Almost a week has passed..

apologies for the lack of updates - I have pictures and movies to upload, details to spill and the best you guys are going to get is brief as hell. You may be asking yourself - why oh why has Nat cut down on her blogging? {although I should point out I haven't received any emails begging for more entries - maybe this is a sign I should stop?}
Reasons Why:
1. Work has been busy (in an annoying way) so when I get home I'm super tired (and often moody!
2. I have gone out quite a bit and had big nights (Tues night - Mandys birthday - Rocky Horror Show & many drinks, Thurs night - Pub Quiz with yummy indian - and many drinks (we came second last and won many shots ;)
3. Mandy is staying with me so I have someone to talk to when I get home instead of write on the blog. (BTW to clarify for ms Scruffy - Mandy has temp. moved in while searching for a place to live. My place is too small for 2 ppl to permanantly live, but its fun to have her around!)
4. I am addicted to Veronica Mars (Seriously, its getting serious, I think the only way im going to cure myself is to watch all the episodes ;)

Other things worth mentioning:
- Clairs in town for a week for work (YaY!) - I saw her Thurs night and catching up again this avo
- Ms Scruffy (Amy) is back in town so hopefully we'll finally see each other this avo
- I'm heading to Hayleys place in Sai Kung (vaguely country meant to be really beautiful) for girlie night and sleepover. I'm making choc beer cake, but I left my whisk and measuring thingy in Mandys room - so have to wait til she wakes up to make it. Although I have done washing while waiting (and blogging). I woke up too early (and went to bed late :(
- Next Sunday I head to Tokyo for work for 2 wks. I still hate work (I dont play well with others), but looking forward to Tokyo.

Hopefully at somepoint I'll update photos.....

I should not be called Grace...

One thing I have never been and will never be is graceful. This wont come as a surprise to most of you - but was hammered into to me on Friday, at a work team building day. The morning involved rock climbing, jumping over streams, walking on wet rocks and climbing up a ladder on a waterfall. I spent the whole time falling down, am covered with cuts and bruises (and achs)and was helped by the boys. I am so unco. I have absolutely no balance, and I suck at all things involving activity. So yes it was kinda traumatic. It would have been less so if it wasn't a work do. I may have even slightly enjoyed a day of activity and making a fool out of myself if it was with my friends. But unfortunatly it wasnt :(

Yes it was nice of them to invite me, and better than work, but I am now in a world of pain. (and humilated). I have only been at work 2 days so far, but I have a full busy week next week!

Mandy and I spent yesterday (saturday) watching dvds and eating bagels - very nice! Last night I went to a gorgeous restaurant for a friends birthday. For only $300 (AUD$50) we had loads of very yummy food and byo wine. Check out what I ate -
* Bread & Pate
* Goats cheese & Tomato Tart
* Tomato & Orange soup (wierd)
* Duck breast with pear
* Eggplant & tomato gratin (yummo)
* Warm Chocolate cake
* Cappucino

All in all very nice - and home by midnight (no one was out for a big one). Would be great for a dinner party with my load and rowdy friends, and a bottle of wine each ;)

Its nice having a roomie, came home for a chat with Mandy and then I ended up watching the rest of Veronica Mars season 1. I wasn't tired and I just kept watching. So I ended up watching the remaining 5 hours and got to bed at 5am. Yay for sundays.
