Au revoir

I really didn't want to go to work today. Not because I hate my job or anything - quite the opposite in fact - I love my job. Today was my last day working at the lab in Murdoch, and in a childish sense, I felt that if I didn't go to work I wouldn't have to say goodbye to everybody. Let's hope Armadale has some equally friendly people to work with.

I did some baking yesterday in preparation for my farewell morning tea - banana choc chip muffins and carrot cake with lime and mascarpone icing. The carrot cake is always a crowd pleaser.



It took me a good hour to clean up the mess ... grated carrot is one of my least favourite ingredients to clean up.

We ended up having a feast for morning tea - I should have actually taken a photo of how much food there was. It was insane. I honestly didn't expect such a great turnout..! I think the most unexpected gift was from the cleaners - I'm gonna miss them too! Don't tell them though that I only knew one of their names ... after a few months I realised that it was probably a bit too late to clarfiy what their names were, so I just left it!

I just splurged over $130 on shirts tonight ... I blame the poor-performing Aussie dollar - the total price was $86USD which equates to around $134AUD. But I justify spending the money because two of the shirts are Christmas presents for mates. I have a feeling I'm going to have to dip into savings over this Christmas period ... but I guess that's to be expected.

Tomorrow I'm off to the dentist to get one of my wisdom teeth removed ... my first tooth extraction - I'm not sure what to expect. I'm guessing that with the advances in medicine it will be somewhat painless!? Here's hoping I guess...

I called Jonny today ... kinda woke him up - sorry bro! I assumed that he and Rainer - being interns and all - would be up early (I called at 7:40 Singapore time) but was enlightened by the fact that Ps. Daniel doesn't even wake up until after 10am! So much different to our culture! My bad.

Be My hands and feet.
