Cool drinks, bbq'd meat, backyard cricket. If there was ever a time I get all patriotic, it is now.

I went up to the Sunshine Coast with Lilly yesterday.
It was a most lovely day. Perfect weather, great music, great conversation. We took the ferry over to the Noosa North Shore, and found a secluded beach down the end of a bush path. So perfect.
And then, for the first time ever, I got stung by a bluebottle. Ouch.
It was a long walk to the shops for some vinegar.

Not a good day today. Work was boring the first glad of the day, and then I found out that the data I created on Tuesday has, inexplicably, disappeared.
So now I have to create it again.
I hoped that drawing thud guy would cheer me up. I'm not sure it did.
:'(

In other news, I reformatted my phone last night, and it seems to have paid off... no slow down yet today! Awesome.

Canned Coffee

The local Korean Supermarket had cans of coffee on sale for 80 cents each. It's not bad, and the coolness is preferable to hot coffee in this hellish weather.
Friday today, and my birthday tomorrow. Summafieldayze tomorrow, too, with Lilly (of course), Mike KP, Dave, and--making a special blast-from-the-past appearance--Sarah from my undergrad. I'm really, really excited. I'm taking Monday off to recover.
We've booked a hotel for Sat and Sun nights, so it should be a blast of a weekend.
Can't.
Fucken.
Wait!

I've had a most wonderful first week to 2010. New Years was great fun with Lilly, Mum and Mike KP.
The Lamb concert with Emma, Josh, Lilly, Mum, Fiona, and Tony was *perfect*.
The beach with Lilly, Fiona, and Tony was riotous.
And the days spent at home with all those people have been beautiful.
We drew this together over the last two nights. I love it. It shall get a prime place in the loungeroom.
I'm so happy relaxed right now.
