its the long ANZAC day weekend.. made longer cos i had one extra day off work
3 day work week, 4 day weekend- the way life is meant to be!

for some reason, i'm craving ANZAC biscuits... after we had a lovely morning tea when my coll brought some in.. mm mm.. so yummy and chewy..
the baking spirit has returned, and so i made some blueberry crumble muffins last weekend and the MOST HEAVENLY sticky date pud with caramel sauce with the girls..
oh mans.. straight out of the oven.. steaming hot with syrupy golden brown sauce.
i honestly think its one of the best desserts ever.

had one of the funniest stories at work..
being the physio of one of the consultant's mom... oh mans..
Mrs X refused physio because she had no slippers.. so me kindly offered to ring someone to bring some in
Mrs X: Just ring my son!
Me: ehh.. is there ANYONE else i can ring?
Mrs X: no no.. just ring him and if not i'll give u someone else's name
Me:.....

and so. i had to page a consultant. and ask him for slippers.
its sort of like.. paging the big big boss of your work.
right.
My coll.. bursting out laughing beside me went: its ok joy... everyone has a mother.. so just think you are ringing family! and you WOULD ring the son!!
and all the docs had a good giggle when consultant rings back 15 mins later going" thanks for the page! slippers will be up in 5 mins!"
Doc G comments wryly " yeah.. he prob has one of his residents bringing it up now"
the power of connections.....

off to the peninsula hot springs tom.. :)

FUNNIEST moment of the year happened over the weekend.
went to watch the australian ballet at sidney myer music bowl on fri.. under the stars... on a picnic mat.. with a picnic basket. freezing cold.. (about 10 degrees). spectacular dancing and all..
awesome night.. that went really well..
unitl al tried popping a HUGE meat ball on my plate.. which promptly bounced off like a tennis ball, and started rolling down the slope (if u know what the grounds are like.. its a long slope-y downhill to the stage)
kept rolling
and rolling
...
...
...
we were laughing so hard.
and about 10 metres down.. ended up just behind some poor man's butt.
oh dear.
tomato meat-bally pants!!
(of course were we not nice enough to pick it up after... but if u are out there.. a big apology from us)

attended a nice wedding at the botanical gardens too.. my first outdoorsy wedding
pretty and all.. lots of gawkers and tourists standing by the lake just watching and taking pictures.
and some lady with the dog that sat on the bench just behind where the bride entered through the archway.
abit weird.
but beautiful!

and the comedy fest in melb has been good.
and off work today too.. so caught up with korean friend dr jess jess..
who drags me around to all the korean grocery stores and makes me buy funny stuff which apparently tastes great.
we'll see.
feel like a fat slob.
shld exercise more.
good bye.
