Just listening to lectures to start my massive catch-up campaign before heading to Brisbane in a few weeks (just a few days with a close family friend)!
Been very quiet in here, you're right, Mel! I've actually not watched Bones since the first night We've either had stuff on or I've been tucked away in the study...sad, really! Will have to schedule in my Bones time
Doncaster is doable, though so is where you live, Bath - I've been down Northcote and Nth Fitzroy way a bit in the last couple of months, and it seems easier to drive to your place than to do the train thing. And we got an Eastlink tag earlier this year, so it's easy to just hop on that
Tali - I'm hoping my assignments are in by end of this week or early this week and hoping you're around next week! I have a homebirth meeting in Berwick next Wednesday in the morning and could drop in after that if you're home
Something terrible is happening to me lately and I've been coming to terms with it all week...I'm into the footy season...it snuck up on me and because it was so sneaky, it's stuck! DP has the radio on all weekend and on Friday nights and I've been brainwashed this whole time...now I'm just aware of it! I'm having a hard time with an aspect of it, though. DP was telling me I have to stick with the club I liked as a kid (before I decided that my first love was the round ball...and still is, that's not changed!), which is Richmond (make sense now, Tali? ), and now he's telling me that as there is no family history of that allegiance (being that I'm first generation and there were no allegiances in my family anyway) I can choose now that I'm back into the 'fold'...and I have to concede that in this slow gestation of footy brainwash Carlton has been the team I've developed an affinity for. Sorry to have to say that out loud, but it's just becoming apparent and undeniable! So, there you have it. I'm a kind of Carlton fan. And I'm hoping the upcoming A-League season can help alleviate the shock if this other recent realisation!
Holy Communion - having gone to Catholic schools, I'm not surprised by your description, Mel!! It's a nice sense of belonging the kids get. I get uneasy with the whole 'bride-like' thing about Communion...not to mention the outfit costs!
Bath - just haven't broached the Twitter scene...it's bad enough I'm a FB tragic! I'm trying to wean myself a bit from FB, unsuccessfully so far.
Oscar is coming to terms with there being a baby in my belly...but only cos last week I started to pop out and it's become more tangible for him. And they've been talking about it at childcare. Speaking of which, I'm a bit sad that he only has about a month left at the centre He is so damn comfortable there and he will be missed from there. He'll also miss the centre, I reckon, in his own way - he talks about 'having fun' with various individuals there, kids and carers alike. I've got him on a waiting list for the Shire's centre, which is just up the road from me. I have to take a tour and speak to someone from there, and they tell me there are some vacancies. Just wish I could move SWiCh to the hills - they're just so good and caring and qualified, and well resourced. But MiL will go away for a month or so in August and I'll need the time and headspace that those two afternoons a week provide. I do have friends who can help, but it's handy to have a scheduled time that isn't subject to other things coming up. I can't help feeling a bit peeved (ok, a lot peeved!) when MiL either can't do one of the half-days or can only have him for a few hours instead. Hopefully that's because of the pressure of uni and the other stuff going on in my head, and that once I finish up the semester (and take my intermission), that resentment will diminish. We'll see. I walk past this shire centre all the time and it does seem very good. And MiL lives about 50 mtrs away from it and could collect him from time to time if I'm going out of area. Oh, the conundrum! Think-typing again...
Better pay attention to this lecture...hope everyone's doing well!
