This entry is written under the recipie for a pasta dish that I made for tea tonight. I felt rather helpless at several points throughout the cooking process, but managed to produce something resembling what it was supposed to be. Robert picked every single pea out of his. What kind of person hates peas??
Didn't do much of anything today. Had dramatic conversations with Shaughn and made yet another big life decision. I make a lot of those in Australia (somewhat to Robert's disapproval).
I'm sitting outside now, smelling the air cuz I realized the only time I'd stepped outside the house today was when Angela and I went to the milk bar to buy groceries. It's not a very nice day anyway. By Australian standards I mean. By Canadian ones it's gorgeous comparitively. Still I'm chilly in this wind and Blackie keeps curiously sniffing my book so I think I'll go inside.
Inside:
I booked two day trip sightseeing tours today for the week after next, Dec 5 and 6. On the 5th I'm doing The Great Ocean Road tour and on the 6th it's Puffing Billy, Yarra Valley and Healsville Sanctuary. I won't bother explaining them now, I'll write more about them the day of. So I think I'll be staying in a hostel in Melbourne for a few days cuz the tours leave from the city early in the morning. I'm actually kind of looking forward to a hostel atmosphere to break from staying here. Don't get me wrong, I'm very fortunate to be able to stay here and I get along famously here, but there's not much adventure involved in having my own room in a lovely house in the suburbs. Not that I want a lot of adventure, three days should do. ;)
Charlie's Angels was released here today. That's worthy of mention only because the neverending previews for it before I left Canada gave me a nearly irrepressible urge to run out and see it. However, it wasn't released in Canada til Nov 3, two days after I left. No problem, I thought, I'll just see it when I get to Australia (on Nov 4), it will surely be released by then. But then I get here and find out its Australian release date is the 23rd. I've been waiting a long time to see it. I hope it lives up to at least some of my expectations.
That's about all I have to say today. I promise I'll start doing exciting things so my diary won't be so boring. ;) Now I have a homework assignment to do. 6:53pm
