingo the other night. It was a regular occurence for Tara, Troy, Noel and sometimes Dani to visit the Royal Hotel on a Tuesday night for Drag Queen Bingo while I was in Vancouver. It was comedy and bingo all rolled into one. All I wanted to win was the unlimited solarium (sun bedding) voucher. The day Tara won it; and unselfishlessly handed to me, was one of the happiest days of my life. I was going to be tanned again!! Nellie, you make me laugh! Love the wrestling picture.....

My friend Mezz arrives here on Friday night. Will be good to have an 'old friend' around. Its been a while, over a year and a half in fact, since we've actually hung out together. When I first moved here - to the other side of the world (again!), I knew no one, and now looking back on the past six months its been interesting to see the life I've created for myself, and the friends I've made. Mezz and I certainly have a LOT to catch up on; it has been an eventful 18 months! Monday, July 08, 2002
Singer Adam Thompson from Chocolate Starfish is recording in Sweden at the moment. Would love to go and see a "Thomo" show..... Apparently Blondie are being supported by INXS during their UK tour in December. I attended the first show INXS performed after the death of Micheal Hutchence. Jon Stevens took over the role as lead singer during that concert and it was awesome. Luckily, Mr "fantastic arms" Stevens is also involved in the UK tour, mmm mmm - CANNOT WAIT!!

Brad and Jacquelyn, I hope you have a lovely day on Sunday. Fingers crossed the weather holds out for you...... Thursday, July 04, 2002
Look at me Kimmie! The Australian comedy, Kath and Kim is hilarious. The wedding is being broadcast tonight. Kim's diets One-two-three footy frank diet One footy frank for breakfast, two for lunch and three for tea. The pritken (pron. pretty-can) diet Includes such favorite tinned meals as Baked Beans, Creamed Corn, Tom Piper's Braised Steak and Vegetables and oops - all manner of pretty cans! O-zone diet This has taken taken Hollywood by storm. Jennifer Pitt-Aniston, Madonna Penn-Ritchie, Courtney Loves Cox have all been on it and have all really lost it. You only eat air for two weeks then only red meat for two weeks so it all balances out. The no-carbs diet Works on the simple principle that if you don't feed your body it will eat away at itself. Ketosis is the key to beauty. Wednesday, July 03, 2002

Of all the things in the world, I have a Dolly Parton song in my head. But, I'm sure I'm singing the version Frente put out a number of years ago; Here you come again, Just when I'm about toget myself together. You waltz right in the door, Just like you done before, And wrap my heart 'round your little finger. Here you come again, Just when I'm about to make it work without you. You look into my eyes, And light those dreamy eyes, And pretty soon I'm wonderin', How I came to doubt you. All you gotta do is smile that smile, And there go all my defenses. Just leave it up to you, and in a little while, You're messin' up my mind, an' fillin' up my senses. Here you come again, Lookin' better than a body has a right to. An' shakin' me up so, That all I really know, Is here you come again, An' here I go! No longer going to Glasgow the weekend after next, and I'm missing my older brother's wedding this weekend. Not in the best of moods.... Monday, July 01, 2002
The weekend was relaxing. Friday night was intentionally quiet. Usually my favourite night of the week to go out, but with Big Brother on, it was worth staying in! Saturday I met a friend for coffee down town. Then I had dinner made for me – mussles followed by a prawn noodle dish. Life doesn’t get much better than this! Sunday was spent reading. Two newspapers and half a book. Didn’t feel guilty for being inside as the weather is appalling at the moment. The picture below was taken one night over at Alistair’s place about a year and a half ago. I had people watching me via the webcam from my old work back in Australia. Little out of control… |
