Sutra: Water, Water Everywhere...

So, we took delivery of some rather large stainless steel water tanks on Friday. So you know what we did on Saturday?
See how big and shiny they are????
We spent the whole day moving them into location! We strapped them up and used the digger to cart them one by one up the hill. Much more annoying than it sounds. Largely due to the fact that the digger felt like it wanted to tip over when it was carrying that much weight up the hill!

Here they are where they belong! After an extraordinarily long day pushing and pulling a couple of hundred kilos up a hill!
Here are the legs of J, dangling from the top of the tank after a long day!

Sutra: Spring in the air!


Look at these pretty flowers sighted at my work today.
I bet they are the plainest most boring flowers ever but its nice to see flowers at all!

These are Daffodils, see I do know some things! And they are also growing at my work. I actually like daffodils I like their smell and I like their happy yellow colour!

Picture of the wild weather on the coast of Tasmania. I really like the east coast of Tasmania it still seems so natural and remote. Even though there are very decent roads and also many towns and tourist attractions to check out along the way

'Drift trees' on the beach after all the wind has washed them onto the sand.


And a picture of this lemon tart thing I had for a dessert for my mums birthday last week! mmmm yum!

Thats all for now folks. I will attempt not to be so boring in the future. No promises though...

Fattyboombah

I am fat
I am past internally convincing myself that it is only my winter weight. I need to now convince myself that I should eat healthier and exercise more in order to be fab and skinny like Candice Swanepoel.

Image screen shot off VS Access website
Is she freaking kidding me with that body? This is not even a good image! damn!
Ok whatevs, so I will never look like CS due to the fact that I bad genes when it comes to distribution of musculature etc (large stupid calf muscles and huge arm and neck muscles).

So today in honour of deciding that I actually am fat, I did some reps using my Val Slides and like the usual fun stuff (sit ups and those upside down bikey legs and stuff)

Val Slides
Ok so no one would pay me to train them cos I have no idea what I am talking about... But thats ok because I only have to train my self!

Then in other news which does not make me fat, I have run out of patience for paying $25-35 for my shampoo and conditioner off Strawberrynet and so lately when I ran out of my Aveda shampoo I went to the super market and grabbed a bottle of Organic Care shampoo from Woolies. It smells like coconuts which is fabulous and really I kinda think that a shampoo is a shampoo, unless its blue (which mine was not)
Coconut smelling shampoo and conditioner
Cos I was so entranced by the coconut smell of the shampoo I was like "Ok well really for $3something you can also try the conditioner" So I went ahead and brought it! And do you know I think my hair felt softer from using it than it does with Aveda (N.B. Quantities used may vary LOTS due to price differentiation) I will keep using Aveda treatments tho cos they r lovely and make my hair less knotty and cos it gets blonded some and also straightened daily it NEEDS help!

How come some people can straighten their hair and the straightness lasts like 2 days, where mine goes all crumply at night?

Thats all. I am going to brush my teeth now :)

Sutra: My Latest Melb Trip!!!

I have one word for you, and that is Sodashi.
This is an Australian made skin care and it is beautiful! I brought this only as it is pretty expensive to purchase... I brought this because the therapist told me that I have advanced signs of aging around my eye area and this is probably due to the fact that I use drying eye makeup remover. (bum)

We had our facials at the Lyall hotel and the facialists were all wonderful! All my friends who came along for facials were v impressed!


Happily my trip was not all bad news! We ate a lot of good food and drank a lot of good wine!
Delicious savoury crepes from a small French cafe in Hardware Lane. (didnt get a pic of breakfast.. to hungry)

Beautiful fountain on the way to the Melbourne Museum! It looked to me like a brides veil was falling over the fountain.

Amazing Lebanese Tapas at Byblos. (Try the Koosa and the mussels!)

3 dip plate from Byblos (we ate much dip this weekend)
Macarons from La Belle Miette in Hardware Lane, we just chanced upon this little macaron specialty store, but so glad that we did! The Salted Caramel was amazing!


So that was my weekend! Cant wait to go do it all again!!!

Sutra: Grey Steel

So... Look at this and tell me if you know what this is!
What your looking at is a house! (well not yet, but soon)
The left side is the bedroom wing and the right is the kitchen dining and lounge. You may notice that at the back of the right wing there are lotsa concrete feet with nothing on them. This is because the deck will be going here.
It looks kinda small and weird in that pic so here is another

Does that make any more sense?
Probably not...
Have a great week!

Sutra: Slackness

Yes I have been slack.
I would like to be able to say truthfully that this is because I am very busy and important. But I am not.
I have just been painting the legs for our house on the weekend, which is tiring and dirty work! I have been working and applying for jobs and I have been reading books on my iPhone.
That last thing that I mentioned there is actually my current obsession. I have found these kinda cheesy, almost Mills & Boon type books but with vampires in them. This keeps my busy for hours! But now I am kinda sick of reading these books and need to find something a bit different.
So now I am going to begin the daunting task of reading Game of Thrones. Mostly because in episode 10 of the TV series the Kaliessi has dragons and I thought that was pretty bad ass.
Not going to read these on my iPhone though. That would be crazy! I am going to borrow the tomes off J's brother.

Ok y'all have a great day. and try not to freeze if you r anywhere near me atm.

Sutra: My Resume

My resume is here
I have just uploaded it to get some feedback and so people can tell me how awful it is! But as you are reading this blog (you must be to have seen this) Then you may as well just leave me a comment. Or else sign up to Razume yourself.
If you review mine I will review yours ;)

Sutra: Our house will walk...


Our house will walk, see here its legs. Sexy huh!Link

This is what it looks like then there is a cloud of ash and more cloud in front of the sun!Again this is what the sky looks like then an ash cloud is obscuring the light. apparently the moon at like 5am this morning was RED!

Thats all

Sutra: What I hope for my future

I hope that I am happy and I am earning enough money to pay off the house and still live the way I would like to.
I never expect to be rich or even particularly successful, though I guess I could hope for that.
I just want to be happy and in love for my life.
