Number one, happy belated Australia Day! I went up to Mum and Dad's, watched the cricket, had lamb on the barbie for dinner and a rollover pavlova for dessert. The only thing that could've made it more Aussie would have been if we'd won the cricket. Always feels a bit wrong losing the Australia Day one-dayer >>
Number two, I didn't buy the car =( Took Colin's friend, who is a Holden mechanic, to have a look at it and, well. Looooooong list of issues, topped by a cracked manifold, which is close to a grand on its own to fix. In all, it would have cost another $2500-ish to get it back in proper working order, and with that and all the hassle involved--now and probably later down the track--I said goodbye to it. So, back to car shopping for me. Just printed off another seven potentials, yay. I hate car shopping.
Number three, IT'S SUMMER. We're stringing, like, three or four days of 30+ in a row now. Not only that, but 40+ 8D Went to Normanville yesterday arvo and had AWESOME fish and chips for dinner. The sea was so warm, bloody beautiful <3 We have so needed this~ *^^* Only took until the last weekend of January to GET summer, but now it's here, I'm bloody loving it X3
