Bunny
I really want to reblog today’s bunny photo. It’s SO CUTE.
Sydney-bound Qantas jet ‘flying blind’
Awesome. I’m on this very flight tomorrow. Qantas, what is going on with you?!
Now
In South Africa, the word ‘now’ has many meanings. I received a lesson from Miss B.
‘Now’ is now
‘Just now’ is soon, but not right now
‘Now now’ is perhaps one day. Varying degrees of likelihood that what you’re asking for will ever get done.
So now you’ve been told.

Abercrombie
I asked my friend Wendy if she wanted anything specific from New York. She asked for a t-shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch. I’m hoping to squeeze in a trip there tomorrow but I normally avoid that store like the plague:
The music is louder than the average nightclub

Berry: Are you prepared for the long flight to Sydney?
Me: Yes, I have Ambien. And Qantas will supply the red wine.
Brows
I have the longest list of things to do before I fly to Sydney but all I want to do is get my eyebrows waxed. I used to go religiously to a lady at J Sisters who would wax, tweeze, thread (yowsers, that hurts), and cut (yes, she even got baby scissors out and trimmed) my unruly Einstein-like eyebrows into perfection. Anyway, she went to Brazil at the beginning of the Summer and she is still not...
It’s been confirmed. I’m going to the Spring Carnival Races on Saturday. Shit - I need to find a Fascinator online tonight and have it express shipped. I can only find one website that sells them and the only one I like is clearly for children - aargh!
WatchRosie was brilliant. I usually get dogs that are around 10 months old. Rosie is 19 months old and the difference in her training was very noticeable.
I brought her into Starbucks this morning and everyone was commenting on how well trained she was. I was beaming (even though I had nothing to do with it!). I was totally pretending to be a professional dog trainer.
Outback Steakhouse
Tonight six of us went to the Outback Steakhouse. It took some time to decide where to go and our decision factored in the following:
Which restaurant will be cool with having a service dog (I must have the dog with me at all times)
Not too much alcohol (Marc has to run 10 miles tomorrow)
