A definite improvement on our previous accommodation. it really was pretty awful.

this place is actually quite cool. we have a fan in our room, the kitchen is clean, creakfast is included, there are lots of communal areas (we've booked the tv to watch kate on wed on spics and specs - check her out and cheer loudly, we're planning to convince everyone in the hostel to come and watch her, with bribes of wine and popcorn) and i bought a 24 hour wireless card for $5 and have a table in the dining room next to a powerpoint, across the room from all the tea, milo and really crap coffee i can drink. i'm liking this place.

in sydney i bought these fabulous pink and gold stilettos, so today i went hunting fro a nice dress to match. i found a dress, a skirt and work shirt that all match - the dress was $200 reduced to $30, which i'm pretty impressed with. it's hot pink, hurrah. so now i can look truly fabulous when i go see the boat people and kate in a couple of weeks in melbourne.

i had a ball wandering around canberra by myself today, although the hours i spent this morning in an internet cafe were amazingly frustrating - 2.5 hours to do 3 posts, with only one photo. anyway, tonight will be better. if things are taking hours to download, i have a book. i'm just waiting for liz to finish using my computer so i can start. she's making a folder of her favourite photos - mine only has a few shots in it really. she has 2 cds worth. we REALLY see the world in different ways sometimes. it's good forus - keeps us challenging ourselves.
