I have alot of stories from these last couple of days, and even more pictures but I want to start with last night. Ambrose friend Cherise and her boyfriend got engaged and had a party. As you might be able to see from these (incredibly blurry)  pictures the theme was Miami, that’s why we all looked as we did!
Me and Ambrose was really tired from the almost 6 hour drive back from my birthday surprise in Coonabarbran (will upload all those beautiful pictures tomorrow) so we did a small effort to go out and buy Miami clothes, like a white blazer for Ambrose but we could not find anything at the shops and decided to make some outfit up from what we had in our closet instead. And this was the result. I looked like a Latino prostitute and Ambrose looked like Pablo Escobar’s white cousin. Ambrose wanted to shave everything and just leave a mustache but after I forbid him he took my mascara and sort of “painted” himself an “Miami Vice” mustache hahaha Love it”

Late nights with espresso martinis, fireplace, single malt and cheese platters. In other words, some some of the best things in life in one place

We ignored the fact that it was rain and went out to max Wall’s boat, jumping from high cliffs and water-skiing. Well I did not do any of those near death experience stuff, left that to the Australians. I just enjoyed life on the boat hahaha

This beautiful house with its even more beautiful surroundings! Even though we went to bed like 4 in the morning, I still forced myself up to have my morning coffee by myself at this spot.

Homemade breakfast lunch and here, dinner are the best. And again, espresso martinis of course! 

Playing gangsters shooting cans and scaring the poor cows who tried living in peace and harmony on the field.

Just came back from a fantastic weekend away. I’m lying in bed, in our brand new mattress that we just bought, and I am exhausted. Here are some pictures from these last few days we had on Wal’s family estate down in Cambewarra I think it was called. The weather was rain, rain and then a bit more rain but as you can see we pretended weather cant bother us. Explain more on each picture tomorrow. I am falling asleep while writing this ZZzzzzz

We even visited a little Buddhist Temple

 Half the fruits and vegetables in here I had never seen our tried before.

Oh what an fantastic day we had today. It felt like a mini vacation 🙂 We drove the loooonnnnggg drive to Cambramata, The Vietnamese Town. Well its at least filled with them and their food which both me and Ambrose love love love.
We had a Pho, some fried chicken, a noodle soup and grilled pork chops. Mmmm.
I kind of wish it was closer to the city so I could pop in that area whenever. All the signs, the menu’s everything is in their language. And the grocery shops. That was just too good to be true! After a bit of shopping and a long lunch I tried to drag Ambrose around a bit longer, he was out the night before and was super tired. But I was after Vietnamese ice coffee. I knew I had seen a sign somewhere in the beginning of the day but it was hard to find back. If you never had Vietnamese coffee I recommend you try it. Its a strong coffee that they make by letting it drip very slowly, I remember back in Vietnam some places put it in front of you and said it would be ready to drink after 15-20 minutes! And they mix that coffee with condensed milk. I mean come on, how good is that. wish I got one of those but instead we bought fruit smoothies filled with exotic fruits for the trip home.

One really heartbreaking thing happened today. Right next to our parked car I found a little bird “glued” to a plastic bad by a piece of gum. The gum was stuck on his chest and his claws were tangled on the bad as well. I guess when the poor thing tried to get itself unstuck. We tried to help him but he was sooo scared that we had to get it to calm down a bit first. Then I think he understood that we wanted to help him so he just lied there with only his little heart beating read hard and fast. We had to get a knife and cut the plastic because we did not want to rip of his feathers.

A little picture story of yesterday. We woke up really late and after breakfast we drove to a surf-shop. Ambrose wanted to buy a new wetsuit. After we drove over to Manly, not realizing the Australian surf competition was on. Felt bad for them, the place was full of people and activities but the weather was as it has been for days now, gloomy, rainy and no sun at all! But people still tried their best to enjoy the day. And the surf was good I guess so Ambrose jumped in and I sat at this nice place called “Manly Wine” and tried to learn more about expats in Asia, Dubai and other possibilities for us. Lately we have been talking about out options. Anyway, I really liked this place, I guess inside in great as well but I always lowed sitting at the bar and with the ocean behind be, this spot was just perfect for me. Will definitely come back!

The afternoon was spent at Michael’s parents house. He fell 6 meters on concrete a few weeks ago in South Africa and broke, well alot. This picture of his elbow is scary  enough. I saw one when his whole elbow was ripped open that is too much to put here. So scary. We bought some surf books and magazines for him as he is on recovery rest for 6 months. Poor guy! But I’m not even surprised anymore. Ambrose and his friends are all half-broken from their stupid things they do!

Last night Ambrose had to do some overtime but we still felt like going our for a power-walk even though it was getting late and looked as it was going to rain. Such a pretty city. Liking Sydney more and more everyday actually.
We definitely need to do these walks more often.

Now just one more episode of Vampire Diaries and Im off to my acting classes 🙂 Luckily Ambrose is picking me up after the class for dinner in Pyrmont. Yes!

Trying a couple of times to take a picture without Kappa in it. Impossible…

Monday morning has arrived and I am spending my day at home organizing stuff I have put on hold way loo long now. Just made a smoothie with mango, frozen berries, unsweetened almond milk and some Chinese powder Karli gave me that is suppose to  be great for, well alot of stuff haha. It taste like shit but I’m gonna stick to it and see what happens.
Here are a rain of pictures from Sunday. It was little Harley’s confirmation and we were suppose to be at the church 11:30 but Ambrose was such a mess from the engagement party the day before so we run in to the church JUST when its over! I’m guessing we were going to miss the entire day if it wasn’t for Karli. She took care of the gift,took an Uber to ours and practically forced Ambrose out of bed.
And I am glad we went, true most of us were like zombies from the Saturdays celebrations BUT when somebody has a baby and invites you to celebrate, you go and respect that. End of story.
After a couple of hours we should have gone home and chill but instead we somehow ended up at Bart & Karli’s in Bronte for a bbq. Maybe not the best idea thinking of how bad Ambrose felt haha. I make him some nice food and maybe get a movie so he can rest tonight, poor Bambi 🙂

By the way, came over this Tony Robbin’s “priming morning” video on YouTube this morning. I tried it out and I loved it. Will see if I can find it again and I put it up here. Now we are going to get some groceries, there seems to be an echo in our fridge.
