SEM is seeing North QLD with her parents. So for the last week, one of SEM’s friends, Julia, has been boarding with us. She will stay until July 21, when she goes trekking around Australia and then heads back to her homeland of Germany. Anyway, Julia decided to cook for us last night. It was chicken, dhal, a chunky tomato sauce type thing and salad. The meal was delicious, but of course I didn’t try the chicken.
While I was sitting at my desk this morning, I suddenly started wondering about where all my friends from primary school are and what they’re doing. Strange how these things just pop into your head for no apparent reason. I know Michael Martin is working for an IT company in Ipswich, or at least he was a year or two ago. I’ve no clue what anyone else is doing, so if by chance anyone who was at Victoria Point State School about thirteen years ago should read this, make sure you send me an e-mail. You remember me, right? ;)
About to head over to Indro to pick up Mum’s wedding anniversary gift and to have some lunch. Already got Dad’s present. I should also get something for Ben’s landwarming: perhaps a bottlebrush or some other fairly hardy native plant. But if I’m getting a plant, it’s going to have to wait, because there’s no way I’m bringing back a small tree on the bus and bringing it into my office!
