When I came home from my outing in Toowoomba it was so hot mum had the dogs inside; as she had the air conditioner on. And there wasn’t the usual excited reaction from Ilse my miniature schnauzer who is a quiet dog but she does have her moments. And so that’s another suggestion that people can do to keep their dogs noise under control.

On Tuesday, some of the supervisers at Luke’s Place took us to Toowoomba Grand Plaza to have lunch and then we did some shopping. I decided to buy a lamb kebab for lunch with sweet chilli sauce and I also had a bit of a talk to a disabled person that was sitting at the same table that I was sitting at.

And this person is in an electric wheelchair, and I was curious to find out if they have electric wheelchairs that can do variable speeds? And she told me that there are electric wheelchairs that can do that and then she told me that these were computerized. I also found out that she likes reading too, and she is able to read a book herself but has a person turn the pages for her.

Then after I had lunch a superviser took me to the QBD bookshop, and I brought one book. But of course there were other books that were there that I would have liked but didn’t get. And I then went to The Sanity Music Store and got something for dad for father’s day.

Sometime last year mum gave me a vinyl dog bed for Ilse as she knew that I wanted one for her. She had a couple of sheepskin dog beds originally but Ilse wrecked them both when she discovered they had a zipper. And so I decided to try this vinyl dog bed and at first when I put the bed on the floor and told Ilse to get on it originally she wouldn’t have anything to do with it. And so then I decided to put it in her crate as it fitted in nicely and she looked forward to getting a treat at night when I told her to get in her crate.

Well I don’t have this crate anymore as my mother wanted to do a swap. But I told mum that I wanted the dog bed inside it. And as this dog bed that I have is too big for the crate it now has a place on the floor. Also, Ilse is more use to this dog bed now as she now gets on it whenever I tell her to and I then thought that using the crate was a great way to get Ilse used to a dog bed.

As we were having our dinner last night mum and Auntie Irene (her sister) both admitted that they didn’t like Olive Oil. Irene told us she hated going into a restuarant and they just assume you like it and mum answered yes its not something that you can put on then take off. And although I knew that they were talking about salad dressings I replied “what the cartoon character?”

Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn is the fourth book in her Twilight Saga Series that is published by Little Brown and Company. And this book’s ISBN numbers are ISBN-10: 0-316-06792-X and the other ISBN is ISBN-13: 978-0-316-06792-8 and like Stephenie’s other books in the series Breaking Dawn has been written from Bella Swan’s P.O.V. But unlike her other books in The Twilight series this book also has a section that is written from Jacob Black’s P.O.V. I also think that by the time that I got round to reading Breaking Dawn I began to tire from Bella as I realize that she isn’t the reason why I kept reading these books, as why I did is because I enjoyed reading about The Cullens.

And in Breaking Dawn Bella’s old chevy truck is replaced by a temporary car, as she knows that her real vehicle replacement is coming. She is also filling in applications so that she can attend college and her fiancee who is Edward Cullen is helping her choose a college.

Edward and Bella also get married in this story, and after Bella has the baby that she was determined to have Bella then gets turned into a new born vampire because The Cullens knew that this was what she wanted as even though her baby would have survived Bella wouldn’t. Also the baby is nicknamed Nessie by almost everyone around her as her long name is a mouthful. And as Jacob Black imprinted with Nessie he now spends quite a bit of his time with The Cullens as because the imprinting had happen Edward and Bella’s baby is now considered as a member of the shape shifting indians family too. Also the members of The Volturi Coven have a part in the story too, but this time it isn’t a friendly visit.

When I went to Luke’s Place in Laidley on Tuesday, we did chair exercises, and then we had a choice of working on our designs for our paper mache masks, or repotting plants into hanging baskets and I was surprise with how many disabled people that were interested in gardening. But I chose not to do any gardening. As I decided to work on my design for my mask instead.

Then we did more of the same after lunch. And after I decided that I had enough of drawing, I then did a search a word then I read a couple of chapters of Journey To The West.

And as I was reading a superviser noticed that a few people still had their finished plaster of paris figurines still here, and she asked me what design did I do and I told her that I painted two koalas that were in a tree and she told me that someone else must have taken it home and I replied that they must have thought that it was really nice.

Eclipse is the third book of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga series which is also published by Little Brown and Company. Also the book’s ISBN numbers are ISBN-10: 0-316-16020-2 and the other ISBN number is ISBN-13: 978-0-316-16020-9. And in this third book we find out that The Cullens have moved back to Forks as the tribe of shape shifting indians in La Push are aware that it isn’t them that are causing the problem in town probably thanks to Bella’s friendship with Jacob. Also Edward tells Bella that he was a dreadful liar and says that she coped better without him than he did without her.

He also lets Bella know that he has been trying to track Victoria without much success. And there seems to be some sort of problem in a town close to Forks and a few parents are worried about sending their kids to a college there because the police in that town are having problems finding out who is doing it.

But then The Cullens realize that there must be a vampire in the neighbourhood there that are creating new born vampires. And it is originally thought that The Cullens are the new borns target but after Bella’s room got broken into and a few of her items are missing Bella realizes and mentions it to Alice that the vampire that created these new borns must be Victoria and that they aren’t after The Cullens but her. And Alice thinks that Bella is right.

The Cullens than form an alliance with the shape shifting tribe of indians, as The Cullens realize that they have to do something about the new borns or if they don’t the vampires from The Volturi Coven will. And The Cullens succeed. But at the end of the fight The Cullens meet a few vampires that are from The Volturi Coven and it was obvious to me that they were aware of the problem though the vampires from The Volturi don’t cause any problems but they seem amazed that The Cullens were able to deal with a vampire army that size all by themselves though the vampires from The Volturi Coven don’t know anything about The Cullens Alliance with the shape shifting indians from La Push.

New Moon is Stephenie Meyer’s second book of her Twilight Saga Series, and like her first book it is also published by Little Brown and Company. Also the book’s ISBN numbers are ISBN-10: 0-316-16019-9 and the other ISBN number is ISBN-13: 978-0-316-16019-3. And we discover that The Cullens are moving out of Forks as they have heard that people are disappearing and they being vampires didn’t want the Indian tribe in La Push to blame them as they know who or what The Cullens are.

Edward also attempts to end his relationship with Bella with a clean break.

And so Bella tries to adjust by improving her schoolwork but she doesn’t give much of her time to her other friends anymore and her father becomes very concerned about it and so she then tries to improve her social life a bit to get her father off her back and while rectifying the situation Bella develops a liking for horror movies.

And whenever she does something reckless, Bella discovers that she hears Edward’s voice and it gets her out of danger. But it also makes her want to do more reckless things because she wants to hear his voice over and over again.

Bella also thought she was a person that is always making promises to people like when she was about ten years old she promised Charlie who is her father that she would never get a motorbike as he has always told her that they were dangerous and in this book Bella decides to rebel a bit, as she found two old motorbikes that were being given away and she takes these bikes over to Jacob Black because she knew that he could do them up and so now she sees quite a bit of Jacob. She also discovers that a lady vampire who is called Victoria is feeling rather revengeful and is targeting Bella because James is now dead.

Twilight is Stephenie Meyer’s debut novel, and the hardcover version was first published in October 2005 by Little Brown and Company. Also the book’s ISBN is -10: 0-316-16017-2 and the other ISBN is -13: 978-0-316-16017-9 and I decided to read Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight Saga” after having watched the dvd that is based on her first book.

The book has made me become more aware of what Bella and Edward talked about. And although I liked watching the Twilight movie, reading the book has made me more aware of the details of the story that I didn’t really get from watching the movie. Also because I’ve read the book, I’ve now discovered how Bella finds out that Edward is a vampire. As Edward doesn’t tell Bella what he is except that he is dangerous, and he also tells her that she really should avoid him.

But then the more Bella found out about vampires, and the reason why Edward and his brothers and sisters sit alone together, the more she wanted Edward and her to be together always. Even if this association with Edward and his family puts her in dangerous situations.

Liss and I went to Redbank Plaza to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last Saturday, and we both enjoyed it. Liss said she enjoyed watching the witches and wizards apparating and I did too. Also for them to do that they have to turn around on the spot while they concentrate very hard on the place they want to be. The movie was also plotted differently from the book but it didn’t bother me, as for example instead of Dumbledore collecting Harry from the Dursleys, Harry waits for Dumbledore inside a cafe.

And then Harry is taken by side long apparation as Dumbledore needed to talk or rather needed Harry to talk Horace Slughorn into agreeing to teach at Hogwarts again. Liss thought that Professor Snape killed Professor Dumbledore. But I explained that Dumbledore was dying in the movie, and it was also what he wanted Snape to do as I told Liss that Professor Snape is on Dumbledore’s side and Harry’s. I also told Liss that I thought the potion book that Harry gets was probably put there on purpose for Harry, but Liss didn’t agree with that theory. I then told her that I think that Dumbledore may have helped Snape to close his mind to such a degree that Voldemort couldn’t read him and Liss could see this happening. Liss then asked me a question about Draco Malfoy as he had been made a death eater and she knew that I have read all the books about Harry Potter. And I told Liss that when Harry defeats Voldemort I think that Draco would have been very grateful and relieved as it meant that Draco was now free from Voldemort.
