Weekend combobulations!

This weekend I am off to Hiroshima again. This time for my friend's birthday celebrations. I am quite excited about the prospect of actually having some fun this weekend! The last couple of days though my throat has been heaps sore and I feel a tad weary - I fear that illness is brewing. And of course it would wait for the weekend to unleash itself upon me in order to be the ruination of as much fun as possible. I'll be hoping for a complete loss of voice symptom so I can skip out of school next week :) Not that that ever happens. I once had laryngitis (sp?) and didn't even lose my voice then - I am unable to be silenced, even by serious throat infection it seems!

I'm gonna head down on the train early tomorrow morning and spend some time in the library studying, do some shopping and then meet up with everyone for drinks. I like doing my shopping in Hiroshima because I know where all the shops are and don't have to wander aimlessly looking for things all the time. I need new socks because all of mine have holes in the toes owing to my feet being way too long for them. My socks generally have a 6 month life. Even in Australia it is hard to find women's socks long enough for me, the standard size is 2-8 and I need the 8-11 size... and they always make mens socks in heaps dull colours. I like the toe socks, you know like gloves for your feet? They keep your feet heaps warmer in winter here so I'm gonna stock up again. It's even better if they go right up to your knee cos it keeps your whole leg warm!

This weekend I was supposed to have finished writing my speech for December... it is SO far from being even started that it's not funny. Perhaps I will think about that on the train on the way down and back (if not sleeping). Have a good weekend everyone!!

that's so strange - i was just about to send you some socks, and toe socks was on my list of socks to get for you. They’re my fav (you could almost say I have too many, but I don’t’ think you can every have too many toe socks!) - They’re the best at keeping feet warm.
i like sending aussie socks to my friends OS, so they can pretend to walk in Australian - a little strange, but that's me :-)

ok, socks it is - now all i have to do is find the time to buy them - stupid shopping opening hours, never open when i need them. Oh and find a store that sells socks for big foot!! ;-P
