Am blogging at the moment because I have commented on everybody else's and have nothing else to do now!
Weekend with Liv was good. We went to the Jenolen Caves on saturday because neither of us had been before. It's pretty there but we probably picked the wrong day to go because it was so hot! It's also annoying because it's so expensive. You have to pay $4.50 for parking and then to get in a cave for an hour, it costs $22. And that was the cheapest and easiest cave!
It was nice underground though. Looking at natural wonders always makes me wonder how people out there don't believe in God. All you have to do is look around and there's your proof!
I panicked a bit before we went in though coz it was a narrow cave and I wasn't sure if I was gonna get too claustrophobic, but it all turned out all right once I was in and looking at the cool structures.
After we came back we caught up with my friend Tanya, and had dinner at La Porchetta before coming back here to watch some movies. Sunday was just spent hanging around my place after a bit of shopping. All in all it was a nice relaxing weekend.
Today, I have had two lots of people come through to inspect the flat, which means I spent yesturday and today furiously trying to get the house tidy (not that the seemed to look anyway!). I was a bit spun out after the last couple left though, coz it turns out the guy was a childhood friend of mine that I haven't seeing for at least 7 years! I didn't recognise him, but he walked in and said, 'Which one are you, Olivia or Karin'? I just stared at him coz I had no idea who he was! He looked so different since the last time I saw him (guess I haven't changed much!) but once he said who he was, I was like 'Oh yeah, hey, how are ya'?! Bit strange but I love moments like that in life!
Tomorrow I'm going round to a friend's house to visit her and her new baby boy. Ahh, I love holidays!

Hey y'all!
Time for another post I suppose!
It's been storming here all afternoon, which inspired me to post about last weekend's storms, but sadly I can't seem to get the photos up for some reason, so you'll have to use your imaginations!!
We had a deluge of rain last weekend and Bathurst pratically flooded! There were rivers of running water every where! It was so cool to see. Liv and I weren't actually in Bathurst when the storms started but we saw the result coz when we cruised into town, it looked like it had snowed! It was amazing (have photos, but alas, can't get them on here?!). The hail was so fine, but thick, and it covered the paddocks on the outskirts of town. There were 'drifts' banked up against houses everywhere and 'snow' on the rooftops! There was about 2cms on the ground so we had a mini ice fight! I'd never seen hail that looked so much like snow before - it was exciting (I'm easily amused)!!
I had some old school friends up last weekend and it was good to catch up with them and see where their busy lives are taking them. Much eating of junk food and watching bad movies, what a way to spend a weekend! Mostly things ended up with us just chatting though, as is usually the way when a bunch of girls get together!
I am currently kitten-sitting a gorgeous little ginger thing for a friend while she is away. I had the job of going to collect the kitty from her home as she is a present for another friend. Needless to say, Kitty wasn't very happy yesturday and spend the afternoon hiding and wailing miserably. I hate being the first one to take them away from their mum! But she settled down eventually and is currently snuggled up beside me while I write this. I love how she has morphed into 2 modes now - sleep and play! That's it! I can't believe how long I can entertain her with a piece of ribbon! Much longer than I can be entertained anyway!
Liv is coming up again this afternoon, as it will be the last time she'll be able to do it (with all my furniture anyway!). We have a weekend planned of doing very little! Plus a little bit of junk food...!
Well, that's it for now. I will continue with my photo-uploading endeveour!! :)

Praise point!
I've been meaning to blog all week but I've managed to run out of time until now!
Tomorrow is the last day of my post-grad. It will be kind of bitter sweet in a way, because this last placement at district nursing has been really interesting and all of the girls there have been so good with helping me and giving me information, etc. But I will still be glad when tomorrow afternoon comes!!
Anyway, there was a purpose to this blog! Last weekend, my sister and mum came up to keep me company and we had organised to catch a show in orange. I dragged a couple of friends along too and we had a fantastic night. Laughed way to much and had a major belly ache from it at the end!!
Anywho, we had taken Liv's car to Orange while I left mine parked on the road here for the day (coz I let Liv have the garage coz here car is better than mine!). We didn't get back here till about 12am that night and as Liv went to go down the driveway I happened to glance over at my car and saw that someone had broken into it!! What a way to end a great night!!
While this might not particulary sound like a praise point, things could have been a lot worse. For instance, if I had've taken my car, it would have been Liv's car that got busted, and she only just got the front fixed! There was also very minimal damage done to my car too. 3 doors were unlocked and the front passanger one slightly open, and both the front windows were down, but besides the front passanger door lock being wrecked, there was no harm done to the car. Thank God too, because I had just gotten the windscreen replaced. Things had been shifted around in the car but nothing was stolen (nothing worth stealing in there anyway!).
So I consider myself very blessed that my car was not stolen or damaged too much. God was definatly looking out for me that night! :)
