Head Torch + Worm Farm = F.U.N

So kind of Tricia (Country Program Manager for AP Australia) to invite the AP team over for dinner on Saturday night. Mel picked me up and I sat in the back seat of her car while we she sat on the right hand side of the car and drove on the left side of the rode. Needless to say I had my head hanging out the window of the backseat like a dog trying not to puke. Car sickness is brutal as it is but when you are all backward…don’t try it. I lived to tell the tale however and crushed some cheese crackers chased by some champagne to lighten the blow. Works everytime. Dinner was delicious and the company was lovely but there was an absolute highlight!

Tricia’s husband Michael whipped out this awesome head torch! (Rach, do you love this or what?! I thought of you immediately from that “Shock your Mama” party we had in college. This headlight is legit!) Michael had 2 lenses on this bad boy – focus and diffuse said in an Australian accent which makes it absolutely hilarious. Plus they call it a torch…love it! He proceeded to tell me that he had a worm farm in the backyard. Michael and I strapped on our head torches and proceeded to said worm farm. Aussie’s build this farm to eat their compost and then they essentially take the “worm pee” and put it in their gardens as fertilizer. Sound gross? It is actually fascinating. Loved every minute of it. Come to find out the head torch is around $100.00 AUD so I won’t be getting one of those any time soon but had to share my excitement.


Life = grand. I love my colleagues, I love Jan, I love my new job, I love where I live, I love the weather, I live down the street from a yoga studio, I live 45 seconds from the bay, I live 78 seconds from a gourmet kitchen shop and herb & spice shop that offers cooking classes, and all of my underwear is currently hanging outside on the clothes line and I feel like a million euro. Wish you were here!
