We did the tourist dance earlier this year in Italy. We did the tourist dance but now next time we go we can do the (less touristy) dance.

Buongiorno, mi chiamo Catherine


Hello lovely people,

My name is Catherine Story and here is my first whack at creating a blog for the public to read. Here you will find the musings and complaints of my day-to-day life, as well as be able to view the small things I have made, observed and photographed. You will gain insight into the adventures experienced my my friends and me, and hopefully you will enjoy yourself along the way.

By the end of next week school will have finished completely and I will finally have the time to do all the amazing things I have always wanted to do.

Here are some of my after-school plans:

  • go on public transport adventures with salome wilson (salomewilson.blogspot.com) and any others who would like to join - more on this later
  • go stay in victor harbor with my ladies
  • party the night away
  • officially become an adult
  • celebrate my adult-hood
  • make quirky things
  • catch up with all the people I have seen less of becuase of final schooling year isolation
  • go camping with the family
  • read books and relax
  • hit sydney with my substitute sister
  • generally go out on a whim
So the idea of the public transport adventures is Salome and I will, (armed with bus tickets) travel to unexplored territory around Adelaide. For example, if Salome and I had never been to Bridewater we would get on a bus and go there, just for the fun of the adventure. This idea sparked when we went on an adventure to Semaphore, and had a fun and relaxing time.

These adventures are also (in theory) a money-saving tool, so we are not allowed to buy food, we just have to pack lunches beforehand (coffee not counted)

So a few things about myself:

  • I live in Adelaide, Australia.
  • I am a pale child, and cannot leave the house in summer between 10am-4pm
  • Hats are my friend, as well as suncreen and long-sleeves
  • I wear glasses
  • Singing
  • I like coffee and tea
  • Savoury over sweet
  • Craft, clothes and shoes
  • painting, sculpting
  • lipstick
  • mothering
  • dogs over cats
  • ABC and SBS over 7, 9 and 10
  • embarrasing moments
  • good food
  • wanky art talk
  • having fun.
