I have had a very pleasant Grannys Outing with Laura ( Michelle Jones) today aboard the Puffing Billy Express in the Dandenong mountains! Originally we were going to book on a tour to Phillip Island, but all the cheeper ones were fully booked up and as I have actually been before I wasn't that bothered about doing something different. It was a bit of a struggle to get out of bed / the sofa at 7am,this morning but I made it. The tour bus took us out of Melbourn...

Today was my first touristy day in ages, and it felt good!! I moved out of my house aka 23 dorothy avenue! I left a dirty mug out on the sideboard in protest!

Today was St Patricks day, and is a universal excuse for a piss up really! Last night was highly amusing. Lesley my room mate came home drunk and ended up moving out… I think from what I could understand a friend of hers in the city had offered her a bed in his hostel in exchange for some cheesy pasta….. problem is she owes rent. ….
