Easter Weekend

What a weekend it was! Uni has been so full on this year I was determined to have some time off and do something fun (since I couldn't go to Adelaide....grrr) Things kicked off spectacularly well with a fab evening with Evan Dando (sorry to the rest of the Lemondheads, but he's who I'm there to see) Despite being at a venue which is fast becoming my least favourite in Melbourne (The Corner) I managed to nab a seat on the stage and sat there all night like the ridiculous groupie I am and be happy as a clam. I last saw Evan solo and acoustic in Vancouver which was divine and probably my preferred way of seeing him, but the night was rocking and brought back all those teenage years.


The other huge thing that dominated the 4 days was that we were babysitting g
orgeous kittens! awww so adorable
At one stage we had three kittens in the house which was a delight,
but for most of the time it was only two. The very beautiful Trinity and Tobago. The other kitten Charlie was with us only briefly -but we loved him just the same.


Of course then came our big house night out which was tonnes of fun - just so great to be a little bit silly for a change and not worry about study/work etc.



Easter Sunday brought too much chocolate and a lovely house lunch full of yummy roast lamb, apple crumble and lots of other goodies. My fellow bunny flatmates and I had much fun pr
eparing (especially Elly) and we all indulged a bit too much - but it did feel awfully good.



Last but not least I got to see one of my favourite men in the flesh - Dylan Moran. He's out here in Melbourne as part of the comedy festival and being that I think he is the most divinely funny and perfect male (no it's not an oxymoron) I couldn't miss it. As I was sitting in the 3rd row he didn't miss the fact I was taking his picture and then launched into a rant about people and technology - at which point I told him it was just because he was beautiful then he swore at me and left me alone. What a guy! ;) Seriously though it was very funny. If anyone doesn't know him I urge you to go and rent Black Books.....it's awesome.

The next morning I was up super early taking the lovely Heather to her plane (which she then promptly missed) and then back home to the reality of my situation -i.e that I had just frittered away 4 whole days of potential study/design time and I had a ridiculous amount ahead of me to do..............at least for once it really was worth it!
