Collingwood and Carlton... the big match!

Well, the big match arrived - Collingwood versus Carlton at the MCG... the day we took 3 toddlers to the footy! Mum, Dad, Liz Lac and Holly came to our place, then we took the train into the ground. It was a pretty good day, collingwood won, there was a bit of a mele on field, and spirits were high. The kids were good, apart from the occasional hunger grissle, and the apparent need to go to the toilet every 5 seconds! We left at 3/4 time, which worked out ok... made it to the express train to clifton hill with 2 minutes to spare so very easy. Then we caught the last 1/4 on telly (our new, hugely big telly), so all was good.

Moving House


We moved house about 3 weeks ago - from a small unit, to a much larger (but probably still considered to be small) victorian terrace in clifton hill. We just love the new place, john still spends his time running up and down the hallway (usually with me chasing him!). Gee we have alot of stuff though, still have plenty of boxes to unpack, but there is not quite as much storage as the unit, strangely enough!
John's bedroom will be great, once we get some proper cupboards for him to put his toys in.
He might actually sleep in there too, wow that would be great.

I am up at the ATCA right now, doing some observing for my student (who, I just found out, is probably going to quit). I'm on the night shift, which isn't too bad ... I didn't even fall asleep (much) last night, but it did get a bit boring towards the end.

Next week is lizzies 30th birthday party which will be great, and the following weekend the whole family is coming to melbourne to go to the aquarium on lizzies actual birthday, followed by pizzas at our place. Should be fun.

Oh well, time to change source, and then venture out into the cold, cold night to get some food! (Note to self.... remember to bring lots of warm clothes when coming to narrabri in winter!!).
