Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

Welcome back to my blog (there should be a waving smiley)

It's my grandma's birthday on Tuesday so we took her out to lunch today. She said she wanted to go to 'Dundees Hotel/Dundees Crocodile and Wildlife Park'. *sigh* Yes, I actually sighed when I found out we were going there.


After 4.75 hours sleep, I travelled for 1.5 hours with my family to get to an 'all you can eat' restaurant, randomly placed on the side of a freeway...

$18 buys you 'all you can eat'...not that anyone would ever eat $18 worth of food.

Left to right:
Sister- Lots of carbs, some dead animal (iron and protein) and some veggies under there somewhere
Dad- Err weren't you looking up ways to lower cholesterol on the net last night? Well, ok you've got some protein there and some greens...but I don't know what the brown stuff is
Mum- You like potato, hey? Didn't we get 5kg of potatoes for $2 on Thursday? And you paid $18 for this...?
Grandma- sat too far away so didn't get a pic


My mum also ate some prawns. Nothing more classy than ripping out the intestinal tract of a dead sea creature at the dinner table


HOT WATER My meal...$0...best price EVER


I took a photo of this because it looks pretty Do you prefer rouns sprinkles or the straight sprinkles?

Then we went home I like looking out of the window at the country side which looked like this and this in spots.

This is in a village named Callington. I like clouds.


In other news...

My mum bought 3kg of oranges!!! Oranges make me happy. So does porridge. Porridges with oranges in it makes me super happy.


I baked a lemon and poppy seed cake last week. It was definately NOT the best cake I have ever made, probably because I kind of 'invented' the recipe and didn't put enough eggs in. I still ate it though


Puma shoes are really good in my opinion. Why? I've been wearing the same pair for 5.5 years and they have only started to 'die' recently. I refuse to pay over $50 for shoes, considering shoes priced at $100 are NOT worth $100 (I do learn stuff at uni that I can apply to real life woah! )

I found some Converse shoes in a brochure for $50. When I got to one store the woman said
'Oh it's only the blue ones that are $50. The gold are $80'
Me- So a different colour is $30?!
Woman- Yes...
Me- You can keep the shoes then

Then I went to another store (the same store but a different location) and took the gold shoes to the check-out. They wanted to charge me $80 for them too! However, I used my knoweldge of small print and generally annoyed the staff and got them for $50


I also bought a warm polar fleece jumper recently. It's from Paddy Pallin, an outdoor shop where the staff are soooo much more friendly and helpful than the staff in the store I got my shoes from. I asked the guy for a student discount and got one

With my new jumper, I can ride a bike, go hiking and mountain climbing. Wow, a whole world of opportunities awaits me and my jumper
