now a thirtysomething from Brisbane
This selection of charms, key chain straps or whatever else you want to call them are some of my favourite things I brought back from Japan. There is an elephant, a hamburger mirror, Hello Kitty doughnut, Mr Green Tea Ice Cream man, edamame, Miffy with Sakura, Madeline, a little tea set etc etc and more. Probably once a week or so, I change round what I’ve got on my hand bag, mobile and uni bag. I get to take some little pieces of Japan with me where ever I go. sigh 🙂
That’s right, Excuse me while I kiss the sky, I certainly don’t say it like Jimi said it oh it sounds good. Oh the sky has been glorious the last few days. That lovely blue, mostly clear with just whispers of clouds around and so crisp. Love it.
There’s been quite a few going-ons in my life recently hence the radio silence.
1) I moved back in with my mother a few days ago. I loved the location in Spring Hill but I had a few issues with one of my flat mates over what joint tenancy means … I gave a few options over Easter and my last option was that I would move out when she found a replacement.
2) Grandad is still in the hospital, he is now in the rehab unit but it doesn’t look like he will be going home to his home at the end of his stay. Mum is in the process of looking at aged care options. It’s sad. It’s also quite consuming visiting him.
3) Uni, ahh Uni. I handed in my Cost Accounting assignment on Monday night – so glad to have that finished.
4) Work, we’ve had our staffing levels reduced significantly the last few weeks with one girl resigning, one girl on leave and another two going on leave for a week each as well … It’s been non-stop at work.
Tomorrow though I’m going down the coast to pick up a very special purchase. You’ll have to wait and see what it is but I’m nearly over the moon in excitement at picking it up.
Off to Beerwah
“Papa, can we climb Beerwah today?” Little Dark Chocolate Bunny asks.
“Yeah Papa, can we?” Little White Chocolate Bunny echoes.
“I guess we can, but don’t tell your Mama”.
“Yeah, Yeah” squeal the little bunnies.
An older photos from 2007 but I still love this series of photos I took.
I’m busy working on two assignments – having a “great time” working on cost variances …..
I’m settling into life here in Spring Hill – I’m tucked away in a nice street up near the windmill on Wickham Tce which means I’m enjoying walking/running up and down Jacob’s Ladder when ever I go anywhere in the city which isn’t work. That plus living in a terrace house is making a difference to my legs for sure!
At the moment though, I’m pretty much “head in textbooks” or “fingers on calculator”, I’ve got a exam tomorrow and I want to get the best mark I can possibly get.
My study set up doesn’t so much look like this any more (I do miss my balcony and all that light) but is a corner of my room. Will have to take some photos of my room shortly.
Still study is study and it must be done.
Study of course makes you hungry. I won’t however be eating the below pictured. I may be a big supporter of adding a spoonful of Milo to corn flakes/any breakfast cereal but pre-packaged porridge sachets with the Milo already in it? sigh.
Went to do some grocery shopping with one of my flatmates and snapped this picture on the walk back up Edward St.
Now it’s time to finish off some practice questions and get ready for bed.
Contrary to public and possibly opinion, I’ve not yet disappeared off the edge of the earth.
I have however changed postcodes about just as quickly as I changed at the start of the year. I moved into a lovely quasi terrace house in Spring Hill on Sunday. Saw the ad on Friday, inspected on Saturday and then Bob is my great uncle I moved on Sunday.
I’m totally loving the 8 minute walk to work compared to the 40 to 50 mins it was taking to get to work in the morning. And oh so nice to get home quicker after uni. I’m living with a nice bunch of people which is of course good stuff.
One of the great things is that my room has 3m of wardrobes on one side of the room 🙂 🙂 🙂
The view from the window is in some ways quite urban but also a bit suburban with the trees etc.
Here is to Spring Hill.
Quick update, we left Tokyo at 8am this morning and have spent the day in the Kyoto area. We are now in Nara. No earthquake damage here.
