Sutra: Going back in time

This is what happens at the beginning of spring. All these lovely flowers come out and make their home at the block! I loved the justaposition of the lovely little purple flowers with the barbed wire, these flowers were growing in a few places all down the fence. They are probably a weed, but they look lovely!

My cute little car is nearly a 4wheel drive! It made it around the back of the house, which is no easy feat!

This is my desk at my new work the first week i started! Very interesting huh...

Another pretty view of my house for you to gasp at its lovelyness

My car before the little silver one :( got stolen and burnt! Of all the bogan things that could happen. This pretty much tops it all!

Snow on the mountain in winter

More snow.

This is how cool people put up plaster! With great difficulty in fact! J actually welded up this special plaster hoisting device on to an old hospital bed!

My first trip in my new little car. Yes i took this picture while driving. Dont tell me you have not done the same!

My last day at the old office! And my biiiiiiig bag i was given by my old boss! I am in fact trying to fit inside the bag. I mean, thats what you are supposed to do right?

My old work view! Just had to show you and also remind myself how lovely it was!

So thats it. I am actually rushing as i am off up the block now!
Using a new app (for me) called draftcraft to edit this post. It has a few failings...

Sutra: So... What's up?

I have not posted in a million years! Sorry about that... I just was not feeling it!
This is what's been happening lately. Including getting a new job which I love!
Plastering our house... Which is not fun at all! You should all know this and then don't do it! It's messy and dusty and plaster dust is hell on hair!!!

Lovely flowers from my work colleague as a thank you for doing her makeup before a super fancy awards dinner we went to with the other 'corporate office' staff

Me doing my best impression if a gypsy... or something. As I said, plaster is really really bad for your hair. If you like dry shampoo, you might like to get a little bit from a building site and try rubbing it in your roots... or not. I will let you decide.

A Hallway... Amazing yeah? I think the last post I did was back in April and maybe we just had the timber studs? Well look! Now all those studs have plaster on them! Way big improvement

This here is the dining area. See a fireplace on the left right there? Thats where we can cook sausages and potatoes. (I sanded this whole room and now I have to paint it. Envy me at all?)

Breakfast with some girls because one of said girls (the one on the left) was down for a few days from a place which will remain unmentioned, because she doesn't like it! Mine is the biggest!

This is the sexy J having a nanna nap. He can nap like nobodies business. I on the otherhand cannot. It is one of the great mysteries of the universe as to why I cannot sleep during the day, in a car or just about anywhere else.

And thats all I have for now. I dont want to overload you on my first blog back in ages with my awesome boringness. I will save that for next time.

Sutra: Beige....

I am not a fan of beige really... But seeing it on our house looks good! Because you know what this means? It means that out house is very nearly water and wind proof!!!! eeeeeee!

See how fab it is looking! Admit it, your jealous!

Sutra: Outdoor Walls and Floor

Well, I haven't been around much lately.

Thats because every waking moment when I am not sleeping or at work I am at the block.

As you can see we have been busy! You will notice that we now have decks which you can actually walk on! Great huh!

We have actually also done a bunch more cladding since, and seeing as J will be working his cute butt off over the 4 day easter break I bet that we will have a bunch more done.

I will assist by eating left over chocolate and endeavoring not to distract him from his purpose by whining at him every 10 minutes that we should be going to the beach... Hard work.

Aside from the necessary I have also recently been reading alot. Which though it may sound like a fine thing to do. When I read it becomes like an obsession so much so that I don't sleep because I am busy making up plot lines in my head and I sneak peeks in traffic, while driving, while at work and where ever else I can find 10 seconds.

I read The Hunger Games, I didn't like it (don't kill me). I didn't like the way it was written especially the second and third book. I felt that the author didn't make full use of the characters. I felt like the used them as a scapegoat so she didn't have to write about stuff she couldn't be assed to expand on. I am probably being way harsh. Truth be told I was in love with them while I was reading them... Then about halfway through the second book I started getting annoyed.

I also read this series by Jennifer Rardin. Completely great and funny. Then I started reading these books by P.C and Kristen cast, The House of Night series which is pretty good. Then I came across the Tempest series by Nicole Peeler and I super giggled at these. Now I am reading Evermore by Alyson Noel. Which I am not yet convinced I am enjoying. It's very ponderous. See a theme? Yep, cos I find the name of a new series while I am looking in iBooks for the other authors books. So I will continue on with this theme for a little bit longer until I run out of decent stuff to read. (OK so it's not all that decent. Don't judge)

Now that you understand I am completely and totally nutso, please enjoy this sunset

Sutra: Arachnophobic's should look away...

I don't like spiders. They are fine as long as I can't see them. But I have some photos of spiders who have been in my life recently to share with you. But first lets look at some highland plant life...

This native highland plant thing is lovely. I love the pink and pale turquoise-ey colouring. I actually would like to incorporate that pink into my house some how...

This moss is terribly interesting. I love moss, which is strange, I know. But I actually think its really lovely. This moss looked soft like a little green pillow, but up close it has spiky leaves, and to touch it's hard like a rock is underneath. But there is not. I checked!

Ok now for the spiders...

Ew. yuck. Your trying to hide. But you should know I see you. And if you come near me I have a shoe and I am not afraid to use my whole body's weight (not insignificant) to crush you.

*disclaimer: I prefer not to crush spiders, I am from the school of 'live and let live' and I feel bad if I do squish them... But if it was a life or death situation.... well

Ok your not too bad. Just please do no crawl near me...

Argh! What the feck are you doing in my car. In the dark. While I am driving. Don't you have some place other to be? Like outside?

Ew ew ew ew ew

*I did not squish any of these spiders. The one in my car I actually managed to flick out with my shoe this morning. I took approx 2 minutes of mumbling to my self and swiping with shoe before it fell out.

Now, aren't you glad I shared all that with you. It was very insightful, and kinda made my stomach turn.

Ok, now think about moss.... Much better

Sutra: Workplace Safety

We, at 'the block', are incredibly safety conscious. Just look at this excellent ramp we made in order to carry the windows into the house! (Just don't step on the loose ends, K?)

Below is what it looks like when you have windows in.

Its a wicked feeling! The frames are a colour called Monument (a dark grey w a slight green tinge) I am really happy with the colour I think they will be great with the colours we are planning to paint the interior and exterior of the house.

The below picture is completely irrelevant to anything... But I liked it cos the birds are loving resting on this radio tower!

They were seriously all the way from the bottom to the top and just everywhere. When I jumped out of the car to take this picture it was a real cacophony of bird tweets.

I very much like birds...

Sutra: Glossy Box Feb

After the phenomenal disappointment that was the Jan Glossy Box (temporary tattoos, blue eyeliner, lipgloss that smelt like plastic), the Feb one is almost as bad... But not quite.

A lipstick from Face of Australia that is not a good colour for me.

Proactive, the worst thing for my skin possible.

Mini nail files... Handy, will keep in my bag

Nail polish in a dark pinky red. Will use this.

and an olive lip balm. smells pretty but have not used yet so can't give you an accurate review.

I cancelled my subscription but I might try another brand of box and see if thats better... I hear Bella Box has been pretty good?

Sutra: Friday Night

Ok so. I am not that good at pole y'all. It just so happens that there are only like 5 anywhere near advanced students!!!

One of our favourite moves is the balance plank. My friend and I always do doubles becuase we are the only ones in Tas who do!!!

My desert after a hard nights work!!!

Sutra: Festivale

For the last 2 years I have done a pole performance at Festivale (a local food, wine and entertainment festival)

This year again I am doing a doubles performance Friday and Saturday night.

I am nervous because the performance is tonight and I always forget what I am doing on stage cos of all the nerves and stuff. Hopefully I don't make a spaz of myself...

Also, its supposed to rain tonight! Argh! You sooooo cannot pole in the rain!

I will try and get someone to take photos and then I can post some here if I look awesome and skinny.

I have a video of last years and even the year before's performances. But I am not going to link them because I look yucky and Fat! I am still not lean and fit looking. So it depends on how the video comes out. If you are really excited about searching for it on youtube you will be able to find them in like 2 seconds. Well depends how left or right brained you are as to whether you will be able to clue into some key factors and search the right phrase to find the video.

I commend you if you can be assed to do this!

Sutra: The Disclaimer...

Ok, I am sorry if I say something to you, or you say something to me and I reply, which sounds weird/ridiculous/offensive etc.

I actually can't help it. I am slightly to the left when it comes to chit chat.

It's inherited I think. My mum says she says stuff that other people feel is weird too. I am yet to see this and I have nearly been in her life for half her life!

I really need to say straight after "Sorry that was a dumb ass thing to say/ not funny at all" But then I believe thats even more awkward than just letting it go.

So if I am ever communicating with you and you think t your self "Gosh this girl is a bit odd" now you can understand that this is a natural reaction upon meeting me and you are not alone!

Happy now?

K bye
