Apparently Allen thinks we're going to run off without giving him any notice, so me and Alice tried to figure out what date we're leaving. Josh invited us to Alana's hen party on the 9th August, and their wedding on the 18th, which is obviously a very hard offer to refuse. Alice wants a proper relaxing holiday as opposed to travelling for a week, so we thought maybe we could go somewhere in between those dates, but we didn't know a cheap island to go to, so I sug...

There was a vague plan to see Bex today, but she was helping sort out stuff to go camping with Barry tomorrow, so I couldn't get her to drive us to DFO (factory outlet place) like I'd wanted. I also wanted to finally go for this run, so thought I'd run to DFO instead- this method worked quite well as there was actually a point in the running, whereas if I was just running along the esplanade it would be easy to just stop at any point because there wasn't a reason...

Masa had told me about a noodle restaurant where you could order extra noodles to put in your broth, so I went there with him and Dane today. We then went back to Masa's and played a PS3 game that was similar to a dance mat but where you play on the console. The music was all by Hatsune Miku- a Japanese pop star who is just a computer animation (like Gorrillaz are), and the animations were very bright, weird and colourful. We asked Masa what some of the lyrics we...

In my break today I brought the ingredients for and made the spinach, leek and feta muffins in the Coles magazine, although they didn't have leeks so I made do with spring onions. I was pretty full from the cheesy chips Sammi had made me for lunch, but tried 2 of them- they were ok but I maybe didn't cook them enough as they fell apart whilst trying to get them out the paper cases, so you had to scrape the remains off with a knife, and they were quite small and m...

I had my first major accident today- I had put myself on bar and was putting a straw back into a drink, and whilst doing so accidently knocked a glass of lemon, lime and bitters and coke all over a woman and her table. Obviously no-one likes having drinks being thrown all over them but I do feel that, given how much I apologised, she could have been a bit less miserable… I'm sure she's clumsy at times too! In my break I went to Cairns Central to buy some run...
