This week has been a busy one!

On Monday night I went to water polo training as usual, and then home for a lightening shower and change before heading out to see the Waifs at the Governor Hindmarsh! It was sooo goooood to see them live, but i think I waited too long. I have listened to a brief history of… so many times, i think they did those songs in a way that cant be improved upon for me, and I was kinda disappointed with the classics. But the new jazzy stuff off their new album was fantastic, and the cover of Kylie’s “I should be so lucky” was just too cheeky!!!

The gig finished soon after 11pm, but instead of going home, the VNM suggested going to the Grace Emily afterwards, and he must have had some kind of psyclic premonition (but wait - i thought i was the psyclist in this relationship!), because soon after most of the band turned up. Monday night is Billy Bob’s BBQ Jam, and it turned into quite a jam indeed. We got home at 3am…

On Tuesday morning at 8am, the funky young wasp destroyer from the City Council came over, stood next to me (in less than best condition) in my front yard and agreed that there were wasps hanging out in my garden. He went off in search of the nest. I went back to bed for a while. A long while.

On Tuesday night, we won our first game of water polo! Two new players who didn’t quite make the state under 19 team have joined just joined us, so THIS time when we played the Women’s Masters team (who are very experienced players and not afraid of the whole grab/kick/push/dunk/strangle/elbow-to-jaw routine), we won 9:5. Quite a turnaround from our last encounter, where we lost 1:14. I’m sure the fact that I’ve figured out a) how to swim again and b) how to catch and throw a wet ball in my wet hands while treading water made a bit of a difference (i actually got my hands on the ball twice in the last game), but I think most of the credit goes to the new girls!

On Wednesday morning, I found the wasp’s nest in one of the neighboring buildings. And I enroled. Easily the most interesting subject I enroled in was a two week dig in Esperance in WA in April! This study year is gonna be fun!

This morning at 8am, the funky young wasp destroyer came over again and i took him to the nest. Wasp problem solved! No more being harassed while sitting outdoors eating!

  For a second or two there I was trying to work out how you enrolled into a wasps nest….

  Oops, true, that isnt really clear….

  Even wasps get to sleep when the sun goes down. I hope you can all get some sleep soon!
