Today Part 3 (the photos)

State of the Art Australian Technology... a sort of "ladies and gentlemen, due to the time change, please set your watches back by 20 years..." moment

We went to view an apartment briefly (675 dollars a week!) and I got a couple of photos.  This is the Brisbane river... from the ground

And this is the Brisbane river... from the 64th floor.  Yep!  SIXTY FOURTH!  Our ears popped in the elevator.  All other skyscrapers sort of looked small and insignificant.  To get the apartment on the 64th floor it was 780 dollars a WEEK.  Right.  Nice view - but not that nice.

It was M's birthday yesterday, so J and I organised a little birthday cake.  Unfortunately, we ran on ahead, rushed as fast as we could to get the candles lit before he walked in - and then he took a good 5 minutes by which time all the letters had lost their shape and some of the candles had gone out - but he was still really excited, and blew hundreds and thousands all over my table - and lots of candle wax - which is still there.  I did clear up the hundreds and thousands but don't really have a candle-wax-remover other than my fingernails - and I need those for Other Things.

This has got to be the awesomest beer glass ever.  You had to pay either a 15 dollar deposit or leave your credit card behind the bar to be able to get this glass - and if you wanted the glass itself it would cost you 50 dollars.  I can really see that on my mantlepiece - awesome dot com!!!

Anyway... that's all the photos for today, folks!  Sorry if you were expecting more!

TTFN!!!
