Holiday! Celebrate!

As of Friday, Dave and I are officially on holiday! Not to sound whiny, but this time around I really need it. Between reports being due, the kids being over it and being sick, I'm glad the term is finished.

Friday was a really fun day at school. La Salle College has an annual day for something they call STOMP. All the kids dress up according to the theme of the day, and perform acts in a sort of variety show for the last half of the day. This year the theme was "movies". I went as Elle Driver from "Kill Bill", which was pretty fun. The kids really put a lot of effort into their costumes, it was great. A couple of the kids in my year 10 class thanked me for a "great semester" as well, which made me really happy!

Friday night Dave's parents came to Perth, they're on holiday too, and left for Melbourne on Saturday afternoon. We went to one of our favourite local restaurants, Koinonia, and then went to see a movie at the Astor, which was an RTR event. The movie was about air drumming, it was really different!

Saturday morning was exciting for me, because I went to get a haircut at Museo, a place I'd never been before. Because of a traumatic experience with a hairdresser as a young teen in which my hair ended up looking like a lampshade complete with awful curly bangs, I am always wary of having my hair cut. The girl who did my hair was called Narelle, and she was fantastic! She was friendly, listened to what I had in mind, gave me hair tips, and took my lifestyle into consideration in terms of the cut she gave me. I love the haircut! it's just below my shoulders, layered, with a sideswept fringe that's shorter than what I usua;lly get, and just what I had in mind!

When I got back, Dave and I got ready to go to Bunbury, which is where we are now. Last night we had a lovely dinner at a Thai restaurant, and then went out for drinks at the pub, where a band was playing. The band was a duet, they played covers, and they were really enjoyable to watch. Dave and I were having so much fun that we had a drink or two too many...! I think I dodged a pretty bad hangover today. Dave and I started the day off by watching "Elizabeth". It was a beautiful sunny day, rare for July. We went for a walk into town and on the beach, it was beautiful! Tonight we had Joe's pizza and watched "Gran Torino", which was surprisingly really good, and "He's Just Not That Into You", which was surprisingly bad.

Tomorrow we're off to Margaret River for a few days, then Albany. Can't wait!
