Sally's baby shower

Sally (my good mate from undergrad days) is having a bub next month and last Saturday I went to an afternoon tea in her honour. Unfortunately I don't have any photos to post (do you have any Sally)?

It was great to catch up with the Mum-to-be and see her glorious bump (and no Sally, you are definitely not fat)!! I really enjoyed catching up with lots of others, including Fliss and her new baby Isaac.

And finally, the afternoon tea was really yummy! Thanks to Sally and her Mum for organising everything. :-)

at work

We'll here I am waiting for a gel to dry: certainly is exciting stuff. I'm pretty tired because I got up at 5.30am to get to uni for an 8 O'clock lecture on the merits of the kidney. Damn glomerulus(for nerds out there). We have been busy but I have been a bit boring. El went to a friend's baby shower on saturday but I will let her fill you in on that. We hired a ute on sunday to take some rubbish to our local tip. Coming from the country where the local rubbish dump is a big hole in the ground, chandler refuse transfer station is like the hilton of garbage dumps. We made a couple of trips to get rid of some dead couches and a heap of crappy palm fronds that rip your hands to shreds when you try to pick them up. There was a bit of a bingle right outside the tip entrance on the second trip. Two cars had collided and a trailer had fallen off one of them. Noone seemed to badly hurt so they were just playing the blame game.
Uni is going OK, I am looking at all the gross pictures of teeth and various things that people do to them. Not for the faint hearted. All the young uns(most of the class) goes oohh and ahhh everytime a new slide comes up. I wonder how many are doing dentistry because they want to and how many are doing it because they got the OP or their parents pushed them into it.
Oh well, I have to go and check my gel dryer. This gel is the final accumulation of 3 years work so I hope it works. At least I have a good view of the city to make it seem a little less dreary here.
Bye for now
