Wednesday became another one of those long, eventful days, where things seem to keep happening.
The fun stuff started the previous afternoon, dropping by the library at 4.30 to print off a couple of posters on the colour printer before the library closed, and discovering that there was a glitch in the printing system.... one that allowed me to print off full colour A3 posters, without any credit being taken off my print card! Oh, if only I had been there half an hour earlier.... still, we got about half a dozen A3 posters for Kabuki printed up, which was a bonus!

Then Wednesday being C&S Market Day, the whole day from 8am til 4pm was spent running the stall, amid frequent dashes away, to sign up for other clubs, print off more flyers (this time, sadly, costing credit..), and get food and refreshments. The last time I had a Market Day it was out in the sun, i got rather pink, and at the end of the day had to go and work. That was about the time my car got stolen for the first time, too, so I'm glad this week was much better.
Tom and I did take some of the new club members out for a drink at Uni House but as storm clouds started to build on the horizon we decided to call it a day and go home.
Somehow, going home turned into going out to the cinema with the girls, some of whom had had interviews that morning for the JET programme, so someone came up with the idea of getting takeaway, and perching up in the back rows of the theatre eating Paad Thai while watching The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

I loved reading the books when I was little, but I dont think Ive actually read them for about fifteen years. There were a couple of moments where I actually forgot what was going to happen next, which was nice. I was mainly surprised how long the film was - though that makes sense given how much they had to fit in it. Once it was over and we'd come back outside, the city was very wet, and the storm had been and gone already.
So off home, and had the unexpected surprise once entering the house of discovering that the storm had knocked out our electricity. Just ours, across the road still had power.
At least there was still enough hot water in the heater to have a shower, but that was about it for technology for the night. We all forgot, though, I went to check my email, Mei to charge her phone, and Nia wondered why the hair dryer didnt work!
Still, it ended up being a rather pleasant evening with the lounge room lit by tea candles, the three of us sitting around talking and drinking pineapple and bombora (well, with no electricity we couldn't even make tea!) until far too late at night. No such thing as a bad situation, really!

I'm tired rather early tonight. Must be something to do with the busy weekend!
Well, since I last wrote I've moved back to Canberra, and moved out of my old little nest. It was only supposed to be for the year anyway, and was getting a little on the small and cramped side, and the distance away from the rest of civilisation everyone else plus increasing rent was all making it more and more inconvenient down there.
This past week has been spent packing up my little nest, getting ready to move, as well as getting things all set for Kabuki this year. Dad came up to Canberra at the end of last week and together we managed to move all my stuff from the old nest to my new place in a single day!
So now I'm up in Lyneham, living with Mei and Nia, enjoying such amazing facilities as an oven, couch, and similar items I've had to survive without, in my nest.
Does this mean an end to the nesting wombat? No, for my room is still upstairs, which I much prefer to being underground, though I hear most wombats prefer underground.

This weekend just gone we've all ten of us been down at the coast in a beach house, eating plenty of food, swimming in the surf, lazing on the beach, setting off fireworks, throwing frisbees, eating more, having plenty of naps, and all in all having a great time. The surf was amazingly warm to swim in, too, once you got in. I do think I drank a few litres of saltwater, and was certainly thrown off balance and even upside down by the waves a little more than I had hoped, but no complaints!!
I seem to have developed a stiff neck from sleeping on the sand this afternoon, but a good sleep tonight will surely do me the world of good. Its so early but I'm on my way to bed already...
