New bedroom

Have spent the last few weeks changing the old study into Chloes new room - for a few reasons butmainly because it is nice and light and airy and also has a patio door to the outside so when she is older she can sneak in late at night and not disturb me (I joke....honestly). I have put curtains up, sewn butterflies onto said curtains, hemmed the bloody things, set up her new bed, lugged furniture around....but Chloe loves it and tonight is spending her first night in there...mainly because she split her water all over her old bed. She looks very small in her big bed - and ver grown up!

We had dress up day today for book week at school and my teaching partner and i went as the Bananas in Pyjamas...bliss the whole day in my pjs..... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The scholl was overrun with Harry Potter, Hermopine Grangers and the like but a few older characters, including the twins, Sabre and Jaegar (and no I did not make those names up) in year 4 who crossdressed and came as Goldilocks and Red Riding hood.....

3 weeks left of this term and then I am off to Honkers for a few weeks. Due to my recent addiction issues with Facebook , I have made contact with a few peeps I went to school with and we are going to have a mini reunion at an old pub of ours whilst I am there. Will be a huge mind buzz to see some of them as I graduated school in June 1991!

Gee I feel old now!

Cure-tastic

Saw The Cure last nightin concert and...wow!

BEST ever concert i have seen - 3 hours of absolute pure joy!

All the old favourites played and a few new ones as well. Robert Smith was inspiring - his voice is great and sounds better live than it does on records. Gallup did his usual jumping round the stage like a maniac whils Pohl did a great job on the guitar filling in keyboard bits and the like. I had forgotten what a great live band they are and also what an "ax-man" Robert can be on the guitar - he rocks.

Crowd was predominatley in thier 30s/40s a few "baby-bats" and Emos around. Was quite funny to watch the younger generation as they got excited over the "well known" songs like Boys dont cry etc whilst us older lot got exceedingly overexcited over old favourites like Night in Cairo. 10.15 Saturday Night etc. Sitting just in front of me was a couple in their late 60's early 70's - and they were rocking all night long - every word sung as well. Also a few kiddies their with parental units - and thats great to see as well.

Set was amazing - 3 encores as well and concert finished with a "kick-arse" version of Killing an Arab.

I danced, I sang, I remember younger times and I reignited my love for The Cure.

I firmly believe that there is a cure song out there for any occassion - go on - ask me!

When I got home - Chloe was on the sofa - apparently she had convinced her Auntie CHoc that sleep is for wimpos and had fallen asleep at 10pm! As soon as she heard my clumpy feet she was awake and crying - not much sleep was got after that -as she was over tired and I was overexcited!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... oi oi oi?

Just been told that I have been accepted as an Aussie citizen - how exciting....
So I better get practising on my aussie skills - any suggestions blog buddies????

Addictions

Was introduced to facebook a whils ago by my sister and for a while only had 1 friend - my sister. But recently there has been a flurry of activity and now Ihavelots of friends - and most excitingly most of them are old school friends who I have not seen of heard from in years. It is most cool to get back in touch with old peeps!
I ahve also decided to go back to HK for the September holidays - and will try to meet up with the HK crowd and reestablish some contact! Coool
