Pokes the Internet...

anonymoose_au11:20pm: Well, the rain has stopped, but I swear it's had a terrible effect on the internet, it keeps dropping out, slowing down acting completely unreliable. I wonder though, if it's just me, usually when the internet is acting up so much the landlord will SMS me asking if I'm having problems too, but no sign of that.
Right now I'm using my mobile's data just to update this entry, so I'll have to keep this quick! First off, no sign of the Misfit, which is quite sad :O( However, when I went to Mona Vale after work today I found not only a pattern for a shirt at the Salvos for a buck that was cut out to my size, but that there was another sort of smart watch at the Aldi with a smaller dial face, so I decided what the Hell and made a purchase.
It's a pretty awesome watch although it is an analogue and missing the second (third) hand, which is a bit annoying if I want to wear it to the gym when I'm doing weights because it won't help me keep track of how much time has passed between sets. But, it lights up when I get email messages and stuff and I can even use it to make my phone ring if I can't find it! Sweeet!
Also, Mum and Dad were nice enough to give $50 towards the purchase of it as my birthday present - so that means it only cost me 5 bucks in the end, nice.
And I also finally debut my poka-dot dress since I finally hemmed it and everything! :OD It fits! Although it's not quite as well sewn as I thought, because I didn't iron it when Mum saw it she decided that it needed it and she found quite a few parts where I hadn't joined it up properly and so holes were threatening to appear. She endeavoured to fix most of them, and also managed to get the zipper to sit right. Apparently, Mum could sew back in the day and even made a dress herself long ago. :OP
Eventually, it was ironed and Mum, Dad and I headed out to the Long Reef Golf Club to enjoy $10 fish and chips in the nice weather. A good time was had by all!
So yeah, it's still not quite right so...I guess I won't wear it tomorrow to the party, but I guess a dress doesn't really lend itself to mini-golf anyway.
And on that note I better go! I have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow to get to work on time so I'm all ready late in getting to bed!
Wish me luck tomorrow! Goodnight all!
