Sunday Wrap U p.

Yesterday, was a full on day, It's Monday morning and I'm still absolutely exhausted. It started off at 7am, I dragged myself out of bed and threw myself into the shower, I ran around, stressing out trying to be organised and have everything ready to take to the park for the surprise baby shower I have organised for my sister. Once I got to the park I started to set up, but soon realizing that the table cloth I had brought could not with sand the winds and needed to be thumb tacked down, so I rang my best friend who thankfully was able to bring some for me, that was the only slip up of the day, pretty good if you ask me. I set up the table, teas, cakes, cookies, lollies, drinks, etc. People started to arrive, and then my sister arrived, my mum has convinced her to talk my niece and nephew to the park for a play. She was completely surprised, she had no clue, it was great. She walked up to us in track pants and a singlet and started crying, it was a great moment.

The party worked our really awesome, my sister, Jess was very happy and couldn't be more appreciative.
The shower finished at about 12.30 - 1pm so I ran home and unpacked everything from the car after the clean up and headed around to Nicks, I picked him up and we headed into the city. This week in Adelaide is Writers Week, where authors from all over the world come to Writers Week and do book talks and signings.  At 2.30pm author David Levithan was doing his book talk, he collaborated with John Green on 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson' and wrote 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' The talk was really interseting and I'm glad we saw it.

After the talkand as we started to walk out and we bumped into our friend, and Nicks fellow band member, Nick (yes they have the same name), we did bump into one of Nick's friends (our friend Nick, not my boyfriend Nick) who, after being introduced to us got a real kick out of our names "Nick, Nick and Nicole, that's like something our of a movie".
Anyway the three of us headed to the Adelaide national art gallery for the new exhibition 'parallel collision'. Parts of the exhibition were interesting but I have to say that most of it was pretty, for lack of better word, bland.

From there we got back in the car and dropped (our friend) Nick off to his car, parked on the other side of the city where their was a record fair being held, we had a short look around but then had to leave. We fare welled Nick and headed back.

On our way home we stopped at our local pub to meet my family for dinner. After dinner we got a call from Nicks mum saying, Nicks grandmother (who, after a serious heart attack late last year has since been living at a elderly care home) Her house was broken into. Lucky so far it seems they actually didn't take off with anything, they had filled a suit case with a bunch of random things and dropped it outside and left.

So that's it, the most busy Sunday I've had for awhile, I plan to spend my Monday recovering and taking it easy. I'm beat.

Here's some photos from the baby shower I took.
