Going home, Hong kong 1st

So finished nights early this morning 31st October and thought best not go to bed. As probably not enough time as need to bed at the airport for 1ish. So instead when finished work went home got changed and went for breakfast. We went to coffee club and had the usual French toast. Then home shower and fell asleep on bed for about 15mins. I then had to rethink my outfit as if wore originally outfit would be too hot as very hot. So decided on skirt,t-shirt and packed some tights as will probably need when back in UK. Bianca kindly helped me with my luggage to central station and then was only 15mins from central to airport by train.
When checked in case only weighed 13kg must be a first for me it been under weight. Luckily was allowed to take presents got mum & dad and Nanna on plane. As not sure what I would of done otherwise as wouldn't fit in case. After checked in looked round duty free as wanted new perfume but didn't have the one I wanted 'flowerbomb extreme'. Then thought best have something to eat since don't like plane food so had McDonalds. I then bought Ellie another present from o'neill a new all in one swimsuit. It was then time to wander to gate but had about half hour to wait. But at least plane got off on time and got a window seat also lots of empty seats do got 2 to myself.
Fell asleep on take-off and woke up TV not working must of been off nearly 45mins. Then choose to watch 'Hunger games' as not seen and heard good reports. It was good and appears to be the new twilight. Then time for lunch had 3 choices had pasta as soon as opened didn't like smell so didn't eat. Their was also a cake which was too sweet so had my crisps instead. I then had another sleep about 2hours when woke up watched TV. Watched 'How I met your mother' and 'Modern family' good comedy's. Was only 8hrs to Hong Kong from Sydney and had about hour at airport. One good thing was that you got free Internet so spine to Sharon on Skype whilst waiting for next flight.
Fell straight asleep on flight and woke up to meal tried it but didn't like so left it. Then watched 5 year engagement which was a romantic comedy and was very funny showers the ups and downs off maintaining a relationship over time. It was then the amazing spiderman which was good as starts from the beginning. Next was 'American reunion' which wasn't as good as other American pies but still funny. At this point thought best go to sleep but couldn't get to sleep, so decides to watch more films. So watched 'wanderlust' not the best and '21jump street' which was funny. And then TV show 'Coogar town' unfortunately never dud get back to sleep.
We then got to heathrow which had been a 13hr flight. Had to change terminal and seemed to take forever to go through customs. I thought at this rate would miss next plane as only has a hour. But was fine and even had chance to look round duty free and get present for Sharon. At least this last flight only 40minutes came round with bacon sandwich but couldn't face it.

More nights and packing

Saturday night still felt very delicate after been sea sick whale watching. Luckily it was a busy shift so didn't have time to really think about it. Had MET call not my patient but I was helping doing lots of fetching things. When finished work still had stomach ache so straight to bed after shower. Got up at 1.30 and wrapped some presents for going home. Then went to cinema with Debbie to see 'Savages' was good but abit slow to start. When got back wrapped rest of presents before I had to go to work.
Sunday night was nice shift only had 10patients and even weighed most of patients in morning. Got up at 12.30 and went to city with Debbie to get a few last minute presents. Got something for Nanna, Sharon & Ben and off course Ellie. Then took Debbie to orient bar to try kangaroo burger as not tried yet. Unfortunately it wasn't the best kangaroo was abit tough and chewy, she didn't finish. Said for her to try again as wasn't best and not to be put off by this as normally not so chewy. Booked mine and Debbie's NYE cruise cant wait should be so much fun as 6 of us far going. Bianca booked for herself and her sister. Then train back and when we got back we all went for a swim only a few lengths. Bianca did tea pasta with cream, chicken and mushrooms and Debbie had bought dessert Halloween cupcake.
Monday night started off with 6patients as four staff then had 2 admissions. Shift ok apart from patients continuously vomiting at end of shift felt nausea myself. Didn't sleep well got up at about 11.30-12 and went to Rhodes to transfer money to UK. At first Internet been silly and thought wouldn't be able to do it. As cashier said may take 24hrs but luckily it did it as won't have time tomorrow to do it. When got back went for swim with Bianca and I made tea chilli think was one of my best chilli's. Then I thought best do some packing since fly tomorrow only really taking presents. Jen then came over to say bye and Bianca walked with me to work then could walk back with Debbie.
Tuesday night was nice working with different staff but still had same patients. Also only had 7patients and was still 4 staff which was good. After work saw NUM to request New Year off for the cruise. Said that should be fine but would have to work Christmas instead. I said I fully expected that as that's what we do at home.

Whale watching

Saturday 27th, Think debbie got a shock this morning when saw Dwayne but was fine. As i think she likes taking the mickey out of him, as he is so easy. Got up 9.30 and aim was to catch train at 11.15 to city as off whale watching. As thought best do it before I go home, the best to go whale watching before end of November. Trust us to miss train at 11.15 so went for breakfast at QV cafe next to concord west station. As next train not til 11.45 so had plenty of time for food.
When got to city Dwayne left us to go home and we went to meet Sarah at Darling Harbour. Cruise at 13hrs and was two whale watching cruises ours was smaller boat. For the 1st hour didn't see any whales supposed to look for squirting water. At this point the water was starting to get abit rough. I foolish went to toilet which wasn't a good idea as after felt sea sick and was. Doesn't help as the toilet so small and dark so worst place to be when rough. So I didn't ended up going back upstairs sat downstairs in closed area. Next Sarah came down as not feeling good and I went to toilet when came out Debbie been sea sick aswell. Never been so glad to hear when said turning back. I closed eyes and felt slightly better when got back but stomach sore. Bianca was the only one out of the four of us who wasn't ill, must have cast iron stomach. So I never saw whales only saw the inside off a paper bag. Also I thought I would of been fine since used to work on cruise ship.
After we got off we all felt quite delicate apart from Bianca aim was to go for food but didn't feel up to it. So instead we looked round harbourside and I bought the rest off Rachel's Christmas presents. The girls all bought havaianas as never had before and I recommended them. When I got back home still felt quite delicate and was tempted not to go to work. But then had some toast and felt a little better so went to do night shift.

Work and IVY night out

Thursday 25th October didn't sleep well again waking up every few hours got up 9.30. Good job on late went to gym for about half an hour. Then I met Jen for free coffee at Ikea, free as have ikea card. I then went shopping bought bath mat, towel from ikea and a dress for Ellie for Christmas. It was then home and go to work as on late which was quite busy had one having chemo. I also managed to swap shifts on friday so now on early instead of late. It was also quite upsetting as found out one of our long standing patients not long to live. Was first time walked hone after late and was fine.
Friday on early and was nice at first then at 10.30 had MET call as patient unresponsive and low blood pressure. So didn't go to break til 11.15 and needed it by then. Then the patient became confused and trying to self discharge. It was also Ann's last day so had some nibbles for her later. Will definitely miss working with her as she made me feel welcome and was funny at same time. After work went to Rhodes to get tea pizza and Bianca had hair cut. Whilst Bianca met Jen for coffee again at ikea.
So glad going our tonight as definitely need a drink. Our aim was to go to the sky tower first but couldn't get in as got there 22.10. Won't let you in after 22hrs, at least we know for next time to be there earlier. So went to IVY cost £20 to get in has 4 levels with pool on 4th floor. The pool looked very inviting to get into but we all resisted. Dwayne was going to come and meet but IVY too posh for him. As the IVY is a sophisticated playground for grown ups and is purpose built to entertain. Is plenty of space for dancing the night away,chatting or lounging. Even got drinks bought for us which can't be bad and was good cocktails. Also the Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke was supposedly there. We even got to have a little dance which was good at end if night lost Bianca. As aim to catch train home as Jen didn't want late night but missed it. So we needed up getting the bus home at about 1.30 and Dwayne just made it on time on the bus. He certainly made a dramatic entrance got to bus shouted 'Jo' and luckily I was sat near front so heard him. Unfortunately Bianca didn't make the bus so said would catch a taxi instead. Bus journey didn't seem as long and was only about 10-15 min walk from bus stop to house. Both Jen and Dwayne stayed over and Debbie on nights again.

Bondi and parking ticket

Wednesday 24th October didn't sleep well woke up 4, 6.30 and then got up at 7.30. Went for breakfast with Debbie and Bianca when Debbie finished her night shift. Went to coffee club again and had French toast, Bianca had for 1st time and liked. Then back home me and Bianca went to pool whilst Debbie went to bed. We 10 laps which was freezing yet again, but not to bad when moving. When Bianca went to get changed was sunbathing topless and got told to cover up, how funny!! Not sure who told me off and Bianca found it so funny and trust me..
When Jen finished work came and had made lunch beef and lentil curry, very good. Then time to go to Bondi beach for more sunbathing and trust us to just miss train. As nearly at train station and just pulling away, so Jen said would drive. Got a good parking spot so we thought plenty others parked there so must be ok. At beach for about an hour wasn't that busy and was a nice breeze. Then went to McDonalds for a sundae since so nice. When got back to car had a parking fine $232, how ridiculous. Took picture of sign as wasn't sure if right and Bianca tried phoning put no answer. Just can't believe how much but supposedly Bondi known for it. At night met Ann (workmate) who leaving on Friday for tea at Rhodes went to navigator. First time ate there and was good will go again has bruschetta to share. Then I had risotto and crumble but the crumble was missing the custard came with ice-cream.

Sort Internet and shopping

Tuesday 23rd October woke up early so me and Debbie went to go for swim. But was cleaning pool so had to go back after 30mins only did 10 lengths. Felt a lot better even after doing even if the pool was freezing yet again, hopefully be warmer in summer. Then went to Rhodes to set up direct debit for rent and sort Internet. But I want entirely sure he was telling us the truth about internet so went to city. Before going got Ellie new clothes for Xmas at Rhodes.
In city looked round shops first and got part of Rachel's Xmas present, will get rest at weekend Debbie also got a few presents aswell, it was then time to go to apple store. To eye up the new iPhone 5 and the laptops, which do need to buy at some point. It was then to telstra shop to sort internet but there system down so couldn't check our credit rating. But think found internet just need to wait to hear back tomorrow. After that Debbie got train back to have rest before night shift whilst I met Mona from work.
Met Mona at Apple store as she was having issues with phone so wanted to see if could help. Had to make appointment so went to look round Zara first was some nice things but didn't buy. When went back to Apple couldn't sort out phone for her since it want back-up, so off back tomorrow. We then went to the Duty free shop near rocks so Mona could get cosmetics. As when going home if show ticket and passport get things at duty free price and just hand receipt in at airport. Was a few things tempted to buy but don't think much cheaper than England. Mona bought loads think she must of spent over $700. Then after that went for cake and coffee at QVB building. Don't know where the time went as didn't get home til gone 8.30.

Work again

Felt a little tired this morning Sunday 21st October but didn't get in til 1 last night then up at 5.30 for work. Also I heard the others coming in at about 4.30. Luckily work was ok had a nice shift at least that one good thing about working weekend is quieter. When got home the girls we're sat in watching TV as not as sunny today. On about getting take-away but speaking to mum & dad on Skype. So I got something to eat at Rhodes unfortunately the connection on Skype not good. I think I must of lost video connection about twice but at least I could hear them.
On Monday on another early which was nice til about 3ish. But they had staff meeting and some of morning staff went in and seemed to go on forever. So for about 30 minutes was abit maniac as didn't seem to be many staff on ward. After work collected my bag from mailing office which had ordered on eBay. Was lovely but think wish the handle had been abit longer but am sure will be fine.
After work sat in front of TV whist waiting for Jen to finish to go to gym. I then decided whilst waiting would go for run only did 1.05 miles but pace under 9, very good. Jen then arrived but ended up going to Rhodes to meet others. So went to gym on own went on cross-trainer, rower, bike and sit-ups. On bike did fitness test and said elite not sure really believe it. Bianca did tea sausages in homemade onion gravy with mash and peas. Which has to be one of my all time favorite meals..

Work and just for laughs

Saturday 20th October and on early this morning, first early since moved in. So not sure what time to get up got up at 5.30 but did not sleep well last night. I don't think I got to sleep til about midnight then woke up about 2ish and went back to sleep. I left house at 5.20 and only took me about 20minutes to walk there which wasn't bad. Work was nice not to hectic was like how a Saturday should be. When finished work was so nice hoping to go jump in pool. But everyone else already in as had plenty sun and had a few red patches especially Sarah and Debbie.
It was then time to start thinking of getting ready to go out. Luckily I knew what I was wearing my new electric blue dress from Topshop. I wanted to curl my hair but having issues doing so Bianca kindly did it for me. She also did Debbie's make-up could see her as a beautician. Jen then arrived back and we had fish finger sandwiches as only me and Bianca had. There were good and definitely better with ketchup than mayonnaise. Jen not coming out as had late one last night it was then time for us to catch train.
Got to city after 8 Bianca, Debbie and Sarah all went to rozelle as didn't want Sarah going on own. I then went to circular quay to wait for Nat as running late just for a change, only had to wait 10mins. We then went to opera bar for drink was very busy and had live music on was nice atmosphere. Unfortunately by this time most of curls dropped out, so of used more hairspray and not clean hair, he he. It was then to opera house to go see just for laughs hosted by drew Carey. Had drink before and went outside to take picture and was fireworks which was good. I quickly drank wine as last time not allowed to take it but did this time. Drew Carey opened show and was quite but seemed to swear abit. Next was host from Project show Charlie Pickering who was good. Was Dave Gorman is an English comedian who tells stories of extreme adventures. There was 5 comedians mot including Drew Carey who were all good but last one maybe a little crude in places. Only thing is half way through show felt so tired could easily of fallen asleep. Would definitely go again and nice to have a box seat and sat at front very good view. Just a shame afterwards couldn't go out as on another early tomorrow. At moment feels like I always miss out on nights out but am sure will be plenty more to come. Got train back and got in just before 1 felt a lot safer walking from concord station to home. Than Rhodes to hospital accommodation as more lights and not as far.

Pool, nights and meet old friends

Monday 15th- Friday 19th October was nice sunny day in Monday shame in late. Before work went to Rhodes to get more coat hangers and finishing touches for Mum & Dad and Nanna's present. Had to walk past the pool and it looked so inviting but not enough time before work. At work was very busy had 3 blood transfusions and was team leader.
On Tuesday up early so could speak to Mum & Dad at 8ish which is 10pm their time. Felt strange speaking at the time as so used to speaking at night my time. But was nice for a change and mum at last got wedding outfit which looked very nice. Afterwards popped to coles to get Heinz ketchup and some things for night shift. Then back home and change into bikini to go lie round pool was 32degrees not bad for spring. It was very quiet round pool a few people coming to go pool, I went in pool twice and very cold. At about 3.30/4 started to get busy with kids so left and when Debbie got home went to gym. Bianca cooked tea spaghetti bolognese and invited her work
friend ji-sun. Then I had to go do a night shift which was ok but had munches. It didn't help when we were talking about food seemed to eat more. At end of shift was do tired and glad to get to bed.
Didn't have to bad asleep woke up at 2 had lunch then went to pool again. Was only one other person there and stayed til about 5.30. Then when got back went for run round the block only did 1.06 miles. Debbie cooking tea tonight had chicken schnitzel, garlic potatoes and rocky road slice very good. Then is my turn to cook tea on Friday going to do Thai green curry. My night shift was very quiet even had time to read some of my book, which makes a change. I even specialized a patient for a hour which was ok. In the morning had a few patients who had temperatures do had to get doctor to do blood cultures. When got home didn't feel tired so read book first and got to sleep 9ish.
I then woke up at about 10.30 on Thursday so not much sleep, so will probably feel tired later. Went for swims about 1 did 20 laps was only person at pool. So glad we now have a pool even if it is freezing cold at first is fine once moving. I then went to Rhodes to get food for tea tomorrow night. At night met Katrina who I used to rep with in Andorra is now a police officer. We went to the food festival at Hyde park did Asian delights, organic food and others on til end of October. It had live music on and pretty fairy lights even had Chinese lion dance. Her friend Edel also came just moved from
Ireland to Sydney. By end of night got cold so didn't have Ice-cream but had unusual flavors. Edel had passion fruit and chilli said was nice had sweetness then a slight kick aswell. Wasn't to late a night think got in about 10.30.
On Friday on a study day but went for a run before to go to mailing office to collect my parcel. But unfortunately ran all that way and the office was shut but did run 2.51 miles. I then got train to Newtown looked round shops first had some nice quirky things. Study day at RPA on gynecological oncology didn't start til 12.30 and got lunch. Was 2 otter work colleagues there, course was ok some interesting some not so. Didn't get home til 6ish then cooked tea Thai green chicken curry, think everyone liked. Sarah also came for tea and then went to cinema to see Taken2 was good. But supposedly not as good as 1st one but not sure if actually seen.

Gym, Rocks and Cirque de soleil

Sunday 14th October and woke up at 7 so we decided to go to Gym since we were all up and left Nat in bed. The gym only small but does the job and included in rent was about 3 other people there. I went on treadmill, cross trainer, rower, did some weights and sit-ups. Think must of been there about 40mins when got back Nat only just getting up.
Me and Debbie the decided to head into the city first stop Pancake on the Rocks for lunch. As Debbie not been before think she liked and will be off back. But we both couldn't manage all off out pancakes but did have wedges to start with. Mine was nice had it banana, walnut and butterscotch sauce but could of done with more sauce. Then time to look round rocks and get last few presents. I got mum and dad and Nanna's present which are both very similar just hope there like. Also got Nat and Ruth there birthday presents. We tried the banana bread again and couldn't resist had to buy some. It was then to circular quay as get more teddies as Debbie wanted some this time. It was then time to heard back to central to meet Hisako to go see Cirque de Soleil. Picked up leaflet for surf camp weekend which sounds fun think will have to do after Christmas.
We had to get bus from Central to Moore park. As soon as you get off bus and see the big top in yellow and blue it looks amazing. Cirque du Soleil is a dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment. The one we saw at Sydney is OVO which presents a lavish look at the world of insects, which makes your imagination work. OVO is an astonishing showcase of superhuman feats of strength, balance and contortion. I really enjoyed was funny, entertaining and had you on the edge of your seat throughout would definitely see again. My favourite was the jumping crickets was just unbelievable. Then it was back home not before stopping at Rhodes first to do shopping and took trolley to entrance of liberty grove. At least then it saved us carrying it so far and lots of other people do as few trolleys there.

Surfing manly

Today Saturday 13th October off for our first surfing lesson at Manly. Got up at 8.30 and had such a good sleep bed so comfy. Apart from got woken up at 2 by Dwayne phoning but didn't answer it as wasn't sure if really ringing. Once everyone sorted got train to city and realized concord west now closer than rhodes for us so only 10min walk. But could only get train to central as doing track work then got bus to circular quays. Sarah was going to come and watch us surf but since only told her train that heading was too short notice. It was then ferry to Manly and luckily it was a nice day not raining like yesterday. Once at manly first stop food went to brighton hotel on corso. We then had a quick look round the market and I got two presents for my friends.
It was then time to head to our 2pm surf lesson not really sure what to expect. First thing to sign in then put our wetsuit on which isn't that easy. Then we went back out and got a manly t-shirt to put over wetsuit so will be able to see us better. Couldn't believe how many people there must off been over 30. It was then time to do our warm up and we spilt into 2groups people who had surfed and others who hadn't. Obviously us three were all in the beginner class and was about 20 in our group. Once spilt into our groups was time to learn how to stand up on the board. Was told my board wasn't right for me so would change once in water. Then was time to go in the water and try and stand up on our boards. But their was only 3 instructors which wasn't enough for all of us so was waiting for them to assist. One was very good and I nearly stood on my board as you can see from pictures. But then I fell in the water I supposedly took my hands off board too soon. Trust me think I did that about twice but was so much fun and never got swapped board. So I blame the board think it was too big for me. Nat unfortuantly got caught in a rip for a bit and couldn't get out. We all enjoyed and think we will definitely be doing again. I can't believe we were only in the water a hour, felt so much longer. We were so lucky to have our own personal photograph in Debbie in the beach. After showering realised I had broke my big toe nail whilst surfing but was good and left it only.
Afterwards it was time to go get Ben and Jerry ice-cream but learnt from my mistake last time and only got one scoop. I went for I have Chunky Monkey as I have always wanted to try. Overall, Ben & Jerry's "Chunky Monkey" ice cream lived up to its reputation as the fourth-best selling flavor. The ice cream had a great taste of banana, walnuts and chocolate chunks. Nat didn't want ice-cream so went to hungry jacks and realised lost purse. Asked if had which we didn't luckily someone handed it in where we ate. A quick look round shop and drinks before catching ferry back. Our aim was to go out tonight since all off on a Saturday a novelty. But we all felt too tired so went to Rhodes got DVD 50/50 and had take-away. Had Thai this time and wasn't best definitely won't be getting from there again so tore up menu. The film was good was inspired by a true story, a comedy centered on a 27-year-old guy who learns of his cancer diagnosis, and his subsequent struggle to beat the disease.

Work and moving

Tuesday 9th October and went for run first thing did 1.51 miles but had breakfast first probably not best idea. Then went to sign contract for new place with Debbie and let me show Debbie the house. Which was good since Debbie not seen and luckily she liked, which is good since move in Friday. On late at work had staff meeting which seemed to take forever. Shift ok was abit bitty at first but then was nice had lots of staff.
On Wednesday went for a run managed 1.51 miles. Then decided best do some packing and can't believe how much stuff I have. Work not too bad had two patients with blood products. But lots of staff at first too many staff for all the jobs.
Early Thursday work ok. Then afterwards walked to Rhodes with Debbie but power down so decided to walk to Woolworth's. Didn't realize how far it was must of taken us about 40minutes. Passed so many take-away places on route and got the menus. Still can't believe is last night in staff accommodation tonight and how much stuff I have.
On early which was a shame since moving in day and raining. Tried to put me on B-side but got to stay on A-side, which was good but work more busy than yesterday. After work moving too new place do exciting luckily Bianca managed to get everything moved. So when finished not much to move just groceries, good job Bianca got to borrow friends car. Went to Rhodes after seeing house again to get a few essential things like pillows, duvet, towel and toilet roll etc. But lost track of time in Ikea then had to rush to pick up TV, then went to 1st choice to get alcohol. Nat then arrived but not enough room in car so I walked back with her took 15minutes. Then it was time to unpack and set TV up but no aerial so not working luckily had dvd's. Had take-away pizza as couldn't be bothered cooking tonight and was getting late, also lots of munches as fat Friday.

Breakfast out, TV and drinks!!

Monday 8th October day off do decided to have breakfast out with Debbie. Went to coffee club at Rhodes and had French toast with maple syrup. I can't actually remember the last time I had French toast was good nice thick bread. Then went to look at TV's as will need one when we eventually move into new place. Found a good offer at Bing lee so whilst waiting for Bianca to text did some food shopping, just essentials. Then we went to buy TV, dvd player and cable only $160 each and will pick up Friday. Had look at baby clothes for Ellie and lots of nice ones. Looked in target for Hoover only $70 which isn't bad as we will need one. It was then time forDebbie to go to work so I went to City.
Once in city first stop Topshop as only opened at weekend and wanted to see if similar price to UK. Couldn't believe how big it was had 4floors and most were women only one for men. Was still can't busy considering a Monday had to queue to try on clothes. Ended up buying a electric blue dress which was very reasonable only $50. Was a skirt I quite liked but was more expensive than dress so not worth it. I then went to Roxy to look for any swimsuits had none in Ellie's size. But is shop in Manly so can look there on Saturday as also had nice summer dress for me. But when texted Sharon said wants all in one swimsuit, which didn't have..
At night off to meet Haidee who I met on my training course at RPA in Newtown. Met at her flat which I found good job had google map on phone. Then to decide where to eat as is about 11different types of food in Newtown. Decided to go to African restaurant as never had before was currys. The food was good, the service friendly and helpful and the prices were affordable. Particular highlights were the African flat bread ($2), which resembles a French crepe but appears to be made from different ingredients. The main courses were good shared two different ones a lamb and tuna one and a bottle of wine. Then went for a drink in the bar was very quiet but I suppose it was a Monday. It was nice to have a good catch and get to know Haidee better didn't get in til 12.30.

Fourteenth week of work

So fourteenth week of work 3rd-7th October, can't believe been working here that long. Before work on Wednesday went to Rhodes park first to catch a few rays. On late shift and was team leader on my side only had 12patients between two of us. Also found out today that we have definitely got house, how exciting..
On Thursday went for run 1.51 but very hot 27degrees. Saw Tess (staff accommodation) about moving out on 13th November was fine and gave me new bill. Then went to Rhodes to bank to transfer money to Debbie for new place as wouldn't let me do on phone. Was easy to sort had just not been set up to transfer to other banks. At work had person leaving for maternity so lots of food. Team leader again and nice again as had plenty of staff and only 24patients. Not busy had one patient having blood and got tongue tired when handing over.
On Friday woke up early with cramp in leg but got back to sleep. On late again so went to Ikea and so much wanted to buy, but will wait til I move in. Before work met Hisako for coffee and catch up, had craving for banana bread which was good. At work had in-service where got food which is always good. Work nice again and was team leader again.
On Saturday on early and had to change to A side which was still nice and I wasn't team leader. At night aim to go to pancake on the rocks and see fireworks at darling harbour. Got to pancake on the rocks and queue so long, so decided to long somewhere else. By the time walked through harbourside was raining, not sure where that came from. Ended up going to Mad Mex as never been and supposed to be good is fresh Mexican grill. I had soft taco was good busy but very messy and sol to drink which had to drink in restaurant. So when we heard fireworks going off couldn't really see and couldn't move since had sol. I then fancied something sweet but pancake on rocks still busy found crepe place in food court but just shutting. So went to San churro and had sharing platter between 4 of us. Me and Jen then got train back as both at work in morning, whilst Debbie and Bianca went out. Set two alarm once in as Daylight saving do clicks go forward and unsure if iPhone does automatically.
But luckily in the morning my iPhone Cleve and did automatically. At work was still on A-team and my team leader ended up going home as not well. The cleaner bought in breakfast for everyone from hungry jacks so had harsh brown, very kind. Think he does it must weekend also got breakfast nap but didn't fancy. I ended up having to handing over which was ok since didn't know this side aswell. After work went for a run did 2.14 miles en went to Rhodes later to speak home. Was nice spoke for nearly an hour and not spoke to dad for nearly 2weeks. Also Nanna a lot better now which is good and hopefully home next week.

Beach and Bose Speakers

Tuesday 2nd October and was abit cloudy at first so went for a run only did 1.61 miles. Then decided would go into the city first then weather said was warmer in Bondi. So I got bus to Bondi beach luckily I had packed my bikini, shorts and towel. As since when I left I wore my maxi dress as wasn't sure in weather. Once at Bondi changed into bikini and shorts then got fruit salad which ate on grass. Then I went to lay on the beach and must of been their nearly 2hours was very nice. Just think this is only spring imagine what it will be like come summer.
I then got the bus back to city not before changing back into maxi dress. Once in city was abit chilly so glad I had bought my denim jacket with me aswell. I then went to the Bose shop to eye up speakers again and had cheaper ones for $399. So decided been in about it for a while so I would treat myself any buy them. I then spoke to Dwayne and found he was in Bondi same time as me but never saw each other, sounds about right. So got the train back to rhodes and had a strange bloke sat next to me on train. Who wanted to take me out for coffee and kept repeating himself. A young lad opposite was concerned for my safety so started speaking to him and got off same stop as me. As was worried in case the bloke got off same stop as me, how sweet there is some nice people.
Texted home and found out Nanna still in hospital and still not sure what wrong. Think she might have concussion from been hit on head by my uncle by accident. As when mum went to see her she was still confused and away with the fairies. She has had CT scan which didn't show anything and for MRI tomorrow, then will hopefully know what's wrong, fingers crossed..

Lazy day and Madame butterfly

Monday 1st october and day off so what to do with myself. Decided to have a lie in as cant remember the last one I actually had. I woke up at 7 but luckily could get back to sleep and got up at 9.30. Wasn't really sure what to do today but was a nice day, finally got motivated about 11ish. Went and laid in Rhodes park to read my kindle was quite busy as a public holiday. Think I must of been there about 2hours definitely caught sun on shoulders. Then I went to Rhodes as had to go grocery shopping and bought 2 dresses $20 for both, bargain.
At night off to Sydney Opera House to see Madame Butterfly with Bianca. So obvisiously we had to get dressed up so off course we wore dresses. Wasn't sure how dressed up people would be for the Opera house but most women wearing dresses, so good choice. When inside the Sydney Opera house would think it was half finished as roof stone. Both me and bianca never seen opera before so not sure what to expect. Our seats were quiet high up but still got good view of stage. One thing I was glad about was that it had subtitles otherwise not sure I would of understood. Also you could got a breakdown of the story of the opera.
So basically Madame Butterfly about a 15 year geisha (madame butterfly)who marries a lieutenant and renounces her ancestors religion. After 3years she awaits her husbands return who returns married to an American woman. The lieutenant's wife offers to adopt the child. When she realises she bids farewell to her son and stabs herself. So not a very cheerful story but don't think opera's are. But was very good would definitely see another one.
When got home found out my Nanna had been taken into hospital as confused. Which us not like my Nanna at all just hope she is alright and feels so hard when out their. I needed someone talk to so Dwayne phoned and made me feel abit better. But found out he had lost his job due to having a criminal record, not good. Said we might meet up tomorrow but we will see.
