don't know Winnie?!

Hmm... I have done some really exciting things recently. Well, exciting may not be the best descriptor, they have certainly been fun though! I started volunteer work at a primary school. It was such fun the Friday I started! I am helping out in a grade 1 and 2 composite class. Some of the kids had drawn pictures of what they thought I would look like, and some had written, and decorated, my name. Then they stuck them to the door as a welcome - it was so gorgeous!! They are some of the sweetest kids I have ever met. At the start of the day I got welcomed into the class with a Q&A (1. What is my favourite colour? 2. What is my favourite animal? 3. What is my favourite food? 4. Do I like makeup? Orange, cats, pizza and sometimes) and a performance (they learn Italian so they did a song in Italian with hand actions!). I helped out with a spelling test (yes, back to putting words in sentences: "The grass is green" - it was Gr words this week). I got to play Celebrity Heads (they didn't know who Winnie the Pooh was...) and was taught to play Yahtzee by a 7-year-old! All in all it was an excellent day. And I am now totally and seriously considering studying Primary Education at University. I'm thinking either Deakin University or Melbourne University (and at Melb I would be the last year of intake because of the Melbourne Model). So yes, I think I may be on my way to knowing what "career" I would like.

And it was the Apollo Bay Music Festival last weekend. It was so much fun! I was only there for Saturday and Sunday, I was at the primary school on Friday, then worked Friday evening, so I didn't get down 'til Saturday - and then I was really worn out from the day before... But it was great fun. The highlights were: Cornerstone Roots (great reggae/roots), De Jah Groove (very cool to dance to) and Sweethearts (the band from the high school I went to, they probably performed the best I have ever seen them). Yep, a brilliant, but very tiring, weekend!

And today is ANZAC Day. So: lest we forget.

And, I just realised, I let my last post - my 100th post - go by with no celebrations. So I just wanted to mention it. This is officially post number 101! Wow!

sun and washing...

It's the second month of Autumn and there is still plenty of warm, lovely sunshine to dry my washing on the clothesline! And beautiful blue skies.

eBay and chocolate

Well, Happy Easter to one and all! I got some wonderful chocolate which of course I have eaten too much of but it was so delicious. The best was these little square chocolates which were hot cross bun flavoured! They were awesome.

I also took advantage of this long weekend to get some things up on eBay. Gosh, that was fun! I currently have 38 items up... First some didn't show up, and now I am into the excitement of having bids! Who knew watching people spend money could be such fun! Oh, and seeing how many watchers you have on your items, that's just a blast. I think one of the items has 10 watchers! I can see it being addictive, which is a worry. Actually, a couple of friends have been using it as a side business. They go op shopping and sell what they find, which is pretty cool. Maybe that's something I should think about seeing I have quite a bit of spare time...

And working at the icecream shop is awesome. I just really like having something to do, and have a good laugh doing it. So, yeah, I'm really happy at the moment. I love the way things are going. And I am getting a little excited about the prospect of a holiday in summer. There has been consideration of New Zealand - awesome!!
