Sydney so far.

Good morning everybody! Sorry for being so absent over the last few weeks; I've been trying to settle into this new life in Sydney and it's taking me so much longer than I thought it would to get myself organised {Seriously this moving thing is hard stuff! I never realised how many things I took for granted living at home}. However I have taken a few little breaks for myself to start exploring this gorgeous new city I call home! 

 

Last week we took a trip to Bondi beach; famous for it's turquoise waters, half naked people and crazy waves. It was the perfect day to spend getting sand between our toes and spending far to long dunking under waves {although on my part there was no water frolicking- there may be a slight seaweed phobia going on over here!} Still, spending a day under the glorious sun reading a good book and being with friends- what more could you want from summer!

So I've picked up another resolution for this year. I'm going to have something to be happy about every single day. You know how some days it seems as if nothings going right and there isn't a thing in the world that can make you happy, just go out of your way to plan something to get your mind off the things that aren't going so great. Even if it as simple as making a cup of tea and take half an hour to yourself or planning to meet a friend after work for drinks, it doesn't seem like much but it's actually worked! 

Continuing on with New years Resolutions so far I've kept to half of them {two out of four 'aint bad} In fact I've gone so well with the reading resolution that I think that counts for the bad blogging and lack of french speaking. Plus I've still got ten months to woo the sexy french men ;). I think I'm up to seven books so far; I probably only read that many in the last two years! But having so much free time has opened up a window to the books - even if they are falling apart and I have to read them page by page and sort them into separate piles. I'm sure the people who were watching me thought I was crazy. My favourite book so far has been Enlightenment for Beginners, I won't go into to much detail just incase you were planning on reading it- Which, even though I'm only half way through it, totally recommend picking it up! Its hilarious, heartfelt and has made me seriously consider taking up yoga. {If anyone knows any good yoga studios in Sydney let me know!} 

And that's been my life in Sydney so far, although I didn't snap any photos of the bazillion packing boxes and my having to take makeup on the bedroom floor. Not such a glamorous life!!
