Compilation Post

I realise that my last post was quite a serious one, but in the same regard we can't let fear or worry take over our entire lives. Because of this I'll address a main point in my blog: Yes... I have been lazy. I meant to post this update nearly two weeks ago, but it has been lying in my drafts folder for quite some time. Because of my pure laziness, this will be more of a compilation post of the last couple of weeks. More India-related posts will come soon, once I can motivate my lazy self to do anything constructive.


I) Anecdote of the day: Hugh brought a bottle of VB when he came up as he was going with the whole "Australian bogan" theme. Dad discovered the VB in question, took one look at it, opened it and poured it down the sink. He then turned to me and said "we don't have VB in our house". (1st July)


II) Back to my life... I've started volunteering with Mum at the Hahndorf Animal Shelter on Thursdays and Fridays, which has actually given me some sort of purpose now that I'm back home again. I've been working with the dogs recently which is good for me, since they're so affectionate and give me the love I so desperately crave *insert sarcasm here*. I've fallen in love with Meika, a young husky who recently gave birth to seven husky x rottweiler puppies. Unfortunately this love affair can't last as it seems that there is no chance I can adopt her.


III) I've been looking for work again, since I'm not too keen on returning to the fast food industry any time soon. I had an interview at SpecSavers on Friday which went really well, but in the end they gave the position to someone who actually was planning on making a career for themselves in optics. I have another interview next week regarding a sales position at a photography company. Fingers crossed!


IV) I saw Brave in 3D at the cinemas with Lachlan, and oh my goodness Disney/Pixar - what a fantastic job. I loved every scene. And the accents.... is it possible to fall in love with a country just from the accents? If so, I may move to Scotland in a heartbeat.


V) I'm also having a number of medical tests at the moment, but I shan't say anything else about them until I get my results back. Nothing worse than worrying if you don't need to! At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself.


Lots of other things have happened, but I won't bore anyone further than absolutely necessary. But before I sign off, I'll exercise my bragging rights and just say that tonight I'm going to the Government House of South Australia as last year I was a youth ambassador for the Cora Barclay Centre. I am really looking forward to this opportunity to meet His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR Governor of South Australia, or as my father has affectionately dubbed him "Kev" and his wife Mrs Liz Scarce. I desperately hope not to embarrass myself as usual in front of them. Wish me luck!
