This weekend has been so nice. Both Saturday and today – Sunday. It has been spent by the beach – with refreshing winter swims, yummy breakfast by the ocean and at local markets.
Lets just start with the Sunday at the local markets.

This is how it looked today at beautiful Avoca local markets. Cant believe we never been to this part of Avoca, we are here all the time, but at the beach.

How cozy does this scene look . Just an old man having his sandwich by the water, I tried all day to get his spot but after he left everyone else seem to have the same idea.

We met up with Ambrose cousin Wade, his wife Jackie and their little son River.  We strolled around the market and tried out the different food stalls. We shared haloumi fries, Gozlem and mango smoothies. It was a lot if yummy things to choose from.

I really don’t like a lot of the “hippie” stuff they often sell at local markets. Don´t get me wrong, I like looking at it but it’s just not really my preferred decor for my house.

And And this is how I ended my day. A jog by the ocean and then when I worked up a sweat I run into the ocean. Nothing like winter swims.

Now its time for chicken coconut laksa and the second season of 13 Reasons Why in front of the fireplace.

Happy Sunday everybody! xx

With Julie – my Danish friend from back in the days in Barcelona and University. Such great memories

Today I started my day with a dentist appointment. Not the best way to start your day but it had to be done. I walked in with confidence, I had only a check and a clean booked in. Did not think I needed anything else, my teeth are fine. Well, I was totally wrong. Instead I had a filling done and booked in again for next week. I don’t like the dentist, expensive and painful, of course nobody like going there!

After that I went straight into Surry Hills and spent rest of the day volunteering at Life Changing Experience Organization.
All day I’ve felt itchy, on my legs, on the back of my neck, on my elbows. I went back to the house, had a shower and during dinner I looked and it looked like I got a couple of mosquito bites on my arms. I go into the bedroom, take off my clothes and really start to look. I am covered in some kind of rashes. It’s like an allergic reaction  from hell.

It’s just past 9pm here now and we are thinking if we should go see a Dr or wait and see how it looks in the morning. The fact that its super hot here in Sydney right now is not helping the situation at all. Its most likely to be an allergic reaction from the dentist. But who gets a rash 11 hours later??

This was the latest news from down under. Not exciting at all i know. Promise I’ll have something good for you guys tomorrow. Now I am going to go have my fourth cold shower and then keep looking at old pictures from Spain. I am trying to keep my mind of the itchiness that almost drives me mad!

Ciao for now.

A couple of days since I’ve been in here. My updates must be better I know that. I just have been so low on energy, guess that’s no excuse but I don’t know what else to say. Its 2018 now and like many people I have this urge to change. Ly life, myself, my situation, well alot of things. Honestly can’t even begin to go into all that right now. It’s too heavy and it makes me sad at the moment thinking about it, so I ignore it, pretend it’s not there. Healthy? Definitely not. Necessary? Well, right now yes.
So lets all ignore the real issue and talk about something lighter. Like a healthy lunch option.My own recipe!

You start by cutting fresh salmon into cubes. (remove the skin of course)
Marinate in: lemon juice, and lemon zest. sesame oil. Salt and pepper.
Mix a big bowl of fresh salad. I like to use baby spinach, rockets and a bag of crispy mix salad. Cut up in thin slices one whole hard green pear.
Put 1/2 lemon juice, 1 table-spoon mayonnaise, salt pepper. Let them all blend well.
Boil one egg pp.

Now start plating. first the salad. Then the marinated salon cubes. Over this you sprinkle fried noodles. ( I buy them from normal supermarkets ) Serve with the egg.

Bon appetit!

As tired as I was yesterday I still forced myself to go to the gym. I am not tired because of lack of sleep or anything. Just tired because it is 35 degrees hot outside, and very very hot inside. Heat always makes me drowsy and steals all my energy I feel.
Anyway, the gym instructor asked us to do 30 reps of all these exercises. Times 2 !! As always it feels good afterwards, I’m still in pain today from it. But while I was doing them I felt like I wanted to murder her for “forcing to so all of them twice hahah.

Today I did Pilates at the gym, could not go trough yesterdays madness today. I am now having a bit of lunch, Sweet soy chicken with salad. After I am planning to try to get a hold of a career planner, or whatever they are called over here. I know our partner Visa is on its way and I want to be on top of everything. Would be great to start a new job the day after my Visa arrives! Am I slightly desperate to start working…Yes.

Now I have to leave this nice, cool cafe’ and head back to my boiling car…
Hope you guys have nicer weather than me. Ciao for now.

Just finished packing up everything in the apartment. Tomorrow morning Ambrose goes to work from here and I plan to go to the beach for a swim and breakfast at Bondi beach. Might also go to Sister Sister and get some work done. We see how I go. Think the cleaners come around midday so I could just stay here and relax but would rather enjoy Bondi a bit before heading back to the coast.

We did not have alot of energy too much today. After last nights craziness with the skinny dipping and coming home around 5 in the morning was tough on us today. Ambrose forgot his work clothes so I went with him to Westfield for some shopping and lunch. I could not eat after our huge breakfast at Brown Sugar this morning. So I sat there with my large coconut water and felt sick. But when I was offered Ramen for dinner I did NOT say no. I don’t think I will ever say no to a bowl of Ramen.

Feels like all we have been doing this last couple of days is food and alcohol. Wednesday we start with the healthy lifestyle again. Looking forward to it actually. You get tired and slow from all this!

Now we are going to lie in bed and watch something funny for a while. We both have a large glass of water next to us. Ramen and alcohol makes you ridiculously thirsty.

Hope you guys have a good night sleep. I know I will. Ciao for now.
