Today Sara and I went for a drive to find props for the project she's putting together (mentioned in this post). We went to an opshop (thrift store) on the outside of town and it was like heaven. It is the king of all opshops. It is so huge it even has a big cafe in the middle of it and also sells groceries.

We had a fairly quick look around (by my ambling standards), got some bits and pieces for the project and headed back. These items were just a few things that I grabbed when they caught my eye. I especially love the thermos with the little side pump. I think I won't be able to help myself and I'll likely head back there again this week and to the one on the complete other side of town too. I am considering buying one of those dorky wheeled shopping bags that grandmas have to cart opshop finds around in while I bus around town.






+ Sara scored this typewriter today for $4. It needs a bit of a fix up, but in the meantime it is nice to look at!

I am very fortunate to have some very lovely blog friends and Adeline is one of them. I can't wait to write her back.

Today I am going to try to tick things off my list that I've been meaning to get done. My BFF Sara is running an interactive art project called 'Can I Help You?', wherein she will become something of a personal assistant (something I think she was born to do - this lady gets stuff done!). In different venues, people are able to approach her and you can ask her to help you with something. It is tempting to lure her to my house to help me clean up the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor, but I'm trying to think of something more fun that she might be able to help me with. Maybe she can come to my house and help me watch five seasons of Angel? I think she'd be up for that.

I am very fascinated by the little differences in language and wording between Western countries. You might remember my Regional Dialect Meme vlog from a few months ago - it mainly focused on pronunciation, but there are lots of specific word differences between Australian and the US. I made a larger list of some differences I could think of on my Listography. The words above are just some of my favourites.

Can you think of any other fun word differences?
