Awesome, great and just wonderful... My week at a glance

What an awesome week I’ve had! My eldest daughter, my Mini-Me, went to camp with her school. She had been somewhat nervous about it, she’s not very keen on going away without her family but it all turned out to be great, she had a fantastic couple of days. I also had my birthday and what a wonderful day that was! I didn’t have to lift a finger, my family spoiled me rotten and showered me with gifts. Daughters sang the birthday song, some songs by Adele as well as the Australian national anthem in my honor. My studies are also going well so far; I am organised and keeping up with all the reading, lectures and tutorial discussions.

On Thursday I was woken – as every Thursday these past six months – around 1 am by those female delinquents for neighbors. They were sitting in their backyard, sharing a couples of bottles of cheap white wine. They had a male acquaintance with them and he was the reason I woke up. He was very upset with one of the she-devils which he expressed with very colorful and explicit words. I am now aware that the ”eff” word can be used as a verb, an adjective and a noun and repeated several times in one sentence. I found it somewhat monotonous to listen to, he needed some variation in order to keep the attention of his audience. Nevertheless, if anyone would have talked to me that way they would have been kicked out of my house and out of my life for all eternity. The miscreant sheilas did not seem to mind though, they were just sitting there sipping their wine and smoking their fags. Luckily the heated lecture lasted for only 10 minutes and the bogans went inside. ”Bogan” is Australian slang for ”an individual who is recognized to be from an unsophisticated background or someone whose speech, clothing, attitude and behavior exemplifies a lack of manners and education”. I had heard from their landlord a couple of weeks earlier that these villains had been asked to find a new home. I prayed that that day would come swiftly. And what do you know, my prayer was heard! When I looked out the window on Friday afternoon, I saw what looked like moving boxes. Later that evening we were happily watching from our bedroom window how they carried out their furniture and emptied the house. What a wonderful feeling! I have been happy all weekend, with a fluttering heart and a big smile on my face. I have to pinch myself sometimes, just to make sure I am not dreaming! They are finally out, O-U-T!

                          The usual weekends at the bogans is now history! 

Today is Monday and it happens to be the birthday of Queen Elisabeth of England and therefore a national holiday in Australia. Thank you for that your majesty! As I said, it’s been an awesome week!
