day THREE HUNDRED and ONE | Year EIGHT | 2017
In lieu of a birthday party this year (due to her hob-nobbing around Italy at the time) Xan decided to host a Halloween Party instead. Despite the intermittent rain, the mild night & fire pit & Just Dance on the Wii & and copious amounts of sugar made for a fantastic night!

day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY SEVEN | Year EIGHT | 2017
Big day today, with my boss officially announcing his intent to resign from office, due to ill health, in early December (a big loss for Canberra politics)… lots of emotional moments has left me feeling a bit flat so I’m off to bed… tomorrow I’ll start working on my new job plan – I have six weeks left where I am, but I’ve narrowed down my options to – a new job; a big lotto win; or trade my ranga in for a richer one (is Ed Sheeran taken?) 
“I’ll think of it tomorrow. I can stand it then. After all, tomorrow is another day”
day TWO HUNDRED and NINETY SIX | Year EIGHT | 2017

We’ve been dealing with some compulsive hair pulling (resulting in bald patches) for the last few years… but lately, it seems to have escalated 
So, while we are working on some new strategies to break the behaviour, we decided that a new, funky hairstyle was in order! Harder to pull out, and totally hipster for a 25 year old babe

They’ve talked about ‘sister’ tattoos for years… then a few months ago they finally came up with a design they all loved… and then I jumped in on the action too! If you can translate the code, you will know who’s tatt belongs to who

That fact that we need to participate in a postal vote, to make this basic right available to all, is galling… but here we are :/

Today it is Xanthia’s birthday… and while I am a little melancholy about not spending it with her… I just can’t compete with the magnificence that is Italy <3
Take special note of the birthday cake her trip mates gave her on the plane… while the air hostesses sang her Happy Birthday! She spent most of her Australian birthday on the plane, but landed in Milan in the early morning of the day, so she didn’t miss out!
