The Zoo! and such!
Honestly. I do nothing at all exciting during the week, and then do a billion and one things on the weekend! it's crazy!
Well, on saturday, we went to the zoo, as promised. It was awesome! we saw the spider show and the seal show, and the seals did the wrong thing all the time! We had a really great time, although there were two major disappointments - disappointment one: because it was so hot, a lot of the animals were hiding, and couldn't be seen very easily, if at all. They were just lying in the back of their cages, sleeping. Disappointment two: the animal we had gone there specifically to see, the baby pygmy hippo, was not let out, as it was one of the only ovulating days for the mother, and the keepers wanted to breed her with the male. So, grumble!
Then, that evening, we went for dinner at Sizzlers! it was epic! they've gotten rid of those awesome crunchy bacon bit thingies they used to have, but it was still super yummy. I ate so much! spag bol, and potato skins with bolognese sauce and salad and apple crumble... it was awesome. I stayed at W's house and on sunday, after he made me breakfast, we went shopping at Parra. He needed a new squash racquet.
In the afternoon, we shared a KFC Tower burger (it's back!! OMG! original fillet, cheese, tangy tomato sauce, lettuce and a HASH BROWN! - best burger EVER) and afterward, W had squash grading. I was the cheer squad, in between reading the paper (lol).
Afterward, we had a bbq with his whole family, and I met his sister and her new husband, who'd just come back from their honeymoon!
Anyway! it was a nice weekend. Today was pretty quiet, since my boss was away... I caught up on emails about my internship and things, and also to see if my uni supervisors had sent me anything but no news yet.
I am currently waiting on:
- personalised starbucks card.
- myer one card
- bank card (st. geo)
- 2009 concession sticker (ugh, I've been in twice to collect it, and it's STILL not available!)
- priceline card!
And today in the mail I got my myerone $20 gift card! so I'm trying to think of something nice to spend it on! :D
