Check out this link to see the website for Port Adelaide. This is a suburb of Adelaide where I viewed a nice house this evening. It would be sharing with a girl who is a Psychologist and her younger brother who is a Paramedic. Port Adelaide is a bit like Fittie in Aberdeen. But sunnier. A lot of the buildings there are heritage listed. It has lots of character. House was nice.It has 6 bedrooms. But they want to split it 3 ways. So that means as well as having 2 living areas and a large kitchen, we would all have 2 rooms each. One bedroom and another room to do with as we please. Roll top bath, open fire places, exposed floor boards. Courtyard out the back, and a small balcony on the front. Sounds good, huh? 5 mins from the beach, 20 to the city and about 35 to work. £5 a week more than I am paying currently. So not going to break the bank. Having a couple of days to think about it. But reckon I will probably go for it.

I've been to a few comedy shows this week. Ross Noble on Wednesday night was the highlight. He was hilarious! I've not laughed so much in ages. He's a Geordie. And someone I was with that night, asked if I still found him funny even though I would be used to hearing that kind of accent! She just thought he was hilarious because of the way he talked! :)

Talking of Geordies, one of the girls at work was telling me that her sister has just called her baby Geordie! I didn't explain what it meant in the UK. But it did remind me that I used to think that Milo was a good name for a boy. Until I got to Oz and found that it is the name for a Malted drink here. In fact you all got some for Christmas!

Veering back to Fringe events I've seen this week, I also went to see a comedy musical which was quite good. Although I was tired from being out the night before, so I may have been hard to please that night. And last night I went out to see a female only troupe of comedians, called Titters. They were an International group with acts from the UK, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Some of which were really good. We ate at a really good noodle bar in the City beforehand, so it was a really nice night.

That's the Adelaide festival drawing to a close soon. So my recent splurge of night's out will be drawing to a close. Which I'm sure my bank account will appreciate! :)

Which got me thinking about my reading matter. I finished Slumdog Millionaire. Which I really enjoyed. Mum had thought the movie was good but harrowing. Although I didn't feel that about the book. From what Dad said they maybe dramatised bits of the book for the movie and played up some of the upsetting scenes. I'll need to watch the movie to compare.

I've started reading the book 'Eat, Pray, Love'. Which for some of you may mean nothing. But Lucy has read it. So thought I'd mention it. It's about a woman who hits 30 and looks at her life and relationship and thinks 'this isn't me' and then up sticks to try and find herself. Sounds highly improbable, don't you think? Who would do something like that? :)

Hope you re all having a good week. Happy Mother's Day to mum. xxx
