More frivolity

Tonight I am heading off to a charity dinner at the Slovenian Club. Or something like that. I am told there will be food, drinks and dancing. That's enough for me! I am a bit worried that I won't have enough time to prepare for it though since I have students delivering their own training this arvo and it seems like they are all keen to go overtime and take forever. I'd better be outta here at 5 on the dot!

It's been a quick week really. Slow at work again though. So slow. The floor above is having some renos done so there has been banging and drilling and all kinds of noises going on. Sometimes it's so bad we can't hear the phone ringing! I have been amusing myself by reading articles online. That tires my eyes out quickly though. Today I have brought an actual book to read. Might as well. Now I am reading Les Miserables which has been on my list for a long time. I really should brush up on the book club book which we are all going to discuss tomorrow. I have read 3 books since then so I might need a refresher on character names etc! I have decided to go with a soup this time - the host has to provide food. It's become increasingly lavish fare but I am just not up to cooking anything too time consuming. Hope everyone likes potato and leek!

Tomorrow evening I am off to the see the Best of the Fest at the Gov with some friends. It doesn't start until 10:30 so were are heading out for dinner first at about 8. Another late night! I am going to be so tired again on Monday... Tough life aye! Speaking of which - it's only 2 months now until I leave the country. Very excited. I have more and more things booked. Ihad to change my flight home yesterday because Qantas cancelled their direct flight from London to Adelaide via Singapore on the day I was originally coming back on. So now I get an extra day in Spain! That means I get back to Oz on September 7 at 6am or some ridiculous hour. I am not looknig forward to those flights - 2 whole days stuck in various planes. Yes, I think I really should buy an mp3 player before I go... This time I am taking every precaution and taking eye mask, ear plugs and a travel pillow. I have a lot of trouble sleeping in planes, but I am going to have to change that this trip!
