This and That

So there isnt much going on around here in good 'ol Canberra at the moment. Jeremy and Loic (not Loric as I've been saying... lol) are currently Camping on the coast somewhere on the way to Melbourne. I am here housesitting and babysitting the dog. I was supposed to go but the girl who usually house sits the house and the dog was unable to stay past thursday, so I decided that I would stay here with the Dog so Loic (who is only in the country for two months) could have a longer, more worthwhile trip, instead of driving 7 hours, only to turn back and drive back two days later...  So here I am watching a show on the Australian Disney Channel about three mermaids, one of which whos name is Emma... ANYWAYS. I know you know how exciting that is, so I'm going to stop telling you about that and talk about something else. I've decided that I'll talk about new things I've discovered here that we dont have back in Canada. First on my list are Tim Tams. They are these cookies here and they are really hardish and crispy on the inside and coated with chocolate and with a chocolate centre. mmmm. so here is the catch. if you bite the corner off of one end, and the opposite corner of the other end, and then put one of the severed corners in milk and the other in your mouth you can use the cookie as a straw!! annnd when youre done, the inside is all mushy and yummy. AND the chocolate doesnt melf in your hands. AH I just love them, theyre brilliant! Hmmm secondly, There is this pop called 'solo'. I have never been one for carbonated drinks, but this solo is like fresh and yummmy. It's like carbonated lemonade. It's delish. and ALSO apparently there is another lemon pop drink that's even better, called lift.  I am quite pumped to try it.  I love the birds, but you all know that. I just still can't get over the fact that there are parrots just chillin out outside my window. That blows my mind. And cockatoos just fly around eye level in the park. Magpies sing all pretty and such but they swoop down and attack the unsuspecting bike rider. and these pink breasted birds (name is escaping me) just hand around on telephone wires. (ps... the mermaid show is over and now ive flipped the channel and there's something about kangaroos on so i kept it cause theyre cuuuute) So also i love this cereal called Weet-Bix Berry bites. its delish. they are big sqares of bran cereal type stuff with bits of fruit-to-go pieces in it. its yummy yum yum. Um that's really all I can think of right now...  I am sitting here and I'm breaking out in hives, perhaps because the dog is NOT a non-allergenic dog. and I get hives with cats soooo I'm not surprised if these hives are from the puppy dog cause I've been cuddling her all day.. ahhh. So for now I am out of here to watch some more disney channel (I got bored of the Kangaroo show).  I find it noteworthy that I get scared when I house-sit at night, esp in another country on the other side of the world with killer spiders.. eek. Should be a good night :S maybe you'll hear from me again if I need to come back and get my mind off of things!  oh boy. g'night mates!
