A few things

Reminder

Just a friendly reminder to all law students that tomorrow there is a "it's not just another morning tea." From 10am- 11.30 there will be masters students, SJD students, JD students LLB students, young, middle aged and mature law students. It goes without saying there will be some Canadians, Americans, Australians and hopefully some others. If your a law student we would love to see you. Hopefully some lecturers and tutors will need a chocolate and coffee hit so we will see a few of those also. Drop past with your own coffee mug or come and we will supply you with one. It will probably contribute to global warming, but hey sometimes we all have to make sacrifices. I'll make sure that I don't use the fan, air-conditioner, and washing machine tomorrow and hopefully this will lessen my ecological footprint. The post about this is here!

Lost and found

Material possessions lost and found from the Ball on Saturday: lost - a mobile phone! Please notify me if you found this. Found: a bow tie.

Hello

A huge hello to Mr and Mrs Danielson in Vancouver. I saw both your lovely children on Saturday evening! Your daughter told me you've started reading the blog. Don't worry they are both studying very hard. Mark is learning some top cooking skills. I hope you don't miss them too much. I'll keep you posted!

Birthdays

Evidently I am notorious for missing birthdays. If I know you and you're a friend well happy birthday. Happy birthday for when ever your birthday falls. I hope you have a fantastic day. I try really hard to remember but often forget. Please don't get hurt feelings, it isn't intentional. I'm lucky if Mum, Dad, Jasmine, Caro and Meg all remember. Well actually they are the ones that seem to year after year, and send a card or a message or an email.

Return to Melbourne

This weekend is my baby brother's 21st Birthday Party. 21st Party on the 21st. Ha, clever. His actual birthday isn't until the 8th of November. However, Uncle Pete is eventually getting around to marrying Eliza the following weekend, and then presumably heading off on a little honeymoon so best to get the 21st out of the way. So funny I can still remember when James was born. I think everyone was excepting a girl, so we were all a bit shocked when he turned out. As the photo shows I think my sister was genuinely turned off. For so long he was shorter than me. Then he grew and grew. I think he is still growing.

It will be great to go home. I really need to get away from Uni. I've had enough. It's a pity I can't stay down for the week - I would be at the Hideout and not move. Perhaps the basement apartment for a night so I could see some friends. It will be great to see Alice, Chloe, Bella, Sarah and Rob (aka Mr X), baby Marcus, Andrea, Caro, Dave, etc......There isn't much time so hopefully I can catch up with a few people Mario's perhaps? The best thing of all is people actually want me there (or at least they are very good at pretending), obviously unlike here.

While I was pretty shattered that he vetoed the theme I came up with for the party - 'Come fly with Me' - I've sort of recovered. It would have been great. He has a slight obsession with flying so we could have made the invitations into Kites, or hot air balloons (with lanterns) or put tiger moths on the front. The decorations obviously would have picked up on this. He could have dressed up as a Plane, or a pilot. We would have seen a lot of Top Gun imagery I am sure. I wanted to go as a fairy had have fairy lights. I told Sarah Martin she could come as an Air Hostess. Mum could have brought her broom, see here - specifically point 8. Dad could have gone as Louie the Fly - put some goggles on - fly screen wings....Everyone says I can still dress up....I might pass this time.
