Sanitorium Lake

Good day today. We have had some friends from Holland staying with us, so we headed down to Sanitorium lake, up in Macedon. Nice weather, a little cold but no need for a jumper. We had bought a really nice frisbee (apparently the one that holds the world record for distance) so we were tossing that around, very good fun. Stuck up a tree more than a few times, but it was all good. 

We also made these very nice hamburgers, really spicy with sambal and tabasco and lots of other spices. We walked around for a bit, then headed up to the Macedon Reservoir to do a bit of fishing. No luck though, unfortunately. There were loads of blackberries around though, it was fantastic! I stuffed myself full. Nothing quite like fresh blackberries, straight off the bush. mmmm.....

All in all, a very nice Sunday! This was also the final day before I head back for another year of uni, so I've been getting all my stuff together. I'm looking forward to heading back, even though I know I will wish it was holidays again after the first week of work... Although this year I have two full days off, Thursday and Friday. So long weekend! 

Right, this laptop is almost out of power.

I am feeling incredibly satisfied. 

For ages I have been meaning to get a new wardrobe, as my old one was falling apart. After putting it off for weeks and weeks, I drove down to Bunnings and picked a nice (cheap) one out. However, I had to put it together myself. 

My Grandad was a carpenter, and my other ancestors built ships in Holland, so it should be in my blood, but I am really not very good at putting things together. But this was going to work, and work it did!

Finally, my clothes are no longer living on my floor, but are organized into nice, individual compartments. Satisfaction. I only hope they stay as organized, I've never been able to keep my stuff neat and ordered.

While I was there, I also grabbed two new plants, a bonsai Banyan Fig (pictured), and some bamboo, which I swear have grown since I bought them. 




Saturday

Cool! First post of my new blog! I guess I might be a little late to this whole 'internet' thing, but hey... 

I suppose I should outline what I hope this blog will be. I'm planning to write about food and drink, something that I really enjoy. Life as a fourth year BECE student, living it up in Melbourne. And I really hope this eventually turn into a travel blog. 

I've long enjoyed reading other people's writing, so I suppose now it's time to start some writing of my own.
