I am still here

Oh Dear Blog, how I have neglected you...  Please accept my apologies.

I was planning on doing a big post today but I am buggered so it will be a quick summary of my week.

 - Enrolled to go back to Uni
 - Had a binge that lasted several days
 - My Achilles keeps swelling up to mammoth proportions even though it doesn't actually hurt
 - Joined Weight Watchers online
 - Had a hell week at work
 - Spent a day with my Mum, Sister and Niece playing Boggle
 - Am in the middle of making about 15 "softies" to be sent to Qld kids who have lost everything

I think that covers it. If you want me to expand on anything just leave a comment, otherwise I'll start fresh tomorrow. :)

Fundraising

My Worlds Greatest Shave Fundraising seems to have hit a wall. It hasn't moved in weeks. I am guess because of the Qld Floods everyone is directing their money there, which I completely understand....

I really want to get to my goal. If anyone can help the link to donate is directly tot he right of where you are reading.

I Smashed It!

Guess who rode 51.19kms today....

I did not go for my ride last weekend where I was due to ride 42kms. Today was meant to be 45kms. I have not been on the bike for over a week and something in me told me to just go for the 50.

So I did!

We got on the bikes and headed for Outer Harbour. 26kms later we were there. Stopped for brunch and a rest then headed back - straight into a head wind. My butt was amazingly sore plus I had some underwear elastic/hair/giney issues.  Made the ride home incredibly slow going.  But I did it. I skipped all the lead up and went straight for the home run!

And I SMASHED it!!!!

On to other news - camp was great but completely exhausting. I spent yesterday in bed. Food was average. But very overly processed. The chef had no idea about feeding vegos (or coeliacs for that matter) so those of us with special dietary requirements pretty much got the same crap at every meal. I feel fatter so no doubt I have gained weight, but am getting serious again this week.

I haven't caught up on any blogs anywhere so I am sorry for that. But I hope everyone is doing great and I will catch up during the week.

Camp Days 2 & 3

Good Morning

Just a quick one today. Sorry for the lack of updates but we aren't allowed to use phones when the kids are around and by the time they're gone I'm exhausted.

Tuesday was spent movie making. And not just crappy kids running around with handhelds, we had full on film crews. We spent the day shooting 6 short films which the crews are going to edit and we will get to watch tonight.

Yesterday we spent the day doing outdoor activities. High ropes, rock wall, flying fox & leap of faith. The kids loved it. Last night we went to the movies to see Little Fockers. It was ok.

This morni we have laser skirmish and tonight we go to the Oscars for the viewing and Award Presentation. Then the Disco.

Leaving tomorrow. Regular updates will resume shortly...

Camp Day 1

Well the first day of camp went well. We started out roller skating. I debated about the whole Achilles injury on skates thing & eventually decided that even though I really wanted to give it a go, it just wasn't worth the risk. :o(

All the kids had a great time though, and that is what matters.

The afternoon was cooking. Not ur boring everyday cooking class for teenagers, but Bradd Johns who is the Executive Chef for one of the fancy schmancy restaurants in town. It was awesome. All the kids took part and the resulting dinner was delish!

Today we are making movies. Should be good.

Busy busy busy

Every day I know I have things to blog about, but then tine gets away from me and I haven't blogged for days... And of course, I can not remember what I was going to blog about... LOL

This week I am off to Camp Quality. I am looking forward to it, but I am also a bit nervous, I was meant to be a rover (general helper) but they are desperately short on companions so this week I got roped into being a companion again. To 3 x 13 year old boys... What do 13 year old boys do? Oh well, I am sure I will work it out.

Yesterday morning I went to a new photography group. We wandered around the city for a few hours, ducking in and out of alleys and laneways. I was really nervous about meeting a group of new people, but it was great.
