Last night (seems like AGES away) I went all the way to Killara to have all you can eat gourmet pizza with funky people and spend a last bit of time with them before I leave. *Woohoo!*(The woohoo is for the spending time with them and for the leaving, not for the last bit of time :P.)
It was heaps of fun and the drive home in the pouring rain was... interesting...

Anyway, today I bought a daypack and a ($60!!) smallish sleeping bag to take with me, and you can read all about it in the ADVENTURES OF WONG AND TONG (WARNING: record of adventures may not exist).

I also ate raspberry gelato and drank tea and saw the ballet with my aunt. The ballet was good! I didn't know ballet could be humorous... (Is an uncultured swine.)

Anyhow, my room is in such a state, and my mummy gave me a 'you must clean it up before you go' lecture about 1/2hr ago *eep!*

Up, up, up and away!!

oh good, that means I don't need to bring my sleeping bag on Friday. Truthfully, I would've been very reluctant on handing it over. ;)

Ok so you want LP Britain, do you want any phrasebooks? I've got French and Italian, or do you want to wing it?

You must see POTO in London... *sobs*
