We did a cleanout of our pantry recently and rounded up forgotten bits and pieces that we needed to make use of or throw out once and for all. Although she was still quite stiff and sore, Jac had been itching to do something other than just lie on the couch watching DVDs. As I […]
While I was at the shops the other day picking up stuff for making a stir-fry for dinner, I had a quick lunch at McDonald’s. Yes, I’m hopelessly addicted to the Filet-O-Fish. The stir-fry I made that evening had chicken and an assortment of vegies in it – spring onion, garlic, snow peas, mushrooms, green […]
VR left for Sydney on Monday. She’ll be back with us in two and a half weeks’ time for about a week, and then she’ll be leaving for good (well, until the next trip to Australia). It was her birthday on Tuesday, and since she would be in Sydney by then Jac and I made […]
This post features a few miscellaneous photos. First, a tin of Plumrose sausages – it was supposed to contain 8 sausages but had only 7. I was planning to write Plumrose a letter, but I forgot to keep the can aside and it ended up in the garbage. Oh well. The 7 sausages were as […]
VR left after a couple of hours – she had a few errands to do in town. Jac’s mum, Pattycakes, arrived just after noon. We hung out with Jac until patient rest time at 1pm, and decided we’d grab some lunch together in the cafe downstairs. My mental note about a steak sandwich and chips […]
I told VR I was planning to be at the hospital by 10am the next day, and I would be leaving the house around 9am. VR is NOT a morning person and I knew she would find it difficult to be up and about so early! But she managed admirably and was ready to go […]
*Still catching up with posts!* Thank you to everyone who wished us a Happy Valentine’s day! It seems like ages ago now. I spent Valentine’s Day this year hanging out with Jac in hospital – it was the day following her gall bladder removal surgery. It was a shame we were in hospital, of course […]
This morning I handed in my thesis. This afternoon I was offered a job (which I’ve accepted). :-D
This was my dinner on the day Jac had her surgery: fish and chips and a banana fritter – delicious as usual, from our local fish and chippie. I tried not to worry or think too much about the surgery, but it was difficult not to, even with these deep fried goodies flooding my senses.
Soon, I won’t need to go to uni any more. Tomorrow is Thesis Submission Day. At some stage after that Jac and I will return for Clearing Out My Desk and Bringing My Crap Home Day. It will feel very final when I hand back my key to the office – but I’ll get my […]
