Adelaide is usually relatively quiet. Adelaide without OCFers is even worse!
While everyone (including my housemates) was at the Easter Camp, I spent my time ALL ALONE in this lonely house.
Well not really, because I was rostered to work over 3/4 of the long weekend. It was really an interesting few days.
Before I headed off to work on Friday, I went to the Good Friday church service in the morning. We watched a short skit performed by some of our members. It was cool with the lighting effect and all. And of course, it was a good reminder of what Easter is really meant to be.
When I went to work, our play coordinator gave us nurses cute bunny ears to wear. The whole ward was still decorated from the Fairy and Wizard day a few days prior to this, and plus there were Easter egg decorations around the nurses station. I spent some time making paper bunnies with one of my patients, and chasing her around when she stole my ears! The whole atmosphere at work was brighter, and kids were happier :)
Yesterday a whole heap of police men and women came to visit our babies and children, giving out chocolates and taking photos with Easter bunnies (few police people wore bunny costume). They handed out chocolate eggs to the kids and gave us a whole bag (at least 50 medium sized eggs) too. Even as a choc lover I had never eaten so many chocolates in a day over few days. Talk about health promotion!

On another note, there were so many funny people early in the morning and late at night. I guess they had just finished/started drinking and partying. I felt the joy of long weekend all around the city. I had extra time to watch them because Moses was at camp and couldn't pick me up from work. I like people watching, there are so many interesting people around - I enjoying observing them as long as they don't come near me.

Before I log off, let me finish with this verse:
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
