Did some tweaking on the TNFa assay and changed it to a much shorter incubation time, which is good for me. And played Lab Manger and got some other bits and pieces sorted.
Social
Well it started on Thursday when I went to see the wedding venue organiser, and we paid our deposit and sorted out a table map and hammered out prices, picked vases and cake tables. Decided on wet weather arrangements and picked a cake. From there we headed into Parnell and went to a Christmas party for Nick's old work. Yeah that is what I thought, in October - jumping the gun a bit, but is easier to get a venue and have people attend. I have never seen such drunk girls on a work next day night behaving like skanky hoes since I went to Uni. I felt a little sorry for their partners. But on ward, and on to Friday as the auspicious role as Social Club Sectary I arranged the AGM, and got a bit carried away with the pizza. But oh well. So on the 19th Dec if you are in town come have some fun with some scientists while enjoying a Casino Royale theme. Then Saturday rolled around and I made cup cakes for Briar, watch her and Aselle's squash game. Which was very short. Headed to the plant barn with Di (to be mother in-law) and got a few plants to put in my garden. Mainly got herbs, will be using some of them tonight. Then headed home to finish making cupcakes
Which turned out - well amazing. Not only in looks but in taste, I think the Gin and Lemon ones where the best. I really need a better cocoa powder to make chocolate ones. Either that or use melted chocolate. I also did the Dove Star Pink Walk. Which is to raise awareness of breast cancer and funds for research into cures for it. I think about 5000 people did it this year which is just slightly mind blowing. I didn't wear pink, but the people I was with had enough pink to cover up for my lack. Sunday I did some gardening and got some of my plants in.
Games
Played some Bejeweled and a little bit of WoW, would have played more but Nick and Terry got us capped and I can't patch. I need to play more Wii, though I am keeping up with the Everyone Votes channel
Wellness
FINALLY made my 75kg mark and that makes it officially 15kg lost and 10kg to go. I biked to work today and it almost killed me due to my unfitness so, if I keep it up I should have knocked those 10kg off by the time I get to Christmas. Feeling pretty good about that, particular last Monday I went bikini shopping with Briar and well it was depressing because she looked so great and I have so far to go. So here is hoping that with a bit of work when I go and do my shopping it won't be depressing.
Yumminess
The Gin and Lemon cupcakes. Out of the latest Foodtown mag. Just YUM.

Zombies
Ummm was a little creepy and was well done, didn't really see anything but of course your imagination makes it worse.
Heroes - S2 Ep 1&2
Oh so good. Love this show.
Books
War and Peace
Finally into the war, and yeah I think I need to make a list of who every one is and who they are related to, as there are so many people it is getting confusing keeping track of them all. Now I am biking the reading will slow down, which is a shame. But I can read when I am skinny, if the biking doesn't kill me.

Kiln is fixed and popped out on Saturday and did some glazing. Next week will have photos to post, maybe.
We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master.
