I don’t have anything very intelligent to say about yesterday’s big political events. Kind of excited about the first female PM thing and I have always quite liked Julia but I’m a bit sad about the way it all happened and I don’t think it is really going to mean a change for the better on the things I am passionate about, especially better treatment of asylum seekers. Not to mention I have maintained a bit of a soft spot for Kevin. I was very excited when he got in and despite some of the massive disappointments there have also been some good things, most note worthy the apology to the stolen generation. I guess it may mean Labor is more likely to win the next election as she has a bit more of an ability to move on some of the unpopular policies but I’ll probably be voting for the Greens anyway.

A much less important event but significant to me none the less is today I turn 28. Not a very momentous birthday although I have been reflecting on the fact it is now 10 years since I turned 18 and left school. That seems kind of big. Not to mention this is my last birthday before I become a mother and from now on in her birthday’s will be far bigger events than mine I’m sure. Last night we went for dinner at an Italian restaurant. There were 23 lovelies to celebrate with so that was special. I also got a massage and a haircut to pamper myself a little. Carrying round all the extra weight sure works out the legs. It was a lovely night, apart from the fact that I managed to vomit up most of my dinner. I was a bit worried I was going to start feeling sick again but it seems it was just a one off. I may have been a bit adventurous in what I ordered.
