Day One

This is the first day of blogging at Illawarra TAFE. I think it is amazing that TAFE recommends and endorses this in the learning curriculum. But hey, who am I to buck the system?
I can't promise that this will be an exciting representation of my life, but meh, I'll give it a whirl.

So last night I put my clothes in the washing machine and set the timer for five hours. I did this because I knew that the wash cycle took approximately two hours to complete. So, by setting this at five hours the wash cycle would commence at 5 am and theoretically finish at 7 am.

As soon as I got up I had my shower and breakfast trying ALDI new American style super crunchy peanut butter (actually quite nice; more nuts than Kraft). Once I finished my coffee I made my way to the laundry and put the clothes in the washing basket. I opened the door and descended down the stairs. For some reason I was puzzled. I was singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady, not sure why but it got me through the dreary process of hanging my articles of clothing. The only problem was that I couldn't seem to get pat the chorus "... I could have danced all night.... I could have danced all night .... and still come back for more .... I could have spread my wings and did a thousand things .... hmm hmmm daa daa daa daa .... "
That's all I knew so I just kept basically repeating those words. Neighbours would have been gripped to the teeth by this repetitive piece of music.

Went back inside and looked at the clock "bum - a quarter to nine". So I popped my water in my backpack and made my way to the backyard.

Big drama! My partners car was parked behind mine, "Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed (sorry Christianity... Hail Mary and all that jazz) I had to reverse his car to get mine out. Time running out and fast, I whipped inside got the keys and reversed the car out using the side view mirrors (I did open the gate first and didn't reverse through it contrary to what some people think of my driving). Next I ran inside deposited his keys then got my keys and reversed my car, again looking in the side view mirrors careful not to side swipe the cherry blossom tree with it's myriad of flowers blooming ... three I think in total at the moment.

I drove to TAFE, sick to death of my theatre songs that I have been singing for the last 8 weeks and today changed the disc in the disc changer to Vera Lynn and "There'll Always Be An England". Strange I know, but very stirring, and motorists just love it when they've pulled up beside me at the lights. Yey - you rock Vera. She's a 1940's chick but so relevant in today’s world. Especially when you take off at the Moss Street lights and say to the motorist beside you "We'll Meet Again" which indeed we did at the set of lights at Bridge Road.

Made it to TAFE safely - phew.
Wow - what a morning and the teacher had a fresh coffee on her desk and all I had was lousy Shoalhaven water..... but hey it's better than a boar or generic soft drink, which defies drinking at the best of times.

Gossip Girl

Sorry, I stole that from Channel 9's Blog teen drama which is now on the Go channel. Will try and think of something more exciting and dare I say original over the coming week.
