On safari.

My mother and father are heading off to Tanzania in early July to spend 12 months working in Bukoba for VSO!  It's very exciting for them, as it's something that they've wanted to do for a very long time.  I'm hoping for my mysterious benefactor to pull his/her finger out and fly me to Africa to visit them at some point but I doubt it will happen, somehow.  I'll just have to live vicariously through their blogs - Mum's at Our year in Africa and Dad can be found at Bukoba Steve's Tanzania birding blog.

 

Needless to say, I am very, very proud of them both.

Tuff times.

As seen on Secret Society of List Addicts,

6 Ways To Get Through A Tough Time.

This popped into my feed reader just when I needed it - thanks!!

Homebodies.

Lisa helped me move some stuff and she stayed to pick roses from the garden and drink hot blackcurrant. 

Do you like the view out my window?  I love my little apartment and my cat and my friends so much.  Things are stressful at the moment with university and changing jobs and not having very much money so it's wonderful to have the stability of home and friends.  Thanks everyone, you know who you are.  xx

The morning after.

I took myself for a long, long walk along the beach the day after Pip and Andrew's wedding.

I'd never been to Swansea before and it was so, so nice to have the excuse of a wedding to have a seaside weekend away.  (Thanks guys!!)

On the way back I came across some friends who were a leetle bit worse for wear..

Pip and Andrew got married.

And I got to see them do it!

This is the companion piece to the shot in my previous post - a picture by me of Dean taking a picture of me.

(I got the job!  I start tomorrow!  Wish me luck!!!)

My friend Dean took this picture of me and my Trip with HIS Trip at our friends' wedding last month.  I like it a lot!  Thanks for making me look so good, Dean!

I have a job interview tomorrow.  I'm a bit scared!

New Love Of Diagrams video.

Check out this new video from Love Of Diagrams!  I am a huge fan, as I think I may have mentioned once or twice on this here blog.

I would really like a navy-blue a-line miniskirt now (and am pondering the logistics involved in getting my sewing machine to Hobart from my parents' house in country Victoria).

And also to go on a date with M. Ward.

That is all, for now.

New home.

I moved house again this week.  It still looks like a bomb hit it, but it's coming together slowly!
