Broken Me

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

I’ll go into more detail tomorrow about today’s activities, but suffice to say they were too much for me and when we got home about 7 pm I collapsed (more or less immediately) on the couch and slept until midnight.

Not surprising since I started the day with a 2.5 km walk, leaving the apartment around 5:30 am.

Here’s a preview of what we got up to today:

Yep, we went to the Norman Lindsay Gallery. And it was amazing!

Here’s another little shot:

But – as I said – I’m brokenly tired and need to go and sleep ASAP. More tomorrow…

Here I Am, Lord

The trip was endless and awful. Customs stole my turkey jerky. The exchange rate makes me cry.

I’ll repeat that last one: the exchange rate makes me cry.

The $A is actually improving against the $US and is currently higher. To estimate how much that 12-pack of cans of Lift cost me, multiply the sticker price by 1.06.

So yes, I paid about US$10.60 for a 12-pack of soda!

No idea what we’ve got planned for tomorrow (Adam’s off work until the 10th) but it should be great. Watch this blog for details…

I’m heading south in a little over a day. As in, far south.

Yesterday we took this to the vet:

And this is what they gave us in return:

Who knew there was a roast chicken hiding under all that fur?
