J'ai une grosse rhume!

I have a bad cold!

So woke up this morning and it was worse. WHY!! I was so close to being perfectly healthy the entire trip! Alas...

Yesterday afternoon - we didnt actually end up seeing the movie. Ill tell you the crazy story: We were going to some far away cnema (i dont know why) so we took the first bus. Then we got off at a bus stop where we were meant to catch a connecting bus but there wasn't a connecting bus so we walked back the way the bus had come for ages until we found a map of all the bus and tram routes. Then we walked for ages (and this was no leisurely stroll; we were rushing!) until we got to a tram stop. Then we got on the tram and got off at a stop that was supposedly near the cinema. But from there, Mireille had no idea where th cinema was, we walked around a bit more, but couldn't find it, and as we were already late for the movie - we retunred home on the tram.

That would have to be the worst story in history - how many 'then's are there??

Then I wandered some more in the afternoon; had a waffle and some hot chestnuts before coming home. I didn't end up going out with Emma and everyone because even at 7 when emma rang I was practically falling asleep and felt awful, so i had a quiet night at home and went to bed early. (A tad depressing considering this is my last week here but oh well!)

Today we are going to have a picnic at the beach!!

Miss you all, see you in just over a week!!

Issy and Cynthia, have fun in Rome, and a good trip home and we will see you there!! And happy birthday for yesterday Cyz!

Wow you must be the only person i know who has actually bought hot chestnuts! What are they like?? I am so curious!
Picnic on the beach, eek, just the thought of that, what with the cold rainy whether we have here today is not pleasant. Hope the whether is better over there, though technically it shouldn't be, seeing as you are the ones nearing the middle of winter, whilst we are supposed to be in the middle of an Australian summer!
Confusing huh.
Hope you get better before you leave, colds on airoplanes are the worst!

Go me! Everyone else must be in hibernation now, although granted monique is in paris, although she might be back by now, my timing is wrong i think, and emma has no internet so i guess the commenters are severly declined currently. Oh well, you get two fun comments from me, plus the really late one on your last blog so i guess that kinda makes up for it!
I know you love my useless and rambling comments simone!

Also, you may not have noticed, but almost everytime i type my name in the box i type it differently. But because the names which show up default to lower case, you can't tell.
The amount of times i have typed in LAura or LAURA or LAUra or something is ubsurd, but i always type my name quickly and then press enter straight away so i have no time to correct it.
Also a few Lara's have crept in there! Who is this Lara person that keeps leaving you random comments i would like to know simone!

Thanks Laura!! I feel loved!! Your rambling makes me feel right at home!

Fair enough about no one having access to internet - but I wonder where Pia is... PIA???? Probably too busy making millions of dollars at Bunnings.

Emma said...

Probably...
Laura I'm sure there is a valid and perfectly understandable reason why you are always posting on Simone's blog and not mine but IT'S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Wow, did you know that when the keyboard is set to caps lock every key automatically types the second in line symbol! How annoying!
So anyway, hope you get better Simone and ditto re Issy and Cyz and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYZ just in case you're reading this!
Can't wait for your party in Aus!
Ciao everyone (wow it took me ages to work out how to spell that!)
