ly celebration here but only found a buffet of chili dogs and a punk show celebrating everything that particular group of people hated about the USA so decided to make my own fun. Mick and Bec came up and we went to an art opening at Per Square Meter in Collingwood. Matt and I have driven by many times and always wanted to go in. I did a little investigating into the artist who was showing and REALLY liked her work. This was definitely way better than the last show we went to. Aida Sabic's work was wonderful and I want to purchase one of her pieces once I am allowed to work. We all went out to dinner and later someone (probably me) had the fantastic idea to start drinking tequila. Not a good idea....very, very bad idea! The next day was spent in bed eating a healthy combination of McDonalds and Pizza Hut, watching movies and feeling like a truck was repeatedly running me over. Bad Idea!!!The next m
orning Matt and I decided to go for a little hike to make up for our Saturday of sloth and gluttony. We took a path around the Yarra River which was a little higher than I would have liked but I forged on. There were Rosellas flying around and a kookaburra in the trees.

there were shamrocks climbing all the way up the hills we were walking through.

ur little hike it was time for my first volunteer day at Droomkeen in Riddell's Creek. This was the best volunteer job I have ever had starting with a surprise glass of champagne. I spent the afternoon with two absolutely lovely ladies Lee Fox and Glenda Millard, who are both authors of picture books and novels. I got to read both of their pictures books and they are wonderful!!! If anyone is looking for some books to get their little ones these ladies do fantastic work. We had a lovely afternoon looking at books and talking to a few visitors. It's
always a fantastic day when peacocks are around and they definitely were. I love Dromkeen! For those of you who live in Melbourne definitely check it out!! http://www.scholastic.com.au/common/dromkeen/
