last week in perth

my last week in perth before flying home
like a holiday before coming home.
rushed to pack all my stuff.
was going to move and stay at bernie's till friday
week started out with nandos! mr eds and aunt merles picked those up
and then me and my loads of bags up and headed to beeliar.
hard to believe maddison had just got out of surgery

she was still literally boucning off walls!
and her baby's head is made of stone. my head knows.
nandos extra spicy, yumm.

maddison made her muffins, and i came to the conclusion
that kids like to finish their last bit of chocolate snack

by smearing it all over their face.

rest of the evening and night was over bottles of wine,
more chicken, and movies till late late in the morning.

wednesday was a lazy day in.
all of us pretty much sat around in the lounge doing nothing.
i got to a little packing of what im bringing home with me.
berns made carbonara for dinner and that was shiokadoos!
had a night out with her to newport! HAHA.
and we had fun.
from guys who thought we were mother and daughter!
and who thought we were japanese, only for me to speak rubbish japanese to him,
with him replying in real japanese. OOPS.
and a group of youngin' who were having shots with us.
berns drove him early back to her babies, and had car troubles! :(
leaving her carless for about a week! oh oh.

uncle dons came over thursday morning,
made more pasta or lunch.
chilled the arvo,
dinner again was gooooooooood.
i think i just miss home cooked food.
what do you get with magazines and blu tack?
a hell of a fun idea!
with our stroke of genius,
TADA!

even the baby couldnt escape his fate! :)
more movies to end our lazy quiet day.
friday morning was a lovely day with maddison.
started off with her coming out of the bedroom
"where's daffy?"
(yes, in her stutter and slur, i am now daffy.)
i heard her all the way from the study so i hid.
and when she peered the corner i jumped out.
she gripped her bottle and went "errr err err"
kids are no fun to scare sometimes.

and guess what, there was a speck of blu tack in baby ignatius' hair!
so bring out the scissors, OOPS. ha

lunch was a lovely cheese and cracker spread

with good pate and smoked salmon
olives and sun dried tomatoes, the works.
lovely arvo in with berns maddison and val.
only champers was missing.
and guys massaging our feet and giving us a pedicure
last minute packing left maddison asking
"why you packing, where you going?"
"i'm running away from home, maddison doesnt love me"
she frowned. folded her arms in thought.
eyes lit up and started jumping around,
"but i do staffy"
"really? how much"
"THIS MUCH"
*spreads her arms as widely, still jumping*
how can you not love kids?

she was a good pair of hands helping me pack tho.
apart from picking up my stuff and playing with it.
to putting lip gloss on, to wanting to paint her nails.
to playing with my lomo so i took out the film and let her so trigger happy.
to trying on my top which looks like a dress on her.
to opening up my art supplies and so we went colour euphoric.


then uncle domonic pulled up in the drive way.
i said my goodbyes.
princess maddison refused to.
oh well. i would have done the same.
never really a fan of goodbyes
but my week's been great!
as if i were home even before i flew.

last weekend in perth

my last weekend in perth was awesome.

bastian's farewell bbq on friday.
was out shopping with charlene earlier in the day first,
then over and gotten our potatoes and legumes grilled.
turned out great.
got bastian a pair of havianas with the aussie flag.
awwww im gonna miss my newport wednesday partner! :(
and no prizes for guessing where we went after.
newport!
where i met 37 yr old derrick from nz.
and then to metros.
ended the night so so so late/early
that i had just enough time to go home, quickly shower and change
then run for my bus to work, still half wonky.

work was so frustrating.
already half drunk/hungover, the other chickies on shirt just left me to do everything.
take orders, start the orders, while they literally just stood there,
waiting for things to pop out of the oven.
to the point i was boiling and burnt from the oven,
"WRAP THAT AND GET OVER TO HELP ME OUT OVER HERE"
hated that i worked with a long grumpy face, but really coudlnt help it.
night out was better. happy birthday stu!
got to meet his gf at last, miss sarah.
and his mate andrew.
started the night at the orient, then to newport then to metros (again)
met john! oooh the curlywurly hair.
(and gross chest hair)
went back to his nearby so he'll drive me home.
walking in we were looking at stars and i was showing him which was what.
then i went to take a leak,
next thing i know, he pulled out a mattress and quilt and pillow
and we slept in the garden.
it was awesome!
and i wanna wake up in the garden, everymorning!
with purple flowers falling to the ground.

off home and to stereosonic!
freak awesome!
paul van dyke, carl cox, infected mushrooms,
you the shizznick!! :)

andddd its back to work on monday. meeeh
