Week of busy-ness
Sunday, 08 February, 2004
Monday: I work, Ben helps Tho move and eats noodles and the best rockmelon in the world. Duncan and Christie come down to have dinner with us (Thai) and visit the secret toilet behind the restaurant. Tuesday: I work, Ben goes to Sydney for a training day at Drummoyne Presbyterian. In the evening we have a dinner for Bible study leaders to give them information about training and plan faculty time for Unistarters. I make two lots of kuchen but only one and a half goes. Wednesday: I work, Ben goes to discuss the new ECU website with Clubs and Societies, then we both go to staff meeting and then I spend the evening formatting the booklet for Unistarters. Thursday: I don't work but instead get up early and order 100 folders and dividers for the ECU folders we're making for Week 1. Ben and I go to Uni to photocopy fliers then drive to Sydney for a barbecue for students living in the Shire. Around 30 people show up, including a significant number of first years—some of whom bravely turned up on their own. In the evening we have the first church Bible study for the year at Tim and Liz's. We eat dessert and Tia Maria Tim Tams and talk about the year. Friday: I don't work but Ben and I go to counselling in the morning, staff and committee meeting all day (extremely hot!) and Ben goes to IBM in the evening. I stay home and re-read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because I'm writing a review for it for Salt. Saturday: Day of rest. We sleep in. I spend the rest of the day and night catching up on emails and reading Cryptonomicon. Sunday (today): Day of unrest. I get up early, do the laundry, do the shopping, cook dinner before lunch and spend most of the day writing my review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and planning games and prayer focus on Slovenia for Sunday School. In the afternoon there is Sunday School and church. We skip After Supper Supper at the rockpool so I can come home and finish my review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix so I can send it off to Salt and take time to tend to my neglected blog. Monday (tomorrow): Unistarters, interviewing Marina and dinner with Steve (who is allergic to tomatoes) and Bethany.Posted in:

Oooh-err, you tried the sin biscuits!
I wasn’t too keen on those new tim tams. Better to stick with the classic plain chocolate ones. Have you tried biting off the ends and sucking milo through them? Ohmygoodness, yum yum yum.
today|tonight reckoned that you’d have to eat your body-weight in those things to get remotely tipsy. Then again, this is not exactly a trustworthy information source we are talking about here.
Triple J did a very fun take on them.
Sorry to say this but I’m not actually that excited about Tim Tams; I just tried the Tia Maria biscuits because they were there and Liz was passing them around.
Wow… so busy….take it easy la!
as for the Tia Maria Tim Tams, I have yet to try one of those….just to see what all the fuss is about!
My sister had a packet of alcoholic Tim Tams in the fridge. I tried one - very sweet! I’m not sure what the big deal is - at Christmas, you could get whisky (sp?) Jack Daniels fudge and other alcoholic flavours at Woolies, plus you can get alcoholic choccies in the supermarket normally anyway!
Maybe it’s because the Tim Tam is an Australian icon that’s normally viewed as safe and dependable and child-friendly. I personally don’t see what all the huha is about anyway.
Tim Tams are the last frontier. Don’t mess with the Tim Tams.
