So lots of cool stuff has been happening lately.
I had a birthday - which in itself is not actually very exciting, but I did feel very loved - man, all these sweet people in my world!
I slept in, had delicious midday breakfast, got FREE bubble milk tea, and went to a trivia fundraiser thing and won a sports kit - soccer ball, frisbee, bat and stumps!! Winning things is fun, I think it's the first time I've ever won anything in a raffle!
The next day I made lanterns and pie, and had a party. That was great. The lanterns actually worked, and only one of them caught itself on fire - and that wasn't till near the end!! hehe. I wish I had more photos of the night - it looked so pretty; all these golden glowing prisms, flickering candles and torches, surrounded by the shadowy nightforest..
On Sunday I biked into town with a couple of friends and we went to the people's coal port blockade. I'd never been before, so thought I'd check it out. The whole coal thing is a pretty tricky issue, but I am becoming more & more convinced that there must just be better ways of living and making money.. The coal dust sucks, the country being dug up and wrecked sucks, let alone stuffing the atmosphere.. hmm.
Also it was a gorgeous day, and paddling around the port in the sparkling water was just sub-lime.
Lastly we had community gathering, I went to dinner with excellent soccer buddies, and then the uni week was back on!
One of these days I shall do a really nice and together-ish post - for now, hope you enjoyed the random happenings!
