It's been a while, i've been busy with a number of things and just haven't had the time to write this properly. I've been busy with;

Work. Work is going well, i'm on coffees this week which is pretty full-on.  We do about 14 kgs each day, and i'm doing shots today so it's high pressure and loads of mulit-tasking. I'm not good at multi-tasking first thing in the morning. Come to think of it, i'm not good at much first thing in the morning. Can't wait to be an awesome fast barista, though.

We had a number of work functions last week, the unveiling on a new Machine...the Strada.  It's beautiful and I want one. We also had more work drinks (where work paid for everything again!!) at this amazing place in Newtown called Madame Fling-Flongs.  It's an old school type bar which mismatched old retro couches, lamps and amazing music.  in the first 10 mins we were there they had Sufjan Stevens, Zero 7 and Vampire Weekend on the playlist. Nice. They do movie nights where they put up a projector screen, play movies like "The Breakfast Club" and "Donnie Darko", for $20, where you get wine and tapas. Not bad.
Still enjoying work but it takes up a lot of my time and energy.

Brendan. Brendan came and visited this weekend,  which was awesome.  He's a guy I dated for 2-3 years, we had some time apart to move on and we're recently re-visitng our friendship.  He's a fantasic guy, which makes it hard for my family to move on, who ask about him at every Christmas and even invite him to come along. This facebook post explains it all. 

Josie Tuck who is this brendan fellow.. should I be worried?

Catherine Danger Sell Haha, actually he's the one our family asks about at every Christmas! Unfortunately for our whole family, we're just friends. I'm not sure if mum will ever give up hope that we'll get back together though.

Bernice Sell Yep, Brendan for son-in-law. Damn straight!

Laura Sell Preach it Mumma!

We had great fun being tourists, eating pancakes, seeing bats and dinosaur bones, drinking coffee, eating pizza and Sothern Comfort (which I had never tried before. It was like sugar liquer, I can't believe how sweet it is)!

Music.  I went along to meet some people who have a band i'm possibly joining.  I love the music, despite it being angry and miserable, it's beautiful.  Michael (who writes the songs) has a voice that I think crosses the lead singer of the Smiths with the Lead singer of the National.  I'm going to play the glockenspiel/banjo/percussion/bass/whatever. We're mucking around and it's great fun. We're meeting up again next week and will see how I go.  Either way, they're interesting people, he's an English teacher from the UK who spends his mornings writing scripts, screen plays and music, and teaches the rest of the time.  He has a bird with a fancy name (that i likened to Harry Potter, it's shortened to Ludo).  Not sure how it will go, either way, a great hobby and way to make friends.

Other than that, catching up on Survivor and getting more and more angry with Phillip. Anyone?
