The 7th last weekend of the year

Well it's a bit scary to think that this was the 7th last weekend of the year. 2015 is really charging towards us now.

14th, 15th, 16th November

Friday: What a mixed bag of a day. Kirsty asked me to house sit while she worked as she was waiting for technicians to come and install her internet. However, they told her on the morning that they wouldn't need to come out after all! I still stayed at Kirsty's house because I was already there, and she had air conditioning and she lives a 2 minute drive from my dentist. I visited my dentist and he cleaned my teeth for me and confirmed that I hadn't done any major damage from hitting myself in the face with that garage sale sign the other weekend. I bought Kirsty pizza from Mina Bakery (yum) and then when she got home from school the second time she bought me a slurpee from 7/11 (yum!). I headed to Campbelltown that afternoon to visit Idiotsnot, pick up Soong's Christmas present, and help Julian with his homework. We ended up just eating heaps of fruit and shouting Childish Gambino at each other but it was valuable time. Then rushed home to give Soong his Christmas present and he was so excited to receive an iPhone5. Yay. Youth group was awesome as usual.

Saturday: A guy came to give us a quote for an awning in our backyard. Now that we have concrete, we need some shade, and once we have shade we can put some form of dining furniture outside and then we can build our barbecue and have people over. Yay! So we had a big discussion about awnings. Soong had organised a little holiday for us, so we packed and drove up to the Central Coast. Super fun! He took me to the Australian Reptile Park and we got to see all these really cool animals. I patted a kangaroo and a snake. It was really exciting and fun. We had Hungry Jacks for lunch (amazing) and then a huge seafood platter for two for dinner. I was sad that it didn't come with hot chips but it had oysters and muscles!!!! Then we went to the hotel and watched The Last Samurai.

Sunday: Woke up late, Hungry Jacks for breakfast (amazing) and rushed to church. Arrived in the middle of the sermon. Followed church with lunch at Isobel and Pete's place for Anh's birthday - so delicious. So many foods. Spent all afternoon there, then went home exhausted and full. Don't remember doing anything on Sunday night but watching Parks and Rec with Soong and sleeping (still a good use of time!).

It might be a little early to say it, as there are still 6 weekends to go, but I think 2014 is shaping up to be my second favourite year ever (with the inclusion of Dec 2013).

My first favourite was 2009.
