Sunny weather is here
Or at least within 300 kilometres of here...
On the weekend we drove up to Sydney after John's game of soccer and stayed with a friend in their Bondi apartment (thanks Milly!). Sunday morning, we woke up to this view:
The temperature was predicted to be 29 degrees celcius that day, how badly do you think I wanted to stay there, walk down to the beach and lie in the sun for hours (Covered in sunscreen of course)? Very. Very Much.
But alas we had things to do, people to see, cars to collect... John was picking up his new car (Holden Monaro, photos to come another day) from Alexandria, and I wanted to do a quick run through Ikea in Rhodes before heading back to Canberra in time for my soccer game at 3pm. On the plus side, I had a really good game and scored a goal, my first of the season! About time, since we're 2 games out from the finals...
And on a totally unrelated note, here is a photo of a succulent plant I have not managed to kill yet! Give it time.

What a day...
It was rainy and blah when I woke up, and that's how I felt all day, rainy and blah. It seems to be just at that exact point in the year where it is basically spring, you can smell it on the air, the sun shines most days, and it's not dark by the time you get home from work... it's glorious, actually, when you realise the blossoms are starting to come out and everything smells fresh... And then you get a day like today that reminds you it is actually still cold, windy, horrible winter, and it just puts you out of sorts.
We went to my in-laws for dinner (as is usual on a Friday night, Taco night, very delicious, but no photos as it's quite a mess usually), where there are regularly fresh flowers on the table. Orchids are one of my favourites, mainly because they last for months and still look fantastic, like the day you bought them (that's value for money right there!). My mum kept the orchids from my wedding bouquet and they still looked fresh when we got back from our honeymoon, 3 weeks later.
After dinner I sat and created some jewellery for my new online store (opening soon!) while everyone else watched the cricket.. a very exciting Friday night indeed. Though I wouldn't want it any other way =)
Lovely Weather
