A bunch of us (Mia, Yannick, Lucas, Olivier, Romain, Lea, Magdilin, Marco) went to Abbey Road in St Kilda for lunch- it's a cafe with lots of music paraphernalia on the walls, so it had a good atmosphere.

Amanda moved out today (she's moving into Ed and Danny's for the remaining 3 weeks she will spend in Melbourne) and Zac returned from Perth to find he had been kicked out of his room since his rent transfer hadn't worked and his phone broke so couldn't contact or be contacted. This meant we now have two large suitcases of his stuff and a didgeridoo in our room whilst he finds a house. During the day I watched an American TV series with French subtitles which I ...

It was very last minute organising of the Frenchies, but last night I drew out Lucas's name in secret Santa, which I was very pleased about as I had plenty of ideas of what to get him. I went to Balaclava to buy my smoked salmon and bread, and also brought him some really cheap red wine and laughing cow cheese, and then went to Malvern to an art shop so I could buy him some fluorescent orange paint. Then I went to Ed and Danny's so me and Amanda could make our...
