If you don't hear from me anymore...

...it's because I've died of boredom. Behavioural finance boredom. Soo looking forward to dinner and drinks at the local in a couple of hours.

Stormy morning

I'm on the ferry to the city and the surf is huge. This will be fun...

It's so grey and foggy that I can't even see out the window. So I'll just show you a photo of last night's dinner instead.



Fig, prosciutto, bocconcini and basil salad. Think it's a jamie Oliver recipe. Anyway, it's to die for. You know I've told you I get addicted to food right? Like Korean BBQ, sushi and blueberries etc. My new addiction - FIGS. OMG how good are figs. Is it possible to have a fig tree on the balcony?

Rainy days

Rain, rain, rain! It's been raining all day. I had to buy an umbrella on the way to work. I don't know how many times I have done that. Always from the same convenience store in circular quay. They must have made a fortune out if me. But we still don't have a single umbrella at home. Maybe if I buy a really expensive umbrella I won't keep losing it. Is that logical? Or just another excuse to go shopping?I'm not sure but I will give it a go.

I'm on the ferry on my way home now. Manly fast ferry has lost the tender to be the government appointed fast ferry service for Manly but has decided to stay in business and try to compete with the new fast ferry service. I wonder if all the promotions and corny letters they have been bombarding their customers with in the last couple of months will pay off? I think I will stay loyal. At least for a while. I mean, they sell wine and beer and let you watch tv ;).

Now I'm almost in Manly and about to meet up with B for a drink at four pines!

Something about the weather and all the good weather coming to an end

If you think the title for this post is a bit strange it's because I asked Brett to come up with a title and promised I would use it whatever it was. He clearly didn't put too much effort into it.

But it's true that all the good weather is coming to an end. Just hope it will stay nice for our camping trip over Easter!

We had sushi and sashimi for lunch today at kamakoochi and went for a long harbour walk afterwards.









Manly is unreal this time of the year. Almost no tourists and awesome weather. Def my favourite place in Sydney!

Lazy lovely Saturday

Had a fabulous day in Manly today with ML. We did everything I predicted we would do last night. That is, we had breakfast at bench, went shopping for a bikini for ML, went snorkling and had coffee at Barefoot. I also bought some new Havianas.




We also had takeaway pad thai in the sun at the wharf. Now I'm at home with a sore throat.. But I refuse to get sick so I'm going to have lots garlic and vitamin C for dinner tonight!

Going home!

Met up with ML after shopping with LMC. We had sushi at our fav sushi joint and then wine at bambini. Then ML decided to come to Manly with me. It's the first time a friend has decided to go from the city to manly to hang out with me AT NIGHT in five years. A historic day!! Tomorrow we're having breakky at the beach and then snorkling. ML's going to buy a new bikini first. Unless she wants to go skinny dipping that is. Then we're going to have another coffee. Or maybe two...

I heart autumn in Sydney

Another gorgeous autumn day. I've got the day off and going shopping in Paddington with LMC. Is there a more relaxing way to get to the city than by ferry? I don't think so.

Absolute FAIL

Finally at home on the couch with a cup of tea. I'm trying to stream episode three of Swedish Hollywood wives but the TV 3 website is down. Why can't things just work the way they are supposed to? Now I have to stream channel 5 shows instead. Not happy.

Had a uni assignment due today where the task was to make an Absolut Vodka ad that would continue their global marketing campaign. The winner, voted by the class, got a bottle of Absolut!You could submit as many ads as you wanted so I made two (I photo shopped two images that I found on the web)  - one Absolut ad and one counter ad. Not that I'm against drinking in any way - just because I had a good idea :)

Once upon a time

When we visited Sweden a little while ago I looked through an old photo album from my trip to South America in 2003.

It was strange to see photos of people that I share so many amazing memories with but I can't even remember the names of anymore. It also made me wonder what all those people are doing today.

That Dutch guy we travelled with from Ecuador to Peru who helped me get back my stolen backpack. The British guy in Cusco who liked the Sophie Zelmani album my travel partner C played. Those two American brothers who ate our salty lollies and were totally disgusted. The Canadian girl who introduced me to surfing. The people we spent four amazing days on the Inca trail with. All those people that we had so much fun with for such a short period of time. I'm trying really hard to remember their names. But I can't!

I would love to know what they are doing today. Wish I had kept all those email adresses. But in reality I probably wouldn't get in touch even if I had.

Then I realised that B could have been on that list. The cute Australian with the crazy beard and gorgeous smile who patiently explained all the English words I didn't understand in the book I was reading. And who claimed he was a pilot. Crazy talk.

B could have been one of those people whose name I now have forgotten and only have a vague memory of spending a few days with in Peru seven years ago.

But he's not.

Somehow we managed to avoid becoming short stories and vague memories of each others lives. We stayed in touch. And in love.

In 6 months time we will get married. It will be the best day of my life.

Blueberries

PB has made me addicted to blueberries. She bought 3 boxes when we went camping and I couldn't stop eating them.



All I could think of this morning when I woke up was blueberries. And now I'm having blueberries and coffee from Max Brenner for lunch.
