that kidney bean dream

What does it mean?

Went for a walk this morning before work. It was calm and still - very relaxing. Work is going well but I'm looking forward to not working for a couple of weeks. Does everyone realise that it's Christmas on Sunday??

Weekend!!!

Another blue sky day in Canberra

Civic art work

Well I made it through a whole week of work - and of course one of the wonderful things about working full time is how exciting your average weekend becomes - just because it is the weekend. 


Today I made a few more gift purchases, and am feeling very happy about the pile of presents I now have under the blow-up christmas tree - the extent of our christmas decorations. 

Tomorrow we have guests coming for lunch. We're hoping for good weather so we can eat outside - even though we've ordered a dining table and chairs, only the chairs have arrived...

back in the saddle

Today is my first pay day for a looooooong time. (Only one day's pay, but I'm still feeling pleased). Being back in the office is kind of strange, but there are good things about it too. My computer and social skills are both benefitting. But I am looking forward to Christmas and seeing in the new year. 


And on Tuesday I had another interview - this one for a permanent position for an office close to home. I have no idea how I went - for the first time I wasn't nervous at all but I'm not sure if that was a good or a bad thing. Only time will tell. 


This week our other exciting news was that we bought a car. Second hand but still looking good and it should suit our purposes at the moment. We take possession on Monday if all goes to plan. 

Doe, a deer

A busy weekend car hunting and furniture hunting. We also managed to fit in a walk at Kama Reserve today even though the weather was patchy. The last half of the walk we were racing to beat the advancing storm cracking above us. Luckily, we didn't get struck by lightning.
