Crazy Times!

The weather was pretty grizzy all Monday, then Monday night the weather just went off for a few hours, huge gusts of wind and absolutley bucketing down.
Then all of a sudden in the middle of the night, while I was already in bed, it just stopped!

It was strange but I thought nothing of it till the next morning on my way into work. The roads were covered in mud and I drove past at least 4 abandoned cars just left by the side of the road. It was eery.

Then when I got into work the workshop had been flooded and the mechanics wouldn't be doing any work all day.
Later, on the news, I learned neighbouring town (about 4 hours drive away) had been hit by a mini tornado...... TORNADO??? In this country, bizare!

So work was weird today as I only had one single follow up call to do.

Then when I went off I headed to Dan Murphy's to see if I could find an obsure liquor I had just heard about, there was none, but it wasn't a total waste I got all patriotic to the homeland (nearby to the home land anyways) and bought this bottle of Kirsberry. I have yet to try it but it sounds great. 100% natural and made with just cherries.

I did manage to get a Rose as well. Bird in Hand Pinot Rose. Will try that tonight after dinner.

Had to do the shopping this arvo but Woolies didn't have any veggies, stupid flooding cut off the food supply again (getting use to that but wish I wasn't ) so instead of the usual chunky veggie and chicken soup we normally have on wednesdays we will be having Sri Lanken Chicken Curry, as there seems to be no shortage of meat still.

Ebay Clothes!!!!

Shopping for clothes on eBay is, in my mind at least, the greatest!!!
Usually the clothes are way cheaper than in the stores, you don't have to deal with shitty customer service and usually you can find cool shit that isn't in any of the stores anyway.
These black lace gloves set me back $5!
Thats right, just $5

These boots are from Funtasma and only cost me $60 off eBay where if I bought them in the store they usually cost around twice that.
I think they are super cute!

And last but definatley not lest.... Angel Secret is one of my FAVORITES
There clothes are reasonably prices and made from breathable material and fit beautifully
This dress was just too gorgeous to pass up and at only $41 a total bargain

Emily and Lyn have paid for their own expenses but are seeking donations to assist in purchasing much need medical equipment and supplies. They will be taking as many supplies as possible a...nd are hoping to purchase a foetal doppler to take with them. A Tuk Tuk Ambulance, which they hope to buy in Cambodia, is also on their wish list.

French Wine

For my 30th birthday, that I recentley celebrated in Brisbane QLD with my friends at a Turkish resturant called Caravanserai - http://www.caravanserairestaurant.com.au/, my dear french friend gave me a bottle of wine.
Les Petites Vignettes - Pinot Blanc 2009
Its from the Alsace wine region and as the providence has switched between German and French sovereignty it is described as Franco-Germanic
It is a fairly light wine that is easy to drink and at 7.1 standard drinks a bottle is a devine way to brighten the cheeks.
I am right now drinking the last of my bottle.
