August 10

Today was another day for doing various tasks. I strapped on my backpack and walked up to work where Mum had sent my new mp3 player all loaded up with my songs courtesy of Cara and Mike. Also scored two new tops Mum had bought on sale at Myer. I felt very spoilt! Chatted to the girls at work for awhile about the shows I had been to, then walked into Morningside to grab a sandwich from Marks & Spencer for lunch. I sat outside people watching while munching away. I had a stack of old timesheets to give to my recruitment company so I wander back into town to catch up with everybody there. I see what Nic is up to, she's going to see a few bands at Henry's Bar later that night and invites me along. Done deal. I wander into Princes Street to use the toilet in House of Fraser (department store) where I lose a charm Cara had given me before I left on my trip. The padlock from my bracelet popped open and it fell off. I looked like a crazy woman in the toilets for 10 minutes searching for this charm but I couldn't find it. A lady who came in and saw me looking for something offered to help me and thinks I'm American - Quickly correct that situation and resign myself to the fact that I've lost my heart (charm). Sorry Cara, at least I've still got a couple more left, eh? Wander up George Street and am just in time to see a show as part of the Free Fringe, non ticketed events as part of the Fringe. The show was called Kerplunsky and the Pope and it was like watching your mates mucking around in drama class. Good fun but I'm glad I didn't pay for it!
