I've been feeling quite tired lately. The reason for this may be that I've been losing weight and not eating very much food. I had an afternoon nap today and felt really refreshed after it.
I've changed the format of my blogs and have started writing my novel about The Plague again. It's my fun project. I don't really know where this will take me, and if it takes me to the end, I will try to publish this book. I have some time on my hand to write anyway.
I went to the supermarket to get bread and also got some meat for dinner. Then I went to Farmers to get the Barbie Doll House. It was on sale for $70, it was originally $119. I think it was a bargain for so much stuff, and had fun putting everything together in the living room in the afternoon. I can finally call this toy mine, and I remember giving the Doll House away after my cousin came back. It was so sad.
I made beef curry in the evening, and also cooked some Chinese cabbage for the side. It is very cold and rainy today. A hearty meal is certainly going to make us warm.
I will take the driving test tomorrow. It looks like that it is going to rain, but if I get my license, I will be able to drive any time anywhere! It's very exciting.

Driver license
I got up super early today and spent some time with my husband before he left for work. I've decided to book my full driver license test in AA and that took almost all morning. I've changed my maiden name to my married name on the license, and she took a new picture and signature of me in the end. I also joined AA roadside rescue. We are also thinking about getting the third party insurance with AA for our car, but because dad owns the car, that will not be that easy.
I met dad's friend's wife and her son today in front of Red Cross. She's been shopping around Five Cross Road and got a very nice and cheap pair of jeans from that shop. Why would you pay sixty dollars for a new pair of jeans and not get it from Red Cross just for six bucks? I think she has got it right and there's nothing wrong with op shopping. In fact, op shops in New Zealand have a lot of treasures that you can discover. Just last Saturday I got three plates from Vinnies and they all have beautiful blue patterns on them. Two of them are dishwasherble as well.
I've put on two loads of washing and hung them on the line and watered the vegetable patch. I think I will put some newspaper there to prevent weed growth, it's getting out of control now. I've solved the pest problem for now as the weather is too cold for the butterfly to lay eggs on the vegetable now. Thank God for that!
I've also started a Poupee account. This website is made by Japanese for girls/boys who likes to dress up their dolls online. You collect ribbons and buy jewels to dress your avatar up, you can talk to your friends or look at fashion photographs online. It's well designed and everything is cute there. No wonder it attracts little girls and old girls alike.
I am looking forward to the release of Robin Hood. Russel Crowe is oddly old in the movie. I guess the director is looking for an older and more mature Robin this time? Kevin Costner in the old Robin Hood was certainly young and delicious. I am not saying the Russel Crowe is not going to be good, but he does look a bit old and rugged. Maybe that's what Robin Hood should look like anyway, living rough in the forest.
Kate Blanchet is going to be Lady Marion, they are portraying her as a strong woman again. I remember her from The Aviator with Leonardo Di Caprio. I imagine Marion will be a cross between Arwyn from Lord of the Ring and Geneviere from Camelot. There will certainly be a lot of medieval actions, archery, fighting, horse riding and general countryside to see.
The second half of May will be busy for us. There's a party in Auckland to go to at the end of the month, and there's another party in Hamilton to go to at the end of next week. I will have to take the driver license test as well. I am hoping that I will get it the first time around and finally be able to use my Full license and not worry about driving after 10 p.m. It will be great to have a Full License!
My to-do list is getting ticked off very quickly this week, guess that I will have to find something else to occupy myself next week.
