Pics from Phillip Island.....

	Here's some of the pics, need to get some reposted... It was absolutely freezing but beautiful Here's Marni and I at Seal Bay (It's promoted as 'Come and see the penguins on the rock!" but you actually look at them through a camera.... The view.... Chris and I at the Koala Sanctuary! One of the numerous koalas we met- we actually got to pat one which was really cool...

The world of Cate...

I was a 'celebrity rooter' on RRR's Best of the Brat radio show last night. I went on there with some other folks to promote Winterfest and nominate our top 5 rooting songs. I didn't have much with me so opted for Sonic Youth's Halloween. Good fun, good people :-) What else have I been up to? Ummmm.... Busily making things to sell at Winterfest and various other places... I saw Tilly and the wall earlier in the week-interesting act, they have a girl tap dancing instead of a drum kit. Good for novelty entertainment but not music I would choose to buy myself... Besides that, I'm struggling to think of anything particularly momentous...saw Harry Potter and The Simpsons movie....had dinner with Chris in the city a few times.... Went Swimming and to the Hiroshima Day Rally and to the ABC's 75th Birthday Party at Fed Square... I saw a grief counsellor on friday. He made me feel a bit rushed. I'm still sad, not up to the happy memories stage yet. I sorted through some of David's stuff that he stored at my house. That was hard. Pics I like: Current Music: Blur-Caramel

hmmmmm

	You should come to this: I will have a stall (frantic to get everything done!) Current Mood: sick

Cate's cheering up post

Pics that make me happy: Bunnies! The second pic is of Miss Flossie. Notice her big dewlap. She used to steal food from Mr Franz and hide it under there! Some of my crafty goods-not the best pics but hey Hydrangeas are my favourite flowers. This is a pic I took of Monet's house in Giverny. Goals for the week: Trip to Daylesford Work on gloves Do one bag Do one address book pay bills and work out what's left Attend Chris' gig@old bar

wintery wicked weekend....chocolate overdose is possible

Had an interesting weekend though I've been abnormally tired....so sleepy all the time. If it keeps going i'll get a doctor's check up. If my thyroid/bsl is normal, then I'll look at another detox i think. Friday I went to lilydale/healsville for work. Stopped off at the Cadbury factory on the way (oh lord! I got little turkish delights, some faux muesli bars and a few slabs-disgraceful!). Went to a lovely gourmet/fresh produce kinda pub and had homemade sausages and mash-yummy! Very relaxing......Friday night I met up with CM in the city then we went home for pizza for dinner....quiet night. early night for me. Saturday I went on a chocolate tour kinda organised by Chris for my birthday....sweet Chris! It was great fun and a chocolate pleasure...we had to have a savoury foccaccia after, we were so sugared out! Did a few things in the city then went home. Made spag bol for dinner. Was meant to go out but was just too tired...Another early night. Sunday we went tree planting down Merri Creek with was great fun, it was actually t shirt weather which was great. Then we had yummy bbq and walked to Chris' where we did a heap of weeding out front (about 7 big black garbage bags worth which we snuck into a factory bin hehe). Chris cooked an AMAZING turkish meal and then we went to Spanish Bar-I'm afraid i fell asleep-how embarassing! Then went home and slept through Chris knocking on the door! argh! Monday morning lay in bed and listened to the Archers with Chris...then went home and did some cleaning and shopping and such then had a nap. Chris came round for dinner (turkey meatballs and mushroom brocoli rissotto). Played scrabble and chatted and did a bit of crafting. Lovely evening in many ways :-) I'm thinking about going back with Chris to the UK at christmas (if he goes) if i have the money. Have to put some pretty serious saving into place to enable me to do so....argh. Particularly as my cc is maxed also. Still, have to start somewhere. Things I need to organise for the party: -take over heater, chairs/crates -food: -fairy bread -party pies -sausage rolls -chips/dips -cocktail frankfurts -tomato and chilli sauce -pineapple -cheese cubes -tooth picks (chris loves pineapple and cheese on sticks apparently hehe) cups, bowls, plates, serving plates, sausage containers punch: -bucket -gin -guava juice -pineapple juice -mineral water -fruit busy busy but feeling somewhat inert! Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: radiohead-anyone can play guitar
