Class and footy and working for the under 14's on the weekend. I feel like I always have an excuse for getting behind on my blog. This time it was a visit from America. My friend Dave from biology at Penn State was here with his girl friend last week. They stayed with me and explored Melbourne during the day and hung out at night. It was lovely, unfortunately I was quite tired by the time I went to bed and didn't blog. I did take them out for Thai but other than that they pretty much explored on their own with a few suggestions from me. They are now off to Sydney and then to Cairns. 

Other than that I had a pretty quiet week. Except that Damien officially moved back to Melbourne on Saturday. He came over for dinner last night, I made kale and ricotta ravioli from scratch. Mmmm. But he eats more than me so there were no leftovers. Now he's off to Asia for a month. I'm going to join him in Singapore for a wedding Saturday. Then we're diving before I head back to class. 

Today I went to class. We ended early so Kat and I took the long train ride to pick up my dive equipment. They said that it is very well maintained. We got back to the city and joined Melissa and Donna for dinner at Spudbar. Spudbar is a baked potato restrurant. They serve loaded baked potatoes of all varieties. I have a Hawaiian which was a sweet potato with pineapple, cabbage, tomatoes, cheese, and beets. It was amazing. After dinner the 4 of us went to a Chinese tea ceremony. It was fantastic. I will have to go back. After tea, Kat and I floated home on the train carrying 2 bikes, 2 backpacks, tea, a tea set, and all my dive equipment. We took up so much space!
