Didn't do much today, just more planning for the festivities to come, Aussies sure do love their parties, as Dennis puts it "We'll take any excuse to have a barbie and a piss-up" (translation-and excuse to eat way too much and get drunk) Tomarrow is just a bunch of us hanging out and drinkin, then Saturday, we are spending the day at Sydney's Wonderland before it shuts down for good, followed by a pre bachelor and bachelorette party bbq, then from there, we will be driven to our respective parties/pub crawls for the evening where much drinking will commence. The following day is Sunday, Dennis' Birthday, where after we get over our hangovers, I will hopefully spend the day at the beach with Dennis, and later, it's off to a pub to meet with friends, and drink. Then on Monday, we are meeting with Dennis' family for his birthday lunch, Monday is a public holiday out here, as is Sunday, which is probabally going to be another excuse for yet more drinking. So I promise to add as much detail , at least of what I can remember in my next journal after these festivities. Other than not having much to do lately while Dennis is at work, things have been great for me. I'm bored but happy, but just for the moment, as our friend Odie's wedding gets closer, things will get to that busy, hectic and stressful point that I miss so much.
