Then I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/national-folk-festival.html\">National Folk Festival.<\/a> I forgot my sleeping bag, so borrowed a blanket for the evening. The next day I headed into Belconnen mall to buy something for the next few days. While sitting there, sending a <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/yewenyi\">tweet<\/a> to twitter, Cath walked up. Astounding really. So a little while later I <a href=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.blogspot.com\/2008\/07\/vivid-national-photography-festival.html\">stayed<\/a> at their place. Then on the Labour day weekend they came to visit me. We headed off to the zoo.<br \/>\nWe started the day by catching the train from <a
