Dear Diary - Saturday 26th May 2007
Published May 27, 2007 by Sim inI whole heap happened yesterday! Bek and I both felt highly productive, which is always a nice feeling.
For starters, we woke up at 10:30am! :) we obviously needed the sleep, and then created an enormous breakfast for 11am, including: Bacon, eggs, baked beans, hashbrowns, toast and BBQ sauce! a top breakfast to start the day.
Not long after, beks tupperware delivery arrived from her party a few weeks ago!! boxes galore for everyone that attended. (they will be dropped off as we next drive past your house!) This spurred bek into reorganising the pantry and making everything wonderful and neat, it also raised the need for a label-maker apparently, so after a few household chores and headed over to mum and dads to borrow their one.
Then it came to 1pm and we headed off to the Mackinnon household (our pastors' house).
They are on holiday at the moment and it was arranged that a bunch of us would secretly renovate their lack of a front garden!
A crew of about 20 turned up when they could throughout the day from around 8am. We turned up at 1:30 and worked hard right through till it was finished at about 6:30pm. A whole front garden in one saturday, and it looks awesome. I will post a picture soon...unfortunatly we only have an after shot tho, but just pretend there was nothing but dead grass before. So we are looking forward to when they get home next wednesday.
Once that was completed we returned home for dinner, tv and homework. Bek and I set to on our homework, coming up to end of semester next week. I managed to knock off a whole assignment last night, i'd started to stress slightly as i hadn't started a journal that was supposed to cover my Industry Placement so far, all 5 months of it! It turns out it was more report than journal, so i was just explaining what i did and how the business worked etc. Quite easy, and i pumped out a 4500 word report in just under 5hrs. Not bad when i was thinking what to write while writing it!
So a productive day!

If you and your mates want to 'back yard blitz' our front yard feel free! It needs grass (can pinch from the back yard) a front wall, a path to the front door and some plants.
Anytime is perfect for us and we can arrange to go away for a few days if you want it to be a surprise!
