Nawwww :)

Went to Cairns and then the paternal grandparents for Grandad's birthday :) Grateful today forrr:

~Helpful friendly shop assistant fellow! Its always nice browsing when he's there, he's lovely and has a chat :)

~Nice old lady I met in the change rooms of another store. She was talking to her friend when I came out to show mum the pretty marvellous vintage-y dress I was looking at and she turned to her and said something along the lines of "Oh that's just perfect, doesn't she look lovely? Like a fairy princess!"
I was so muchly flattered!! Twas very sweet :) 

~Also bought...2011 School Diary! Last one! Oh no! [any who know me know how integral the diary is to my schooling experience :P] and my formal shoes, and my non-formal shoes for school, so it can be safely assumed that I am entirely set for my final journey through ASHS.

Home from Cairns and off to the grandparent's place for the birthday celebrations and festivities. It was very nice [as you can see, Thomas the cat was less than amused and slept under the table for the duration. I wanted to photograph the lady who complimented me, but thought it might be odd].

Home again, only to find that a good friend [who is moving to Melbourne in a week or so] had dropped off several large bags of her old clothes. Hand-me-downs, hurrah! :) Sister and I had a great time riffling through. Then, ate dinner and fell asleep watching the news coverage of the Brisbane flooding. Was woken up, had a very quick phone call and fell asleep almost the second I'd hung up :) Nice night.

All my prayers and love to the victims of the floods. Feel quite useless sitting up here watching the television about it. So sad, but it is good to see the people pulling through and helping each other out. This is the sort of event where we see the Australian spirit truly - or lack thereof, in the case of those low-lives caught looting the damaged homes. Shame on them! What's wrong with the world when we would steal from those who have just lost everything?!
And on that sombre note, I shall leave you, dears. Heart full of love and light to everyone.
