I've signed up for the 7 Bridges Walk on 30 October.
So...
I need everyone to think "NO RAIN in SYDNEY on 30 October 2011."
I've tried to do this twice.
The first time I got as far as Barangaroo (I left from The Rocks) when the heavens OPENED and WATER BELTED from the SKY - to call it rain would be a gross understatment.
I had no raincoat or umbrella and I got SOAKED.
I went home from Darling Harbour wet & cold. In fact I was so wet the green I was wearing coloured my undies and my socks.
NOT a good look.
Last year I went prepared with a raincoat. Made it through 6 Bridges before I ran out of time (this time I'll start in the morning rather than the afternoon) and I still got soaked as once more DRENCHING RAIN came down around St Leonards.
So everyone please Think DRY thoughts for 30 October.

Just back from the movie.

The audience was a lot of fun.
There were squeeling George & Fred fans - a little roof top scene between the pair.
There were cheering Neville fans - the bridge scene
and there was much snuffling after Harry watched Snapes' memories...

The audience cheered,screamed,clapped in much of the movie.
and everyone just loved the Ron/Hermoine kiss and Mrs W's 'b***h' line was wildly cheered and huge applause at Bellatrixs' death.

Lots of beautiful scenery and amazing sfx.

This one flowed much better than part 1 (yes went to the 9pm viewing of part1) I found part 1 to be very choppy - a problem with trying to get so much information out.

HBC did a beautiful Hermoine being Bellatrix and AR's Severus in the memories was a delight

okay - off to bed now as its 3.30am

and Yes I will go to see it again.

I don't know if I should be thrilled or terrified?




One of my friends suggested updating via Sparkly vampires for the girls and semi-automatic weapons with the chase scenes for the boys.

3d is probably a given

What will they think unimportant?

Well you could be right.

To-days Sydney Morning Herald (27/4/10) has an article (pg 13) on a short film shot/shooting in Melbourne recently/now. Can't work out if they are still working on it.
Called "The Apprentice" it stars Shane Jacobson ("Kenny"), Colin Lane & Anton Yelchin...

so if you thought that guy wandering around Melbourne looked like Chekov
you could be correct.

Have just popped the "tea cake of evil" into the oven and am listening to the Melbourne Comedy festival. Ya know, cooking to this type of comedy is really excellent as you don't really need to watch - Axis of Awesome is so geeky cool. (someone should post what they just did...dozens of songs as one. & no i can't cause i want taping & I don't know how.
Non seq...
Hmm must find an income of Awesome from Chuck & Kirk. - so i like my awesome men together.

"TCoE" is for a work birthday... & yes this is what they call it at work, must be all the real butter...

Made 8 dozen cupcakes on the 15th Nov as part of a MOvember fundraiser for work - must remember to upload cupcake photos...

Yes, they did. They said SHOWERS. Obviously they forgot to add 'and remember to bring your soap on a rope'. (grumble, grumble, swear, grumble)

I had planned on doing the 7Bridges Walk today in Sydney. I started at The Rocks, a light sprinkle of rain as I walked thru The Wharf area but when I got to Barangaroo the heavens opened & it POURED! Bloody great drops of rain! SOAKED! Soaked to the SKIN!
I got as far as Pyrmont - I was going to cross at least one bloody bridge before stopping.
I wne to the ladies at Darling Harbour where i found that not only was I soaked but my skirt was turning my socks a dirty green (not bad considering they were orange) my knickers also got the dirty green treatment (they started as pale pink) and my nice new yellow tshirt now as a green streak. ARGGGGh!
Ooooooh! And I squelched with every step. {sigh!}
And the newspaper in my calico (turning green) became unreadable along with the booklet they gave you to get stamped at each 'village'

the train ride home - cold & soggy.

HOME - a hot long shower, the feet are no longer cold.

Please let it not be wet next weekend for the "Relay for Life" at Blacktown.
