brisie update

at the tail end of a couple of days off from work this week - theres nothing like working 40 hours to make you appreciate your free time more! so in my days off i got my library card (yay!), my tax file number, made some new friends, and went lawn bowling. lawn bowling is an australian sport/game/pastime thats sort of played like a combination of horseshoes, croquet, golf, and bowling. its done on these manicured courses that have old retired men sit around all day drinking beer and playing. but the game is becoming more popular with younger people too and when we went it was all 20 somethings. basically the idea of the game is that theres 1 small white ball, and you throw it down to the other end of the course, and then each team has balls that you roll trying to get your balls closest to the small white one. and youre barefoot the whole time (not quite sure why). we went as a girl from work's going-away, she is the girl i am replacing at work (primarily the opener).

tonight is south bank's Christmas Magnifique - the big christmas celebration a week early (again, cant seem to figure out why... maybe just to milk as much money from the holiday as possible?) with fireworks being shot over the lagoon tonight! everyone at work is on shift since so many people will be eating dinner in south bank before the fireworks. upside is that we have a fixed menu and hopefully everyone will be in a 'giving spirit' (aka tips!)
should be a fun atmosphere either way.

next week on my day off im looking to take a day trip to the gold coast!
