Work is going okay. Its a very complex procedure using the database to input and amend records. Its a bit of a headache I just have to get used to it.
This weekend has been really nice, weather wise. Yesterday we walked to town where we got a rice ball each from the mall, then walked in the direction of the botanical gardens but stumbled upon a Korean festival. We got noodles there which were tasty, and watched a cute dance by the children.
The botanical gardens were nice. Spring has sprung and the flowers are in bloom. We visited the birds in the aviary again and we saw fantails flying close to us. There was also a spot of grass where a duck was relaxing in the sunshine. Sabine wanted to get as close to it as possible, but it was just wanting to relax and not be disturbed. It hissed at her! Hissed! a mallard male duck hissed because it didn't want to be disturbed! XD
Walking back to town, we noticed how appalling the student accommodations are around the university. They are truly vial. Unclean, unkempt and horrible.
We got a nice ice cream when walking home.
My shoes have holes in, even though I've been wearing them for only 4 months. So we went to The Warehouse where I bought a new pair. We also had fun looking at the clearance CD's to get for the car. Oh, I also got a nice BBQ sauce earlier to have with dinners. Its really tasty!
I cut the grass- again! Yes, it needed it. Erghhhh.
Today we visited the Chinese Garden again! They are celebrating the Moon festival today too! We got down there for something like 11:30ish. It was getting progressively crowded as the hours went on by, but we saw performers doing there thing. Most were terrible but some were Okay. Some were really slow and long drawn out.
We ordered a tea and a bun and it took ages to come and when it finally did it was during all the performances so it was a bit awkward. I dont know why they decided to have the festival stuff in such a tiny area. It was packed solid. They could have done with having that stuff out front where they actually have the space for it.
There was also a mother duck with 11 ducklings. 11!
The cats in our area are getting tamer. There is a new cat, a fat black cat, that looooves affection. He has been in and out the house, loves strokes and purrs too. :3 We are so lucky to have this cat visit us. The ginger too likes strokes. Things seem to be improving since we have decided to start discouraging fat kitty. I even threw water on it the other day and it scarpered pretty quickly.
We have also bought more garden bird fat balls. The Silvereyes haven't been around recently sadly. :(
