Saturday night we had Kelly & Tiago’s engagement party. It was such a great night, even though it rained, the venue, the atmosphere, food, service, it was all really enjoyable. And I think everyone would agree.  The wedding is not until next year but Im sure it will be great. After the engagement we got back to our area, went to The Rag and Femish or whatever the place is called, hoping to continue drinking and sing karaoke but the list was already full so we went back to ours. Natalia, Ambrose, John and Kappa broke in tho the pool for a swim at 1 in the morning and I was scared of getting caught so I waited like a scared mouse by the elevators. So stupid that the pool in our building have all these restrictions.

Before I asked them to look their best. Everyone is involved in their own stuff

haha such forced posed group

Its almost 01:00 and we are showered and about to go to bed but thought I get in here and say hi (to jaz:) )
Ambrose took today off so we woke up and went to Bronti for some swim and some surfing. Had some lunch at Bart’s at his apartment afterwards, he had furniture getting delivered so we were stuck inside waiting for the guy to come. When he finally got his things delivered we all went to snorkel at Clovelly beach. I was thinking today that I’m actually kind of proud of myself for not being scared of snorkeling anymore! Well I still don’t want to see a giant octopus or a sea snake and things like that but like today, I saw a big Groper fish and I loved it, instead of being scared I followed it which would never happened before. I guess I am around Ambrose so much, a person who is not really afraid of any of these things, so I must have adapt.
We ended today with a bbq at Karli and Bart’s place.

Well hello there. This is a few pictures I took in the car when we drove to Narrabeen, around 30 min drive from us. Ambrose had made a playdate with Heath, John, Kappa and luckily Natalia so we all met at the beach for some surf and swim. I did not swim though, the ocean was rough and a storm was about to come so I skipped it and sat at the beach instead. After a couple of hours that was not fun anymore so got up to have a defaf coffee at a really nice restaurant just by the beach. Yep, decaf….that’s me now 🙁 Honestly, I am terrified to have that crazy heart experience again so I am trying to avoid caffeine just to see if I feel better.
The boys came and picked me up at this place after there surf, we had some sushi and headed home because of the storm. But the storm kind of decided to not show up, when we got home it was a beautiful sunny summer day again all of a sudden! Thanks climate change!

Anyway, today I had a quick smoothie, my new obsession and then my phone reminded me of Reform Pilates at 10:30 so off I go.

Yesterday it was Bart’s time to have his 30th birthday celebration! He had rented the back garden of Bucketlist in Bondi and it was a really fun night. This time I did not drive, and I drank, ALOT, which is not like me at all. So the first picture is from this morning, I thought I was going to die and with the little energy I had we managed to take the lift up to the roof for a wake up swim. Because they keep the stupid pool super cold it actually worked, the water was so could so it recovered my Headache.

Now we drove to Ambrose parents house up the coast. The plan is to recover here by lying on the couch in A/C, have tapas and watch cartoons. Nothing else 🙂
Tomorrow we have a date with the love of eveyone’s life – Xavier. Cannot wait!!

Happy Australia Day! A couple of days later though, super busy days over here with alot of celebrations going on!

We did not have any specific plans for Australia Day. We decided to just go with the flow and show up wherever, which turned out to be the best plan! Like most times in life, when you don’t put too much into crazy expectations, it often turns out to be great. We started by going to Tim’s house in Kirribilly. They have the most amazing view over the festivities that is going on for Australia Day. The had fireworks, Jets, helicopters, canon salutations, a singing choir, “dancing” sailing boats to ballet music and anything else you could think of. The only thing was parking…. deciding to take the car was my idea aaannnnddd it was stupid!
Anyway we saw all of this from our own private garden, away from the crowd which could not be any better. After a couple hours we drove to celebration number 2, picnic in Watsons Bay that Asher had organized. He even had got up early in the morning to prepare delicious  food for everyone. Great Australia Day 2017!

Hello!! Yesterday we had the first of many 30th birthday celebrations coming – Michael’s. Its started with lunch and drinks at a South African restaurant where we had the whole of upstairs reserved. I honestly had so much fun from start to the end. Well our “end” was getting escorted out from the The Beresford Hotel by a security  guard. Because of Ambrose, always Ambrose….hahahaha. This last picture is actually taken by “our” security guy haha. I love how everyone tries their best to look like this is just another picture being taken! Especially Ambrose, just look at him, he look proud! 🙂

Anyway, great night! I’m really lucky Ambrose has such fun and nice friends. I think I was laughing 90% of the night! Would be real shitty if they were not this great bunch of people, especially since all my friends are back in Europe.

Rest of this Sunday will be having a quick coffee with Drew who is here from Mudgee, quick swim at the pool with Heath and then they are going to some crickets game for the rest of the day and I go have lunch a a swim with Safae in North Bondi.
