It's 8am and Matt's room is a sauna. Tis weird cuz the rest of the house is tolerable then you walk into Matt's room and this wave of heat hits you. I sleep alot and feel like I'm gonna melt into a puddle. Gonna put on bathers, have a cold shower and just air dry.

Karaoke - neat as usual, we are multiplying rapidly. It was once just Matt, Kitty and I, now I'm sure the song requests from the entire table could fill the entire night. Everyone wants to sing with me for some reason, it's kinda freaky. Only got in 3 songs. Khe Sahn with Matt, jumped up and did Oops I Did It Again with Kitty cuz she put it in to do by herself but asked me if I wanted to join her. And I got 99 Red Balloons, which was all good as usual. Didn't get to do Wanted Dead Or Alive with Sarah tho which sucked.

Then some filthy bloke managed to block the urinal - just the urinal, all other toilets in the house were working. Norbert directed people to use the public toilets just outside. But no, one anal moron had to say that he would complain to the council if they didn't close. Okay yeah, I know the Occ Health & Safety act DOES require them to close if the toilets are unavailable, but that is just being anal. This was about 11pm. So we stood outside for about 45 minutes talking and singing D*A*A*S songs and scaring everyone else away. Eventually migrated home and watched 10 Things *grins*.

Eventually got to the beach yesterday, it was cold and wet and salty, all good. I got semi-dumped. Remembered to grab my sunnies before it happened but was alarmed to find my bathers shorts halfway down my legs afterwards with both press-studs and the velcro open. Lucky I was wearing a bikini bottom underneath. Bloody waves trying to strip me... I think we need to go to beach again today. Beach is all good.

Went out of our way to get cheap petrol because I didn't manage to fill up before the price shot up again. Went to Liberty Mt. Lawley which was 92c as opposed to the 98/99c petrol was everywhere else. Now, the pumps at this place are weird. I realise that pumps in the row nearest to the shop - they have the regular unleaded nozzles on the end. We parked in the second row this time. I grabbed the end nozzle and started filling 'er up. And the fact that the pump was yellow seemed perfectly normal to me. Now, I know the car was nearing empty but I managed to get $30 in there with no protest (usually it will tell me it's "full" before it is because the tank is screwy, after the first "I'm full" click I can usually squeeze another $10 in there. So when I got to $30 and it hadn't indicated full yet I decided I'll leave it at that. Then Matt leans out and sees and comments "You realise you just put premium unleaded in?" Crap, so much for going out of the way for cheap fuel. Well, didn't matter that badly because the premium there was the price of regular unleaded everywhere else. Still, at that price I shouldn't have been able to get $30 in without protest, maybe the tank likes the premium nozzle. The gauge is only showing a half-tank but we've decided that it uses a random number generator to decide how full it's gonna show, hence I go by mileagle rather than petrol gauge to figure how much fuel I have. The girl in the shop commented "Well, think of it like this, it's like giving your car a chocolate." That amused me so I was less pissed off. Hopefully Not-Bob runs better, tho I'm not sure how I'm gonna tell the difference cuz I don't see a problem normally.

O-day tomorrow, lotsa freebies to grab (yay!). Possible thunderstorms and 39C, I am SOOOO gonna run in the rain.
