Lazy Sunday

OK I think I am going to stick with this layout. Just going to incorporate a picture in the header. 

So it is 3 pm and I have done nothing today. We are trying to clean the house now and then catching up with Jompa at some stage. It is my nameday today btw. Happy nameday to me! 

OMG

OMG the frustration! I'm trying to change the look of my blog. It's extremely frustrating. But I think I'm on to something good. Just bear with me...

Spit to Manly

Another fabulous Saturday in Sydney and B and I went for a long walk from the Spit to Manly. We always do this walk on a slightly too hot day, but at least we waited until the afternoon this time.

Just as you think you are almost in Manly, the track just keeps going and going. But it is a beautiful walk though.

Almost there! Umm.. actually two hours away.

Before we went home I had a swim at Fairlight beach. The water temperature was perfect. Going back for a snorkel tomorrow.

No we're back home, chilling on the couch and I'm totally spent.

And oh, we went to Gazebo in Manly last night. Loooove it. Awesome food and nice atmosphere. I'm too exhausted to write anything else right now. Time for a snooze before dinner.

Gazebo, Thai and gossip

Back at Gazebo last night after work with a big group of friends. I really like it there, it's got such a nice feel to it. LMC's super cute flat mates were there, and even though I've met R and C plenty of times she still introduced me to them. And then she was surprised when we told her we had met. Hahaha, she's so funny.

After a couple of glasses of wine LMC, PB and I went to some Thai joint on Crown st that I can't remember the name of, but it was something ingenious like most Thai restaurants - like "Thaitanic" or "Thairiffic". You get the point. Good food but it just wasn't Spice I am. Afterwards LMC and I ended up at Gloria Jeans!? and were chatting about everything and nothing for a few hours until I had to leave to catch my ferry. But since two buses refused to stop for me I missed the ferry and ended up going back to the 'funhouse' with LMC and we kept gossiping for another couple of hours. I hadn't seen her for ages since I've been to Singapore and Sweden so we really had a lot of catching up to do. I felt so guilty about leaving the cat alone another night this week though. She was purring like crazy when I got home - but at least she had plenty of food and water.

So, I just realised that it's Mardi Gras this weekend. B and I were planning on having our valentines day/anniversary dinner in the city Saturday night but I guess we can forget about that now. So where to go instead? Garfish? We always end up there. I want to try something different. I guess the new Gazebo will be packed on a Saturday night too. fan. I'll have to discuss it with my jetsetting fiance when he gets back from his water skiing trip tonight.

Vino and old friends

Wohoo! I've slept all night. My jet lag is pretty much defeated. 

Monday night after work I met up with ML and an old friend from Sweden who's visiting Sydney for a couple of days. We went to Gazebo and had far too many bottles of wine and some yummy mussels. Since I missed my last ferry I ended up staying at Lemona's house. But instead of going to bed around 1am when we got home we thought it was a great idea to have another bottle of wine on the balcony. It was hard getting out of bed the next morning. Very hard. But how often do I get to catch up with friends from Sweden? Like never.. So it was worth it!

    

My Sunday

Yesterday was such an amazing day. I was woken up by Brett and Shirin at midday. They thought it was about time I woke up. Then we went to Bench for brunch, and I had the most deliscious sandwich with rare roast beef and aioli. Brett had a sausage.

Then we went for a long walk to Shelley beach and got so inspired by all the people snorkling so we decided to go home and get our snorkling gear. Then we went back to shelley again.

The visibility was awful but I still saw heaps of fish. A big parrot fish, a groper and a bunch of tiny fish that looked like black and white Nemos. I didn't get to do the shark sign though. Disappointing. No, actually I'm pretty happy I didn't see any sharks since I probably would have freaked out. But it would have been fun to do the shark sign.

The best thing about the snorkling was, however, the water temp. It must have been 24 degrees. I LOVE the end of summer. I usually don't go swimming in Sydney (even though I live at the beach) since I can't stand the cold water. But now I will go for a swim everyday after work for the next month or so.

After our snorkling mission we went to Miss Lemona and Poker hero's for dinner. They had cooked Indian. Yum! We spent all night drinking beer and playing with a new iPhone app. It was hilarious.

Then we went home and had another drink on the balcony.

I love summer!

I hate being jetlagged!!!

I'm wide awake. And totally bored. Even Shirin is asleep. Well, she probably sleeps 20 hours a day so it's not really that surprising. But still. I must have read every single article in Smh, Dn and Aftonbladet. What makes it even more frustrating is that Brett is sleeping so peacefully beside me. Did I mention that I hate being jetlagged. I. Hate. Being. Jetlagged.

Must stay awake...

I'm struggling so much right now. Struggling to stay awake. Got home last night at 10 pm after getting the cat from ML and PH. She seemed pretty happy to see us but was crying all the way home in the car. She even put her little paws through the cage door and looked so sad that it broke my heart.

I slept all the way from Singapore to Sydney and didn't think I would sleep at all last night, but I slept for 11 hours! And now I just want to sleep mooore. So hard. If we're still awake tonight we're going out for dinner with some friends, which would be great since I haven't seen them for ages.

 Right now all I can manage to do is to sit on the couch and make Spotify playlists and read trashy Swedish newspapers. Just read that a Swedish artist, Carola, visited Haiti and a child that she's sponsoring and brought him a Hugo Boss fragrance as a present. Hahaha what was she thinking?? He doesn't have any food or money and couldn't afford to stay in school but now he's got a $100 Hugo Boss fragrance. Yay!

Almost home..

At Starbucks at Changi Airport. So close now. I'm ridiculously tired and can't wait to snuggle up in my skybed and sleep all the way to Sydney..

See you soon!

Summer style
