Kiwi Music

Great time this weekend had by all...

Saturday: Went to the Perth Zoo in the morning with Catherine. Pretty much have seen all the animals before but I got to see a Tasmanian Devil and that was awesome. It's an ugly animal that literally just runs in circles for long periods of time. Went shopping at Harbour Town. Its like the outlet mall. Got some really great deals and it was nice being in the city. Came home to get ready to go out to eat with Catie and her cooperating teacher and friends. We went to Mount Lawley for dinner and then to a pub to meet some more of their friends. It was nice to get out because we don't really do that all that much. I really wanted to go to the Casino on Saturday night but it was going to be like a $60 cab ride or something like that and it just didn't really fit in our schedule. Anyway, Mount Lawley was a nice part of town and one of the guys with us was a Kiwi (person from New Zealand) so that was kinda cool. We listened to some kiwi music. There was a song called "Slice of Heaven" that was pretty good. Check it out by clicking on the link I have provided! Slice of Heaven

Sunday: Brittni picked me up for church and she was on roster for tea so I helped her setup and then after church I helped her served the cuppas! It was fun, I really like the people at that church and will miss them. They are having a going away party for me next Wednesday night and I am really looking forward to that. I am going to attempt to make Grandma's famous pumpkin pie because they don't have pumpkin as a sweet over here, only savoury dishes. I hope I can make it taste good cause they don't have the canned pumpkin. I'm going to have to boil it and then mash it before I can make the pie. They do have pie crust which is a relieve cause I thought I was going to have to make that from scratch as well! Not that I couldn't do it, I just didn't realize it would be so much work! Ill let you know how it turns out. Anyway, after church I came home, had some left over lasagna from last night's dinner and then met Catherine up at Hillary's to do some more shopping. I got some more stamps so be on the lookout for more postcards! The buses are few and far between on Sundays so we walked to the train station to catch the bus from there instead of waiting on the one from the neighborhood stop. It wasn't really that long of a walk but we def got our exercise in for the day! The sidewalks here are called foot paths. Oh and an electrical outlet is called a power point. And an agenda or appointment book is called a diary. And they say "Cheers" for everything! I love it! Then Kerri Anne picked me up for tea (dinner) at Connie's. Her house was beautiful and right on the lake with tons of black swans swimming around. I mean it was a beautiful view. And we had a delicious dinner. We had this crab and shrimp salad, regular salad with cucumbers and avocado, steak with shrimp on top that was sort of a surf n turf type of thing, sausages and chicken on the barbie, potato bake, bread and lemon merange (sp?)  for dessert! It was absolutely lovely!

Now I am home and probably about to go to sleep. Week 11 starts tomorrow and then I will be home after 3 days of week 12. Can you believe it?!
