yellow saturday with the kids

the kids being us, sitting in bed studying. the yellow being the sky outside. its about to start raining again. we've had quite the week, and not a very good one unfortunately, we've had hand ins every day of the week and the one on thursday didn't go to well either. we'd kind of misinterpreted what we had to do but its all good now, we've revised it and sent it off to Mark who thought the new stuff was great - so all good.

we almost got a house too, i say almost, because it was really close. it was only us and one other applicant and the real estater recommended us since Jos already is renting from them. so you'd thought we'd get it. but no, of course it so happens that the landlors is friends with the other applicants. what are the odds? well, no harm done, well find another one. in fact there's two quite promising ones coming up. both have red door. very pretty.

yesterday I worked in the afternoon and then met up with Lou, Oliver, Brigitte, Nadia and went to China Heights for an exhibition opening. We buy your kids amongst others had made screen printed posters, really nice. Toby bought 7 of them to FBA's new studio. I'm jealous, I want to have them too. but maybe we can, since we decided (well, Lou and I) that they're gonna sponsor us so we can stay here. Then we went back to Thomson St, had a ping pong competition cause the favourite siblings just got a free ping pong table - amazing! sweden won, Lou and I beat the hell out of Australia!! no one saw that one coming. First we took down Oliver and Toby, then Brigitte and Nadia, then Garth and Natasha. Then unfortunately Australia stepped up (while filling up our  wine for advantage purposes) in the means of Toby and Michael and won 3 to 2 I think. well, we rocked.

Then we went to Chingalings for a bit of fun. We got invitations to their birthday party on saturday, very exciting, its gonna be a really good night since it happens to be Brigittes birthday that day too. And she's having a party, a zoo-themed party we decided. Lou and I are going as leopards - I'm wearing the leopard jumpsuit my sister sent me and Lou's wearing my snowleopard tights and a black dress. Jos and Oliver are going as tigers with their matching 5-dollar tiger cardigans and Brigitte's gonna be a panther or a puma. I don't know about the others, I think I herad Garth was gonna be a horse. Should be interesting, especially if he does his dance.

Well, tonight Lou and I are watching movies and eating candy, we're gonna rent City of God. Haven't had myskväll since I was in Sweden. So it's time.
