3 day weekend

A long long weekend is over and I'm back to uni without having done half as much work as I should have again... ohno. I did do most of it... I started feeling ill on Friday night and by Saturday it was cleat that I had a cold. It's terrible being sick in the hot weather, I couldn't even go to the pool! My runny nose did not, however, prevent me from attending the Friday night 70s Disco Bowls night at Woodville Bowl. It was a great night with heaps of people dressed up and looking funky. The team I coached this season even gave me a little present! How lovely. I did pretty badly at bowling, I think I came way last both games and ended up putting the ball on the ground and just pushing it off down the alley in the end. It wasn't a very late one, nor a drunken one for me, but it was for several others I think!

Saturday night was a games night at a friend's house. We played "Settlers of Catan", a German board game that took about 5 hours to set up and explain. Once we got into it it was OK, but in the beginning it was all a bit confusing and there were a few frustrating moments. As is usual with these events we had massively overcatered and I managed to eat too much again. I brought vegie hotdogs cos I had a craving and the host had made a gargatuan pasta salad, plus dessert to follow. It was a good night, but I was a bit on the quiet side due to feeling less than 100%. Sunday I moped around being sick for most of the day, did a little uni work and watched TV. Yesterday was similar but I was feeling a bit better so managed to do some cleaning up and more work and even visited the pool!

My friend from Japan is visiting next weekend so I have to come up with a thousand and one things to show them while they're here. I have an appointment at the vaccination clinic again so I guess that's one thing they'll be seeing...
