Here are some pictures from our Sunday. Ambrose And Capa left early morning, before the sun was up for to catch some waves. I tried sleeping in after they left but I couldn’t. I always struggle with that. sleeping longer because I know its good for me or waking up early because I dont want to waste time sleeping. Constant battle and usually waking up early wins for me. Having my coffee in a cafe that just has opened ( so not busy) with the first light of sun streaming in the windows. The smell of freshly baked croissants. Watching people as the buy their morning papers. Hearing the city slowly waking up. The traffic has not yes started so you can actually hear some birds behind all the city buzz.

I may be weird but often I find myself longing for the night to be over so I can do my morning routine.

I guess I got out of track here a little bit. Sunday! Well I could not go back to sleep after Ambrose kissed me goodbye before they left. So I got up and meditated. Then I drove to our local cafe to enjoy my coffee talk to my family. 2 hours later I met Ambrose and the Capa for breakfast. They told me all their crazy surf stories.
These stories always makes me regret the fact that I have not yet started my surfing practice. Which is really sad. I mean, I basically have a surf teacher 24/7. Oh well, nothing good comes out of regret. I just need to get my ass out into the water next time he goes in. Its that simple. Why are sometimes the simple stuff the hardest?

Anastasia ( Ambrose sister) asked on the family group chat if we all wanted to have lunch together at the new Vietnamese restaurant. It was nice because everyone could make it which is not often. Afterwards we walked to the greatest plant shop I ever seen. I drooled over this giant plant called “elephant ear” and then we drove home for an early night in out bed.

Here are another my weekend in pictures – or more accurate, here is my Saturday in pictures. Ambrose and Capa got up around 5 in the morning to surfing. It was pitch black outside, they needed to climb this steep giant hill for 20 minutes one way to get to the surf . They told me later on that they saw a enormous spider on the way down so yes, I am delighted that I did not go with them.

Instead I went to one of my favorite cafe’s The Good Bits had an almond flat white and spoke to my sister Hanie for 2 hours.
Then I met the boys at another cafe for my favorite breakfast – a Mademoiselle.

After breakfast we went snorkeling, watched more surf as you can tell from this picture and went back to our house to hang out with Leonard, Ambrose brother who came to visit .

We were getting ready to go see a soccer game – I dont even know who were playing. Manly and Eastern Suburbs? Is that what it was? Either way, I ended up not going but went out with them for a couple of drinks at the new brewery that has recently opened. Very nice vibe in there, I should have taken some more pictures today but had too much fun. Instead I can offer a selfie of me and my curly hair. That’s it – sorry.

I love this stadium. As a matter of fact I love all the stadiums I have seen in the world. The bigger the better. They have such powerful, majestic feeling to them – or is it just me ? This one is super nice because it is by the water, surrounded by palm threes. How cool is that!

That´s about it for this Saturday, so far at least. The last part of the evening yet to come. This is the cocktail I invented yesterday while we were having a board games night. Its whiskey and some fizzy raspberry drink with no sugar. That is what I had at home. And I took the bottles out now because I think I will make myself one Saturday night cocktail right now.
Ambrose and Cape will be home in a while and I think it will be cocktails and monopoly tonight as well. Love games.

Tomorrow I think we have a swim and a surf followed by breakfast. I LOVE eating breakfast out in case anyone had not noticed. Also very excited to go back into the ocean. Summer is soon over so want to use every chance I have to be in the water. In the afternoon I think we have plans for a family lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant that just opened.

Oh my God what a looong day! I was so drained and almost wanted to sit and rest on the road while walking home from the train today. That is how tired I was.
Alot of people around me have been sick so I guess it tries to sneak up on me as well. But I refuse, already planned my tomorrows grocery list which contains pills, ginger and lemon and lots of it.

Also I was complaining alot about how extremely hot it has been for months. But now that its raining and winter is slowly approaching, dreaming of being on a boat is all that is on my mind.

This picture is just a couple of weeks ago I think. Its us with Mike, Lucinda and Caz out on their boat. Such a nice day.
I remember we tried so many places for lunch but everything was open. So we ended up having pizza on the grass. Ah, beautiful boat day – please dont be over.
I’m going to move myself and my boat dreaming to bed. Its only 8pm but sitting up is starting to feel painful. That´s how I feel like now.

Sleep tight guys. xx
