The Victorian Era

Result! I've found a place to live, which is always a Good Thing. It's in Mt Vic, so behold the dawn of the Victorian Era (cue trumpets sounding and general fanfare). I only looked at a couple of places, and I totally fell in love with Mt Vic so I absolutely had to move there. Now I'm wondering how I've lived in Wgtn for 5 years and never lived there, and also hoping that it lives up to my Expectations of Greatness. I have a couple of weeks to get organised to move and there is a LOT to do, so I really have to get my A into G. Plus I told a friend that I'd help out on the 48 Hour Film Challenge this weekend, so somehow I'll have to fit this all in. Is this becoming a recurring theme?...

Other than that, I spent a lovely sunny weekend with the Parental Unit, ambling around town, taking in some of the tourist sights, and just hanging out and joking around with M&D. Very mellow.

And in other news, how teeny is Queen Vic's crown in this photo? It's a crown she had made especially for frequent use, as the official Crown of England was too heavy for her to wear. Which is very practical, but the woman obviously had no understanding of scale - as a short and squat lady, wearing a tiny crown made her look like a cupcake with a cherry on top. Mmmm, cupcakes and diamonds. Two of my favourite things.
