It Seems Like Years Since it's Been Clear

Centennial Park on the only bit of sunniness (is that even a word) last weekend.

Made some 'scones' with P before going but they turned out more like flat discs of unbaked flour. OK to eat smothered in topping, CWA may need to review their recipes.

The idea was to go to the park and draw but I'm incompetent when it comes to do that stuff so I took photos of a bunch of flowers that I don't know the name of.

Top left is my drawing attempt....

Enticing the ducks with our breaded discs, weren't overly keen on it.

The swans were on it though. Took a bit of soaking to get them down. In trying to spread the goodness out I got one of the swans in the face and had a bit of a About A Boy moment, all swans left our presence in top health though.

P with one of the monuments. Should have some sort of plaque or something telling you who the individual deserving of such a lofty position is.

Kangaroos Paws, one of the few plants I could name.

Around The Traps

Have been busy and therefore quite slack on putting anything on here. Also, didn't feel like it cause I have not done anything interesting. 

 Happy fruit - 08/11

At uni a lot now. Doing assignment. I work heaps better in the dead of night under the fluorescent lighting in the library. See I do check the blog even if I don't update. Moderating all those comments. 

 Double time on those essays - 09/11

Still at Uni. I do go home for sleep. I get there late. It's like power study. Not in focus as it was 1:30am and I was on my way out and TIRED.

 Uni courtyard - 10/11

Sometimes... there truly is nothing to photograph. This is the house recycling. It looked a lot better in my mind. All shiny. Not so much in photographic from I guess.

 

Drink? - 11/11

 The Silver Bullet is soooo power that just by merely tapping the gutter I can blow a tyre. Awesome skills.

 It had to be a 28 degree day too - 12/11

My first beach day of the year! Finished work at 1:30pm. Decided Freshwater would be best option. Walked down and noticed it looked a bit choppy but thought I'd wing it. Not exactly the best swimmer and do have a bit of a fear of the ocean. I got thrashed. In for a total of 15 mins. Think I managed to stand upright for about 2. Massive drag, went in at the flags and ended up further down the beach. Talked to Flatmate D after and he said Manly was closed for swimmers that day and told me some more Aly friendly beaches for next time.

Sticking close to the guards - 13/11

P and I are trying to do regular runs of a Monday arvo. Again that didn't happen because of rain.

sad flowers - 14/11

Again with the rain. Seriously. I have heard rumours that this crap weather will continue throughout Summer. Kinda glad that I managed a swim the other day then.

Weird flower hybrid - 15/11

One more week and Uni will be gone. Done. Maybe I'll have a ceremonial burning of my two least fav subject textbooks.

Got a dollar

Swamped with Uni related crap.

Have not been doing much else. Many of these photos are from around the Uni.

A different Uni pond - 25/10

Back to that pond (water catchment) from yesterdays photo. Hanging out with the bees and butterflies in the shrubbery. Again with throwing myself into danger. Came out unscathed.

Butterflies - 26/10

Scrappy dinner post. This time in canned form! Decided to mix things up by not having my usually spaghetti on toast. Went for a little underwater theme for tea. There is a starfish, seahorse, crab... the whole gang is there. Dinner should at least be fun if it isn't healthy.

 Friends for tea - 27/10

This guy was hanging about the campus car park eating sticks. Didn't ask me for any change.

Manicure - 28/10

Dr Kat was going to a fancy dress party as a highlighter and had heard of my awesome artistic skills with paint. I agreed to lend my services by painting her bright pink and spraying her hair.Felt like I was at the school fete. Ahhh, good times.

Pink hands - 29/10

And so ends another exciting week in the life of Aly.
