**Here's my house and part of my street! It's the blue/white one. It doesn't look too bad from the outside, does it!**
On Wednesday night, I went up to New Castle for Monique's birthday. It was a great night with Debbie, Laura, Mark & Monique, catching up and talking until about 10pm. We didn't get back to Mt Kuring-Gai until about 11:30, so I stayed the night at Debbie's because I didn't want to ride the train so late at night. I just got up extra early to catch the train to work.
The sample sale was so fun to work at! There were SO many people everywhere trying to get deals on all of the clothing.. trying it all on in the hallways and stuff, hilarious. My boss gave me a very cute vest just because I said I liked it, but I forgot it there, so sad. It was my last day of working at Longbeach on Friday, so I won't be able to get it back.
I went out last night with some people from my house to a place in Kings Cross called World Bar. That's where Matt works!! He was working behind the bar and ended up giving me free drinks all night! What a great night it was! This weekend is Australia day, so there are all kinds of things going on in the city. There's a free concert in Hyde Park that I went to on Saturday afternoon. I spent the day wandering around the city, looking at all the street performers they had going on for the occasion. The weather has been perfect lately! So nice and sunny and warm.
