Day 17 - My very productive day. RIP Phillip Hughes xxx

Hi there and welcome to my day of housework and graduation preparation!

I had a very early start today at 5.30am to head out on the ocean to catch some lobsters! We caught 4 in total which will make a very very lovely dinner. Today was the first time I had ever been out that far in the ocean and the water was just gorgeous... A clear deep blue just like the movies...

After that I sent everyone off to work and school and took on the role as housekeeper. I completed the following chores:

• a mount everest of dishes
• three loads of washing
• tending to the puppies/dogs
• ironed 28 seat covers for my sister's graduation
• and over all tidied up

I am an angel daughter...

It is my little sister's graduation from primary school tomorrow! So I lending a helping hand in setting it all up today in the theme of 'fire and ice' and it looks pretty great!

My sister, Mae, it pretty pumped for her graduation! We tested out some hair styles and it is so unfair because she has THEE most amazing hair ever... She is going to look so fantastic tomorrow! 

I'll definitely be posting pictures, so stay tuned!

I also got a job today as a bartender which will be interesting... But we shall see how it goes I guess!

Lastly, I want to mention that I love cricket. And today was an extremely sad day for the cricket world with the passing of 25 year old, Phillip Hughes. Such a tragic loss of someone so young and so passionate. 

Rest in peace Hughes.

Day 16 - Eventful travels home

Hi there and welcome to the day I finally got to go home!

I was packed and ready to go by 11am this morning. My mum arrived at about 11.30am and being the gorgeous daughter I am, I made her a coffee. 

We then went off for some shopping but headed straight to the food court for some lunch. After wandering past every possible option, we decided on some stuffed baked potatoes... mmmm...

As we lined up to order, an alarm sounded. 

*EMERGENCY! PLEASE EVACUATE*

My initial reaction was, "aw what?! But I'm hungry and I want a baked potato..."

But we listened to the advice of the big loud alarm and went outside the shopping centre to get wok in a box instead... Which was delish!

After all the chaos subsided from what we assumed was a kitchen fire, we went back in to get some essential shopping done for my little sister's primary school graduation.

In the meantime, the weather was WILD! It was 34 degrees with lightening, rain and apparently hail. Up north in a town called Eneabba, near my hometown, the lightening was particularly bad with a number of fires erupting around the area. 

And as it turns out, my siblings were doing swimming lessons at Eneabba at the time! But everyone is safe and the school and some residents were evacuated. I hope everyone is and remains safe and sound!

But eventually I got home to the most gorgeous little puppies! Making our eventful day all worth it! Oh and my family... Hahah love you guys.

So happy to be home!
