I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

I really liked it. Hope you do too.

Last Friday I went with Aimee and her dad to buy her a new flute. I was so glad I was part of this milestone in her life. I am more grateful to this little girl than she will ever understand. All the years of hard work and practice and sacrifice are worth it to see the joy in her eyes when she plays. I don’t know how I will ever let her go.

leaving home
I told my mum she is not allowed to let me leave home untill I learn to sew. I think this is a great idea. These past few months have been not the best. I am looking forward to a summer of baking bread and going to Port Macquarie and learning to sew with my mum.

Lily said the hunt was hard but I was trying to make them earn it.
I think I will remember this easter although they’re usually uneventful.

In 1896, pasta was introduced to Australia when Luigi Lazzarotto and his family arrived on the shores of La Perouse escaping the Great Sicilian Cannoli Wars. Although at first Luigi’s diet was laughed at by the settlers and Aborigines alike, pasta gained wider appeal when the Govenor of the time allowed the dish to be served at one of his many notorious dinner parties. It is...

Yesterday I turned 21.
Douglas bought me some earrings and a book I really wanted.
My family bought me a whole lot of Disney princess themed things.
My mum is also going to buy me some pottery made by Simon Tognetti, who is an amazing local artist.
Douglas came over my house and we watched the Cleo miniseries with my parents and Despicable Me with Minna.
I think I feel older than before. I...
