Walks, natural disasters and dozy cats

Boy, did I have the best walk tonight. Feeling restless around 6pm, I decided to take Misty, my mother-in-laws dog who we are looking after while she's in Germany for a few months, for a walk. It's amazing how light I feel again.  I started with a slow jog and once Misty and I found our rhythm we jogged for about a mile or so before I started to wilt. Didn't slow down too much though - kept up a flat out pace for about 40 minutes. It was wonderful. I love walking at dusk. The sky is blue/black and the palm trees littering our streets are silhouetted against the sky. Headlights are bright as cars zip past and it was nice to catch one of our last dwindling summer nights. Even the dog was pooped when we finally made it home lol. 


I don't know if anyone has seen it on the news, but here in Perth we had what was classified as the worst storm to hit for 30 years. It's actually been classified a natural disaster. Funnily enough, where we are on the coast (about 40 minutes out of the Perth CBD) it wasn't that bad. It was bad enough, but not what I would have called the worst storm ever. Apparently though, the eye of the storm pretty much hit the city and they had major, major damage. Thousands of cars are written off, there were landslides and flooding bringing transport to a halt, windows smashed and so much more and when you think about it, we were all pretty lucky. While we had some pretty close calls I don't think there were any deaths. At least if there were I don't remember hearing about it. 

This is a picture of a University in Perth with hail storming down. 

The lightening was fierce 

Winds were up to 120km per hour

Hows my cats form? Just thought I would throw these in because - well, he's cute. Garfield would have to be the most laid back cat ever. Here he is sleeping (not dead - though he looks it lol) in the middle of our expansive floor. And he does this all the time. We here in the house are constantly tripping over him, especially since he seems to blend with our honey coloured floorboards. And check out the munted ear. He had a fight with another tom cat a few months ago, scored a rip in his ear which I treated but now the tip of his ear is permanently bent. 

I want ask a question too, to you girls who say they are need a fill. Amy W, Jenny, Gen and anyone else who is in the same situation. I still think I need a fill. I am hungry - no too ways about it. 6am this morning? My stomach was grumbling and hurting with hunger. I seem to be okay with food - a small half a cup (or sometimes more especially with salad) seems to fill me, but I get hungry again after a few hours. That said, I still have trouble eating some days. Yesterday, I slammed down lots of stuff I normally couldn't eat - today, I seemed to be tight again. Was it like this for you when you said you thought you needed a fill because you'd slipped back into the yellow zone from the green? I'm curious. Share please lol. 

Have had a couple of busy social days/nights, getting them in before I start my new job (that is, IF I am still in line to get it. Still no word... though I did hear from them two days when they were chasing down my referrals via the phone.. so I know they are still in the processing stage.) Last night I went out with a friend and saw a movie. We caught The Rebound with Catherine Zeta Jones .. loved it!! Wasn't high on my list of movies to see, but I'm glad I did. So different from the usual rom-com's that are a dime a dozen. Today was lunch out and I caught another movie lol. This time, The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. Fantastic movie! Love, love, loved it! She deserved that Oscar (but not the fall out from her scumbag husband! Pfft.) Tomorrow night is drinks with friends, Saturday is another night out, this time in Fremantle as we farewell a different couple at a big shin-dig before they head off to the other side of the country to live. They will be missed. 

That's it from me

Hope you all had a wonderful Thursday,

Seeya soon
