The time has come the walrus said to talk of many things...well actually the time has come to regurgitate all of the knowledge I have managed to retain from this semester of 'study'. So at the moment there is little time to do much other than cram.
I have ambitious plans for what little break I have between semesters, plans which I am trying not to distract myself with at the moment. See you then.

The tea is a-brewing in it's pot, the biscuits are fresh from the oven, sounds like it's time to catch up...
Well hello there. How are you? Sorry for my absence. It seems lots of things have been happening but not much forward motion in the goals department, I haven't even stepped on the scales since we last spoke... but I have been doing other things, crafty things! So lets talk about them shall we?
...And I stepped onto the scales for you my dear, so we can talk about that later too I guess...
Jam
I have a feijoa/pineapple guava tree in my front yard. It's been there about as long as we have lived here which is around 23 years, but we generally forget it exists. But this year for some reason it was making it's presence known and we have been collecting and eating its weird delicious fruit the whole time it has been producing it.
Now every year about Easter time the season finishes and it drops its green oval shaped fruit (which is great for hiding green oval shaped Easter eggs) This year we decided to do something with them. So Nani and I made them into Jam. Neither of us had ever made jam before so it was a bit of an adventure, but it turned out perfectly. It is delicious and jelled/set/whatever you call that thing that Jam does (jammed?) perfectly. We are both pretty proud of ourselves.
Walkies
After the eater gluttony my brother, Nani and enjoyed the perfect weather and I went for a walk around Kakarook Park, a big arsed water filtering wildlife filled park. Even though it's 10 minutes drive from my house I had never been there before.
We walked, talked rubbish and took some photos. Here are some friendly little fungi we met:
Health stuff
When I decided to write this post this morning I also decided to brave the scales. It came as a great, and pleasant surprise to see that they haven't moved. I haven't put on or lost any weight in my time off.
I am working my way back into the gym habit. To help me out Nani and I have made a pact that we can choose to either eat sweets and go to the gym or to do neither on any day. And let me just tell you, Nani is doing great. I on the other hand have been doing nothing. To be completely brutally honest, and I am amongst friends so why not, I bought 10 chocolate elegant rabbits. I will eat well all day and then not go to the gym, then the sun will go down, the heater and the pajamas will go on and then THE RABBIT WILL COME OUT!!! They are irresistible!
But I am getting myself to the gym on occasion (on three occasions so far this week) and other than the legion of chocolate bunnies I am starting to eat better again.
So I have a few more little crafty projects I have been up to to fill you in on, but I will save that for next time.
