Aussie phrase of the day: Muckin' around = messing around/ joking around, "I'm just muckin around, mate!"
In Australian news: two men survived a ship wreck off the eastern seaboard, one of which swam 10 hours to shore; a fugitive Chinese man from Australia was captured by some Chinese students in Atlanta, Georgia by pulling his pants down around his ankles and tying his arms behind his back with his own belt; teachers protested for a wage increase in Perth last Thursday leaving many kids without school to flock to the beaches and pools; and housing prices and the cost of living continues to soar. This is a crazy place I live in - a teacher's protest!?! Whoever heard of such a thing? Only in Australia! These are just a few of the more amazing and amusing pieces of news in last weeks newpapers.
In my world, my feet are throbbing and semi-swollen from working two weddings on the weekend. One wedding was sheer chaos - bridezilla, sloppy drunks and all, while the other wedding was gorgeously appointed, the people respectful (even when drunk), the speeches were a perfect combination of touching and humorous, the MC was hilarious, and everything ran as smooth as silk pie. My feet on the other hand didn't know the difference and begged to be rubbed on Sunday night when I rolled into bed at half past 2 in the morning. I forget what it's like working in hospitality, but I am learning some new drink recipes - fancy a Lychee Martini anyone? I'm not allowed to drink on the job, but they smelled and looked delish! I'll post some pics from the job next time. In the meantime, stay warm and well and have a great week!
This weeks Loves and Disses:
