a catch up

so, last night, i was sitting at home after a lovely dinner with tami and jess. (thanks girls) and i was meant to go out to an art exhibition, but didn't... because i was too lazy and it was pouring. so i watched 'groundhog day' for the first time. i was falling asleep watching it when 3 drowned rat housemates and some of their friends arrived home too... they had been at the cricket and it got called off due to the rain. they continued drinking (as one does at and after the cricket apparently) and so i joined them in some of dan's homebrew. the beer wasn't the best, but the cider was delicious. we watched the rest of groundhog day and put on 'point break', what a classic movie... haha. such good acting. and had a time of housemate family time... it was beautiful... i looked out the lounge room window and there was almost waves in the intersevtion of the 2 rivers that were once roads... it was amazing. our front and backyard were also flooding and we had to save our poor drowning plants and bikes... i think they will survive to see another day (except my poor chillie that has had a run of bad luck recently... so sad.)

anyways, that was just last night... an end to a lovely week... rach has just bought a place (woot woot) and she had a housewarming last week, it was good to see old friends from different friendship groups... it's weird, our worlds intertwine in a way that 3 years ago i wouldn't have thought... so it was nice to catch up with some of my old friends courtesy of rach's housewarming. her flat is really cute too...

besides one round of trivia, wandering aimlessly through the city and catching up with people, i don't seem to be doing too much. oh, i have started riding my bike a bit more. tried to ride to work and failed... haha... no stamina... but i'll get there.... build it up. poco a poco... oh. i also started spanish classes again... so hopefully my grammar will get better... we'll see how it goes.

working 2 days a week... it has been confirmed... doing the recorder group again. got a trip to radelaide and a camping trip booked for march... haircut tomorrow... don't think there's really much else happening in the world of deev at the moment...

so now some more photos... this time, of peru... i don't think i put many up before... oh and then at the end, a few other random things...!!!! yay
