I realised tonight I hadn't downloaded my photos in over a week.. oops!!
Last weekend was very springy...
A few of my mint seedlings survived the winter and are starting to thrive again..
This currawong sat in the back yard for quite a while, which gave me time to get a photo of it..
A young (pink) daisy..
A few shots of Canberra/Gungahlin..
I'll never tire of the blossom trees around here..
Not sure what this is..?
I like the cutlery they have in the Thai place we went to for lunch on Wednesday (Lemon Grass I think??)..
Of course the big news of this week is that we exchanged contracts for a house!! Terribly exciting for us :) Turns out our new house has a beautiful weeping cherry which is in full bloom at the moment..
Saw this on the ground on Friday afternoon, which I deemed stop-in-the-middle-of-the-city-to-take-a-photo-worthy..
Friday evening saw a bunch of us go to the Wig and Pen for after work drinks. It was a good fun night, although the place is far too pricey to be wanting to do it too often. At one point we got one beer, a plate of chips and a plate of wedges. For $21.30 ?!?!? Friggen rip-off. But the beer is pretty good.
On Saturday, Annie and most of the rest of the family came over with French champagne to celebrate our house-buying (actually the champagne was given to them when Little Squishy was born, but they hadn't gotten around to drinking it.. so we celebrated both occasions :) )
With our dinner (home-made pizzas) we opened another one of our wedding wines - a very nice Coonawarra shiraz. Quite delicious.. for a red wine ;)
Today we spent much of the day cleaning up the house in preparation for moving out.
And we went to the book fair :)
We filled up a shopping bag ($10 worth) with 38 books, so think we got our money's worth :)
Here's the ones I grabbed..
I'm most excited about "The Final Countdown". Dad and I saw this movie years and years ago, and then couldn't remember the name of it for the longest time. I've not seen it again since, so will be cool to read the book.
And so that's pretty much the last week and a bit.... :)

The Final Countdown finally ended up on DVD... if you liked it, did you ever see The Philadelphia Experiment?
Kazza the Blank One
ah no I don't think I ever saw that one.. (or if I did I have no memory of it :) )

I'm thinking the beers are 3 Guinness, a half & half (half Guinness half plain old beer), two lagers and a cider drink.

There's three stouts (not Guinness and not sure if all the same or not).. a Ballyragget Irish Red Ale and a Rumpole Pale Ale (we think).. the second last one their Kamberra Kölsch and the last one one of the pale ales or blondes. All beer.. although the third from the end we think was a light beer.... meh it's all too hard really :)
