Hop, skip & a week

I haven't posted anything all week, or all last week either. So ...

On Monday I had a shift at work and it wasn't that terrible either. Angelo, former Little Swallows owner and Beaumont St's resident dreamboat, drove past as I was cleaning the front windows and waved. Dreamy. Word has it he left his wife for an 18-yr-old. Sigh. And the day just got better with a free latte from Little Swallows (guerrilla advertising much?). The only thing better than a latte is a free latte! The Beaumont St part of my day finished with a bad pot of chai tea with a friend after my shift. This should have been a slight indicator for what was to come..

I went to Mayfield woolworths to get some broccoli and peanut sauce and while I was avoiding an awkward encounter with a past friend, I was subjected to an unavoidable encounter with somebody who is not a friend. 'Miss Mayfield' is a friend of one of Luke's ex-gfs who goes out of her way to embarrass herself, cause a scene and make insulting remarks to us when she sees us out and about. Which is always fun. As she walked past me she lent in close and called me a 'faggot'. This is funny for a couple of reasons, mostly because I am married to a male and secondly because Miss Mayfield has not actually spoken to me - aside from her recurring insults. It is hard to take her so seriously though as she trolls about Newcastle with her faux punk attitude and dirty, bitter scowls. IT IS NOT MY FAULT GWEN DIDN'T WANT YOU AS ONE OF HER HARAJUKU GIRLS. 

One of my housemates was offered an amazing opportunity and will be leaving 79 next week so most of this week will be spent getting tipsy, watching movies, imitating each other and Lisa Mitchell and shots! Which has been most of my week so far anyway. Bye Elisha!

Also during the week, Luke and I dusted off the Blythes and took them to the cement lounge along the walk way next to the river/creek and took some photos. Ha! I haven't paid any attention to my little Blythes in foreverrr!
