My eye infection started to get better after only one day of drops. By day 4 it was back to normal and contact went back in on Day 5. I'm glad that is over now.
I just went to the iTunes store and downloaded Phil Collins Hits and The Essential Michael Jackson. Totally cool albums! I'm listening to Rock With You right now :).
My leather jacket arrived from the UK and it is a beautiful soft great quality leather. The jacket fits like a glove except for the sleeves! The reach down past my finger tips. Now I don't have the longest arms but in general most jackets hit somewhere between my wrist bone and just before the ends of my fingers. The sleeves on this jacket I have concluded, are abnormally long and they have a zipper which adds a degree of difficulty to having them shortened. I'm glad to say that there is a guy here in Hobart who is just a gun at altering and fixing leather gear. I took the jacket into him on Saturday and we decided that if he shortens the sleeves and takes the zippers out completely the sleeves will hit at my wrist bones. It will only cost $35 too!! I'm picking it up in a week. I hope he does a good job!
And just beacuse I can here are a couple of vids. My two favourite Michael Jackson/Jacksons songs. Probably two of the best songs ever produced. Off the Wall and Can you Feel it. Enjoy :)
Would I be revealing my age if I say I remember when Can you Feel it came out? I'm sure I first saw/heard it on Countdown! Hahahaha....

I love Phil Collins - have you seen that Cadbury ad where the gorilla plays the drums to In The Air Tonight? Amazing stuff.
And hooray for your leather jacket! :D

Can I ask you whether the leather jacket is true to size or a small or big make? I am a small size 10 but I want it to sit fitted.
THANKS SO MUCH!

miss karen - isn't it just the best ad ever? I really love the gorilla but In the Air tonight is also my fave Phil Collins song...cleverly done.
anon - yes it fits well and I think its true to size except for the extra long arms or perhaps I have extra short arms LOL? You might get away with a size 8 if you are a smallish 10. I definitely don't fit into size 8 jackets (even though the sleeves are the right length) and the only size 12 jacket I own is something from Bardot (I find their sizings to be on the too small for me side). So as a small size 10 I would figure you were smaller than me so maybe go the 8. I will message you my measurements on Vogue forums :)
