hey!
so it is currently 'pre-irene'.. everyone is barcing for the hurricane tomorrow.
which i will let you all know is just like a cyclone, it will be category one, wind speeds of up to 91 kilometres per hour, a whole lot of rain and that is pretty much it.
we have plenty of food and drinking water, our toilets/showers and everything will still work even if the power goes out, we have torches and candles, and i have two and a half books to keep me occupied.
we won't even need to go in the basement unless things are actively flying around outside - which they won't be. so you can all take a deep breath now and calm yourselves (yes you grandma) because everything will be okay :)
so this morning i woke up at a leisurely hour of 10:30.. read some of my book and facebooked for a while.
tried to wort out tonight because we were supposed to be having a sleepover at the mansion but because of the stupid hurricane no one can use their cars and the news said everyone has to be where they need to be until monday by sundown tonight and there is a ban on driving tomorrow...
sooooo we can't have the sleepover.
then lauren picked me up, we got julia and we on our way to pick up robyn (who lives at the mansion) to go to our au pair monthly meeting.
so its pissing down rain, there are massively huge puddles on the road, so we were driving as slow as a wet week, then we got lost because a street sign had been spun around so that the streets were facing their opposite actually street, therefore causing us to turn when we didnt have to... i thought it was hilarious when we worked it out.
finally found her house, then had to go on a detour from the highway because there was a huge accident, and by the time we got to lasertag we were almost an hour late.
but that was okay. and then we played.
it was so much fun!
it this big huge dark room with flashing lights and loud music, and we were three different teams.
i could have played all day long.
in the first game i got 6th from 12 and in the second i got 4th from 12. impressive right?
and then we left and picked up chinese for dinner, i got dropped home, ate myself into a food coma, had a shower and now i am relaxing all night. until irene starts up around three in the morning... the bad part will come around lunch.
well goodnight australia. xxxxxx
p.s really. stop worrying. everything will be okay.
