The Steve Irwin ride at Broadway has been replaced. *sad face* Never rode the old one and I have no intention of taking a whirl on this one. Find it slightly odd that they would replace a ride for kids with a character that most kids would not know. Wasn't Pink Panther a thief??? I am currently on the net but still too lazy to check that 'fact'.

Uni sucks. Period. Late night meandering around the campus. Library is conveniently located near the bar. So close that you can hear the uproarious good time mixed with awkward flirting.

The Netball team I filled in for last season won the grand final. I am now a full paying member and got a commemorative mug for being in the winning team. Alas, it was a tad windy and my mug was used a weight for the scoreboard and got a 'minor chip'. Note the bloody finger from when I thrust my hand in there to check on its condition.

The Silver Bullet has reached a momentous occasion! Clocked over 140 000Kms! Shoddily taken on my camera phone whilst at the lights. I have had this car for 7 years. It has helped me move to 9 houses. It may be on the way. It has a bag of coins in the right left wheel, sounds like a dishwasher, and a Duck living in the clutch. I will be sad when I have to say farewell...

My first Roller Derby bout. Sydney's Pistola Cholas took victory of Newcastle's Dockyard Dames. This was the last Sydney bout for the season and I wish I had seen more.

I am a big fan of the break when writing any sort of uni assignment, resets my thoughts and stops the rambles. It has to be some sort of productive break through. I made ANZAC biscuits. Little bit thick though and somewhat hard/crisp.
Biscuits - 21/11
And that was the week that was!
Anzacs are touted as being easy to make and made up of the kind of ingredients everyone has in their cupboards (i.e. war time). I disagree with both of these. They never, ever, turn out how they're supposed to (or at least how I like them) and I always end up having to dash to the shops for coconut/sugar/oats/butter because I've stupidly thought we'd have it already. On the upside they're lovely and Im a big fan! Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteAh, its all in the editing. Really they were not much chop. Waayyyy too much sugar. Followed the recipe as though my life depended on it and then had to add more wetness so it wasn't a crumble! The main failing is that I got lazy and made balls rather then biscuits. Hard as.
ReplyDeleteI thought sugar was on rations at war time...
Keep on practising making ANZAC biscuits. I have been working on mine lately and I am now and am up to about batch ten! I really can't stop eating them once I start...
ReplyDeleteThat Silver Bullet might be just getting in to her prime now, Aly. 140,000 km isn't a real lot for a car. Will you just give it a bit of TLC? That clunking sound around the left wheel is probably just the the worn CV joint. These always wear out in little front-wheel drive cars. Marko had the CV joints replaced in the Laser and it didn't cost much. He also had his clutch repaired at about the same time; It wasn't expensive either. I'm sure that he'd be happy to give you the details. Look after the bullet, Aly!
I'll keep practicing. Just have to remember to keep notes on the recipes I have made. I have one good one... somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe Bullet is due for another service, should be sorted this time round. Thanks for the tip! Think I am preparing myself for the day when I will have to pass it on.
