Looking back to recent events...

Photos taken at Fingal headland in May. Mum and I had a beautiful walk around the headland which I had never seen in all my years of living in and visiting the area.


Cousin Marnie, Amy and I, a couple of weeks ago up north.
My baby brother Al, Mum and me, a brilliant May morning at Ocean Shores, same trip.
The new dress, which does not hide my curves at all! Sans make-up and with wet hair, but you can't have everything. At least the (fake) tan is working!
Mum and I shortly after I surprised her at her 65th birthday party- we're having lunch right on Kingscliff beach.

No Time to think....

Well It's that time again- doing my last assignment for the semester- and you would think for all the blood sweat and tears I put in that I was doing a full load of subjects, but no- I'm just doing the one. Because of the way I use my time that one subject becomes a much bigger thing than it should I suppose- but let's just say "things" happened, and now I am doing a whole semester's work within about 10 days.
And I've kind of run out of puff today. I didn't sleep last night, my brain was switched onto Mack 6 and I couldn't gear it down, even with my body totally pooped.
So with a weary mind and body, I will try and make a little bit of progress today.
It's actually due tomorrow- but I will be handing it in late,after the long weekend- and properly done too.

I find it very hard to study when my house is dirty and the washing is piling up- but his is how it will stay until I get the place to myself, and the assignment handed in, next Tuesday-
Ahh freedom, I can smell it- (and it smells like Mallacoota!)
but first,
there's a Timeline of the history of the Christian Church-
OH yes, the whole 2000 years of it, in 2000 words. GO me.
But that's not all- included in this will be a cohesive and intelligent argument... just to show that I do understand this is a philosophy unit.
Just what that argumant is to be- thank Goodness, I have worked that bit out... but the rest is a hard slog, constructing this time-line thing.



I have begun geting up early and walking my dogs to begin the day- you can tell they're a bit confused today 'cos I slept in and they missed out!
Craig Harper (bless him) has got me seriously looking at the way I look at exercise and Johnny's on that same wave length too- yes, it's not meant to feel good, it's meant to make my butt slimmer!
It's not just the exercise, I know that, I am committed (most of the time) to eating for health, but that comittment has to be 're-set" every month, at least!

I went to see my family in NSW weekend before last, and it was such a lovely time. It was mum's 65th birthday- and I surprised her at her birthday lunch - SURPRISE!!!
It was so much fun to do that.
We had a great couple of days together, and I had a lovely night at my cousin's too.
I also got to catch up with my baby brother and his girlfiend, all lovey dovey and rapt in each other. SO nice to see, but so scary- new relationships are scary things I think!
I don't know how, but millions of us do make it through those precarious few weeks of a new relationship and settle into marriage and total mundaneness- but we do, and very successfully.
It is the natural order of things I think!


Anyway, as good willed as that jaunt up North/family visit gesture was, I think it's the main reason I'm so lost in this assignment now!
When it's all over, I will come back and I promise I will talk about something more interesting...
