Hello Everyone,
So todays post will be relatively quick as I am super tired and I am going to watch Flash Forward with Annabel soon.
Today I had a good morning - slept in til 9am! Go me! Then chatted to Jessica and THEN Chaos erupted.
Harry has been very sick. So sick that he hasn't eaten in days and is so weak he can barely sit up. Its so sad. He just lies against you, not saying anything. :( Occasionally he asks for water and we practically dive at him we're so excited he spoke. So poor little Harry is not well. I really hope he gets better soon!
Lucy is sick too - but not as bad as Harry, she just has a cough. Both children have gotten so big and its only been 5 days apart!!! Its so crazy how quick they grow. Lucy's into her fourth lot of clothes since I got here. AMAZING!
I feel Annabel has this bug that Harry has but isn't aware of it yet - because she looks super pale. I really hope she's not sick cause it generally means I have to look after all three of them and I really don't want to. I know thats selfish but I already have to work 8 days straight and I don't want anymore put on me in that time because its full on already. Oh well - we shall see.
What else can I talk about? Totally excited for Date Night. There is heaps of press about it at the moment because Steve and Tina are on their little press tour - so its really fun watching the interviews with them.
I have friday, saturday, sunday off next week and I'm not sure what I want to do with them. I might go to Cambridge to see the Great Hall. Would be pretty cool to see it. Or Oxford. I dunno. I'm trying to minimise costs as much as I can so I'm not completely broke when my three weeks comes around - but at the same time I don't want to miss out on stuff. It blows. Perhaps I will see if anything is local and cool and go there. I would LOVE to go back to Winchester so I can take pictures. I really loved it there - so much fun! We'll see how it goes. Hopefully there is something else cool close by that I can see. Hooray for being broke!
Anyway I shall sign off now so I can watch Flash Forward and potentially eat something.
Until Tomorrow xx

6th of April: Beheadings and Rollerblades.
Hello Everyone,
Despite my utter exhaustion from a very busy day - I am continuing to fulfill my BEDA obligations - unlike a certain someone going by the name of JESSICA MARY-ANNE ANNE MURRAY!!!! Haha, Who did a mighty fine job until day six. Five days Jessica!!! And then you had enough hahaha. Good effort though - I hope this is just a temporary slip up and not a complete project abandonment! Anyway - some travel stuff today!!!
Today I went to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and had SUCH a great time. I Love the Tower of London so much!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for so I was very excited. I got an Audio guide which is, upon reflection, perfect for me because I get to do stuff as I want and therefore I don't have to miss anything because a group isn't interested or whatever. Its so fun! I saw the Crown Jewels and was very happy with the time I got in line - as it wasn't as long as when I got out! The line was just at the museum when I jumped in because I thought I should before it got too long - and by the end of it it was so far down the hill that it was almost at the arch way entrance. Crazy.
My favourite part of the Tower was all the Lady Jane Grey history. I've had a fascination with her for ages and I'm really glad there was quite a bit on her. They had additional things to listen to on your Audio Guide and I'm glad I listened to them cause there was a really long one on her and I was very happy! It was funny how crowded anything to do with Anne Boleyn was though, all the American tourists were crowding around and talking about the "The Other Boleyn Girl".
Hehe - The first thing they show you is Traitors Gate - and it was so funny because a little ducky had wandered in from the Thames and it was so cute. He was like "Oh... Hi. Fancy seeing you all here." It was adorable watching him squeeze through the gate hehe. AWWW so sweet. I love that duck.
When I saw Tower Bridge all I could hear in my head was "Dum, dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum dum". Now i know that doesn't work via Blog, but in my head its amusing. It was like all I could think was that song - and every time I turned back to look at it, the song would start again. Hehehe.
Overall it was a lot of fun and completely lived up to my expectations. Its definitely my favourite thing in England so far.
After all that I went to see Big Ben AGAIN, because I need to take photos of it because my camera card ate them. On the way there I saw a lady wearing Rollerblades! I haven't seen anyone rollerblade in public since the 90's. It was great! After Rollerblades seriously lost out to skateboards they just haven't been pulled back out of the closet. Good on her for getting them out again! No knee pads or elbow pads though - very disappointing.
I wrote down some other stuff I wanted to write in here on my phone. Its so funny - I keep writing down little moments that happen so I won't forget to write it here. Hold on while I grab my phone, Blog readers.
Oh oh! Lucky I wrote it down I completely forgot! I got mistaken for someone who actually knew what they were doing today! Someone asked me about the Tube Lines and which ones were down and how to get places! And you know what, kids? I could actually tell them! Perhaps I sent them off into the wilderness - I'll never know. However, for the purposes of this Blog we will conclude that it was successful! Hooray!!!
I think I might sign off now due to exhaustion.
Until tomorrow xx

5th of April: SNL Rant and Psychic Mothers
Hello Everyone,
Well today has been another amazing English Adventure. Wait, I lie. I stayed home today due to all transport being down so I have had a wonderful day talking to Emily on Skype. We've been planning a potential trip to Ireland and sounds so wonderful. I can not wait! I'm really glad I've got Emily to organise stuff - because I would be hopeless without her! Seriously - she knows everything, its amazing.
Last night I finished cleaning at like 12:43am, and like the minute I sat down on my bed to go to sleep I got a message from Mum saying "Goodnight". SHE'S PSYCHIC!!! Mothers know what your doing even when your overseas Kids, That stuff is not a joke!!!
Recently I've been thinking lots about wanting to be a comedy writer. How much fun would that be? You wouldn't have to be on camera - which is the part I hate, but you do still technically get your stuff on Camera which is pretty cool. Plus I think it would be a really fun and communal job and I think you'd make lots of friends with that job. Fun Fun Fun.
If I did become one I would want to go to New York and work for SNL. That would be the dream. It just has so many opportunities for great writing and you can base it on current events - which means you'll never run out of material like you could on a sitcom. Plus, its one show on television thats been going for 35 years, I doubt they'd stop it now. What would they fill the time slot with? There would be a lot of angry people. Plus if you started now you'd get to work with cool people like Fred Armisen, Andy Samburg, Kenan Thompson, Kirstin Wiig etc. How fun! And meet cool celebrities and SNL Alumn. It would be so awesome.
I would like to go to the Upright Citizens Bridge in New York and Second City in Chicago for their Improv stuff. It would be so much fun and a lot of SNL scouts go there for potential writers and actors. That would be super cool. Lots of people have started at Second City, Scott Adsit, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Steve Carell - heaps. It would be a great atmosphere I think.
Anyway if you were wondering about my current dreams thats what they are. I'm sure it'll change at some stage but that sounds just wonderful right now. Anyway....
I was going to start a Vlog with Jessica but I can't seem to get my camera to work so it'll have to be when I get back, sorry Jessica. That should be fun. Its probably best that we don't do it during BEDA anyway because while I love it now I bet it won't be as fun when the kids get back and I'm super busy. Hopefully it will be though because this is my favourite part of the day right now!
I should go make some dinner - so I will sign off. Don't forget I love and miss you all xx
Until Tomorrow xx

4th of April: Easter and Baby Names
Hello Everyone,
Feeling really down today due to the fact that I'm on my own for Easter. I didn't think it would really affect me that much but I really miss everyone today so it kind of sucks. I think I will just write about my favourite baby names today to make me feel better and then go and clean.
I love names. A lot. I'm always thinking about names and I don't know why. But anyway, here are some of my favourites:
Currently, for my girls I love the names (In order):
1) Alice. (The reason this is number one is because it is surprisingly the least popular, and I like unpopular names that aren't ridiculous. So Alice isn't too far away from normality that she'd get teased for it - but it's unlikely that there would be several in her year level going on current figures. It hasn't made the top 100 list in the past 50 years or something ridiculous like that)
2) Evangeline. (This one is getting more popular due to Evangeline Lilly I think, but I think its really lovely. She would get called Evie for short. I like it because its different - but I don't like it because its close to Evangelist. I don't think it would really be a problem though - because its not a name that kids will ever realise is close to Evangelist in enough time to tease her, and when she's older no ones really going to care, unless she is one. Then she'd probably be happy about it hahha.
3) Ava. (It was my original choice but its gotten so common now that its turned me off it. While I would probably call her "Ava-Jayne" as a hyphen name - its still number five in the most popular names at the moment and quite frankly thats too high for my liking. Its annoying though because I've loved that name for SO LONG. Far before it started getting popular. Don't know who started that trend - but I'm annoyed!
So they're my top three girls names. Not sure what Middle names I like with them though. I like Alice Elizabeth, Ava-Jayne wouldn't have a middle name, but nothing sounds as nice as Evangeline Lily but I obviously can't name her that! So if you have any suggestions let me know. For both Alice and Evangeline!!!
Other Girls names I like:
Claire
Charlotte
Isobel
Addison (This is probably my fourth favourite, but I just can't see her being called "Addy". I don't like it.)
Emilie
Brea
But they're all just options if whoever ends up fathering my children really hates the first three hahaha. I hope not!
For boys names I'm not as sure on them as I am for girls. I like boys names but they just always change for me. So my top ones are, but in no particular order:
1) Dylan (I like this but I also really like it as a girls name - so it doesn't seem super masculine to me anymore, which sort of makes me less excited about it.)
2) Andrew. (Its really nice but I would hate it to be shortened to "Drew" in particular, or even Andy, but that's much better. I really like Andrew as a full name. Is that too much to ask of people to not abbreviate it? Sigh)
3) Benjamin (Same with Andrew. Full name please!)
4) Ethan (I like Ethan a lot, but now it reminds me of that creepy guy from Lost hahaha)
5) Miles (I like it because it reminds me of Miles Hater from Looking for Alaska. And who could go wrong with a John Green reference)
6) James (I like it because its a strong male name and its really lovely - but I don't have a really huge attachment to it - in the sense that I can't see a child of mine with that name. Its weird -but I really like it.)
Anyway I think thats enough Boys names! You get the general idea. If you have any suggestions on nice boys and girls names I would love to hear them!!!
Best be off - need to do some cleaning and try to unjam my window. Its currently stuck open - which makes it very cold in my room, but I can't seem to fix it. Oh well, such is life. Tomorrow I am going to the Tower of London, but all the tube lines to there aren't working at the moment so I have to try and navigate my way there on buses. Wish me luck!!!!
Love you all,
Until Tomorrow xx

3rd of April: Remember Me and Tina Fey.
Hey All,
So I logged onto Youtube today and I found out that Tina Fey was in ENGLAND this week and I had no idea. What an awful fan I am. I can not love her more and yet I had no idea that she was in this country. Oh well. I watched her on Jonathan Ross and she wasn't as awesome as she usually is in interviews - probably that awful blend of British and American humors. Sometimes they're just too different!
I watched Remember Me at the movies with Candyce today and it was a really great film. I felt super aware of the fact that he was "Robert Pattinson" throughout the movie - but it was mainly due to the girls giggling behind us. He did a good job overall though so I was very impressed! I love Emilie De Ravin, but her waivering accent was rather distracting. Hopefully she gets better at American accents as she goes along because I want her to be in a lot of movies!! Lena Olin was fabulous as usual, but definitely not in it enough. I just love how subtle she can be - yet portray so much. Ahhh she's a genius.
The film itself was really great - very emotional, but not so much that it was unrealistic. What I really liked about it was the fact that it really didn't glorify or romanticize their relationship at all. It was very mundane and normal - with a sense of real love there which was great. So overall I really enjoyed it and would definitely see it again.
Speaking of movies, I am so so so excited to see Date Night. I can not WAIT! It'll be amazing. So excited - wish Emily was coming too due to her loving of Tina Fey as well - but alas these oceans make seeing a movie together rather difficult!
I have been so tired all day as I didn't sleep very well last night. I slept through the night but I felt like I was, like, playing basketball or something in my sleep because I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. Oh well - I'm sure tonights sleep will be magical. I'm so excited to sleep - my god I am a grandma!
I am excited to watch Lost tonight too - last weeks episode was so brilliant though that it will be hard to top it. We can not be getting to the end of the series - it feels like so much is left open and we still only have six episodes to go. Ahhhhhh. So nervous - hoping it all comes together soon!!!!
Not sure what else to write right now - despite the fact that I am in a writing mood. I might update one of my other blogs or start writing a script or something. Better yet - perhaps write in my sleep and accomplish two tasks at once!
Hooray!
See you all tomorrow! xx

2nd of April: 10 and a half hours on the phone.
Hello All,
Ok, so its only the SECOND DAY OF BEDA and I am already leaving my blog posts til the very last minute. Infact I have nine minutes to post this!!!
I had a great day today - spent 10 and a half hours on the phone - six of which we spent gas bagging to Emily, Jessica and Gabrielle. So much fun. Oh how I love Skype's ability to make me feel like I am right in the room with people. Sigh - Australia, I miss you.
I also spent the night with Candyce and Isabelle. Isabelle is a German Au Pair taking over for Candyce when she leaves. She seems really lovely so I wish her all the best with it! Too bad I won't be around though when she's here! Oh well.
I wrote to my old Drama teacher a few weeks ago asking her about whether or not she thinks I have what it takes to be a good director, and she was really positive in her response which is so great. She also gave me a few ideas to do Arts Administration - which I actually think would be right up my alley - considering I really like desk jobs but love creativity too. I think its something I'd really like to look into. So I'm really glad I actually messaged her and didn't chicken out. So if you ever read this Steph, Thanks!!!
Anyway I am going to sleep because I have to get up early-ish to go see Remember Me with Candyce. I'm sort of looking forward to it due to Emily De Ravin and Lena Olin - but naturally my beef with Robert Pattison is a worry. I'm sorry the spelling and grammar on this is awful - but I'm in a rush.
ONLY THREE MINUTES LEFT!!!
Love you all,
Until tomorrow xx

1st of April: BEDA
Hello All who bother to read this,
Today, the 1st of April, marks the beginning of BEDA, Blog Every Day in April. And I really want to give it a go this year. Mainly because I actually REMEMBERED it was BEDA month, rather than finding out half way through last April. So here goes nothing! I'm sort of thinking this will be an unrealistic goal, but I'm hoping I really do keep up with it - considering I'm on a trip and this would be a nice little reference to go back to, as I am lazy and don't keep a diary.
Well - I shall begin with my somewhat boring day. Today i got up at 6.45am to get Annabel, Harry and Lucy off to Annabel's mothers for Easter. While I'll miss the kids and everything, I'm super glad I get a break to catch up on sleep and to actually relax for a while. It feels like time is going by so quickly yet so slowly all at once.
I then proceeded to start organising all of Harry's toys and do a bit of kitchen cleaning, then I went for a walk and came back home to watch MasterChef, which is now almost into the final week! I can't believe I got into MasterChef Australia while in ENGLAND, but whatever, it works for me. I know who wins though so the suspense is sort of lacking - but its still fun to watch how they all get there.
After watching some MasterChef I watched some Glee - which then inspired me to dance around in my bedroom and sing like a crazy person for about two hours. I really miss just being able to sing when I want. I can't really sing here because it's not my house and 9 times out of 10 I will wake a sleeping infant, and the other times I'm in public so its not really appropriate. So it's nice to get the opportunity to be a nutcase for a little while =)
In my days off I am planning to go to London, Cambridge and Oxford to see all the stuff I want to see there. Hopefully I will actually be able to get to some of these places - considering its Easter weekend and most things will be closed for holidays. Ahhh - I really hope they're not - but anyone who knows me knows they will be. I'm just that unlucky.
While right now it is still officially the 1st of April in England, it IS technically the 2nd of April in Australia - so I thought I would take this opportunity to say Happy Birthday to my best friend Jarrod. We've been friends forever and will continue to be if I have anything to say about it. So have a great day! =D
Anyway - I am super tired and I think I will try and get some sleep. Hopefully see you tomorrow xx
