Oh man

I'm suuuper excited to be going home and thought I was arriving on Wednesday...

I had just forwarded my itinerary and excitement to mother when I got an email from Lily saying I should check my itinerary because she leaves Germany at the same time as me but gets home on Thursday. My mental response was 'you fool Lily, I've been waiting five months for this, as if I'd get it wrong, my itinerary clearly says, departing Singapore February 16'

I was later talking to Al who asked how many hours it was until my flight when I replied 43 we slowly started realising that I didn't arrive on Wednesday but Thursday.

In a mad panic attack I ran into the kitchen waving my itinerary yelling, asking Luani and Melanie if it said I arrived on the Thursday, it did. So I called Dad, told him and then sunk into a pit of self pity.

So this was my special Valentines day surprise for Alex, I hope he liked it as much as last years surprise... Gets better every year Al!

Story of the day

Alex:

I was in the pool yesterday and there was this lizard on the rocks outside which was kind of cool, buuut he jumped in the pool.. and i have a hard time sharing the pool with the creepy crawly so you can imagine i was none to please with a lizard swimming around

anyway so I ran inside and tried to find some goggles and when i came back i swam down near him to say hi, buuut it got angry and started swimming toward me! probably the most scariest moment in my life

ps - the lizard was the size of my small finger BUT he was still scary nonetheless

Jess:

I'm going to push you off a cliff

Love you kid

Feb 6

I got a tattoo for the occasion, I was smart enough not to put an age on it so that it's valid every year because I'm smart and stuff

you will find it on my left arm so I can show off my muscle AND tattoo at the same time

.

Yes this photo was taken today...

because I got the tattoo toady

AND yes, it is a very nice photo of me, thank you

TEN DAYS!

Lew

As much as I deny it, I secretly love this rat

look at him, how could I not

here we go

it's about time to update this beast of a blog so I've decided to make the most of the sunniest day I've seen since arriving in Norway and get this over and done with ha

I've got a jar of tahini, Taylor Swift on repeat and a lot of odd notes saved on my phone that I somehow have to make sense of and turn into blog posts.

ps the girl next door is singing really loudly. The rooms are soundproof but only to a certain extent, it's actually hilarious and I wish Luani was home so I could share it with her!

hahaha

oh and also, because I'm shifty and awesome and whatnot I've changed the dates of the posts so that they're in order
