It was Australia Day today so Steve was home from work, but he took the day off yesterday as well so it didn't feel all that different really.

It was extremely hot today. We spent part of the day in the pool, which is still a bit green but not too bad. I don't like swimming in green water but today was too hot to be fussy about such things. And I spent the rest of the day in the air conditioning doing some sewing. I made this skirt. I didn't use a pattern - I traced round an old skirt that I bought at Vinnies for a couple of dollars, which is much cheaper than a pattern. I have bought a couple of patterns on ebay as well so I have a few projects lined up now. Enough to keep me busy for a while.

This skirt has a zip and everything. I am thoroughly impressed with myself. I didn't make many mistakes on this skirt. I think I will wear it, I really like the fabric.

I accepted the offer to uni but I haven't enrolled yet. I am going to the Academic Advisory first because I need to figure out how to get the units I have already done credited and I am not sure how many units I will take. I might start off slow I think.

I rang the uni creche as well, they have certain days available but they are not sure how long they will be available, and of course I don't know what days I need yet, but the days they have available won't last long so I need to grab them (and start paying for them, grr) if I want them.

I really need Callum to be close by because I am not really ready to leave him yet, and of course the little bollocks still doesn't know how to drink out of a bottle. He seems to be able to drink out of a straw a little bit. Its still hard to watch but not as hard to watch as him trying to figure out how to get the liquid out of a bottle. I have to look away, it's like watching someone with no fingers trying to play the piano. He just doesn't get it, poor little lamb. I just don't breed the smart ones it seems.
