Friday
Happy Friday mood ! Ambrose has his day off this Friday so morning surf and then brunch. We shared ( we always share every meal – we are both way too interested to try out as much as possible on the menu 🙂 ) chicken sliders and fish tacos. Both delicious! Cant believe how fresh the fish tacos tasted actually.
We spent the rest of the afternoon with Daniel and Rachel, and of course, the love of everyone’s life – Xavier. The boys went to play some gold and me and Rachel stayed back home catching up instead.We really could not be bothered playing golf. Especially when I suck at it! After a little BBQ at their house we drove back home and watched Ex Machina with the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander which was better than we thought it would be. A bit creepy but good twist.
Wish everyone else a happy Friday 🙂

Bored waiting in the car to pick up Ambrose. Think I sent stupid snapchats to everyone I know! haha
Sorry everyone 🙂
On our drive back home we did a few stops.
Somehow I managed to sleep with my contacts in last night!?! That has not happened since I was a “cool” teenager who was out partying all night and often slept over friends houses. haha
Anyway, because of that little incident I decided to stay home half of the day to just rest my eyes. I have -6.5 so not its not like I can function out in the world without my contacts or glasses. Luckily Anastasia came by and picked me up for a lunch.
Tomorrow Ambrose has a day off so we want to get up early and make a day of it. Now off to bed to watch an episode of “Bob´s Burgers”. Big recommendation here. LOVE Tina and Gene. 🙂

Shopping
Dont like shopping so much (I know, its weird) but I am really excited of the stuff I got today! Especially these two golden choker´s. After I spent some time studying at this nice place, of course I cant remember the name 🙁 But I often find that restaurants or cafes that have an half open window space are the best. You get away from the worst noise and crowd, but you are still “in the mix” hahah. Very nice.
Got to message with my beautiful friend Annie this morning. I have the best friends, would be great if Australia was a bit closer to, well, THE REST OF THE WORLD! 🙂
Okey its almost 9pm. Means bedtime at our place.

Memories on a stick
A few days ago my friend gave me a USB stick with old pictures on it she said. I have not had a chance to look at them before and just having a fresh juice and looking trough them. They are so great! Its September 2013, Ambrose really really loves carnivals, rides and all that stuff, I don’t….hahaha. Anyway he got all of us to go with him to some weekend carnival he used to go to as a child. They all went on all these crazy – near death experience” rides and Ambrose was asking me over and over to go on something. So I did, and as you wan see I was not well. Stupid crazy death-rides 🙂
Just remember me struggling to decide between either holding on to my (very) short skirt and not flash everyone OR to hold on to the wall so I wouldn’t fly and crash. Tough decision. Looks like I decided to live and to flash!
But how fun does it not look seeing all of us like nerdy children, super excited over the tickets we just bought.

Mornings
Good Morning!
Got up really early (before 5:30am, which is my usual time) and started with a little super quick workout, well as much as a workout that I can do with my neck being in this pain. After driving Ambrose to the train I had my breakfast out on the terrace, just before it gets too hot. Yesterday was ridiculous, so hot and humid. I was sticky and gross all day. We actually drove straight down to the ocean after I picked Ambrose up from the station yesterday afternoon.
Just had about 1,5 hour of laughing with my family over the phone, and now MeditationYoga.

13 hours
Walked Ambrose to work. Best views!
“Brewtown Newtown”. A must try for breakfast and their excellent coffee.
Sums up the “looks” of Newtown. Very charming. Very London.
Christmas decorations are up at QVB.
Swarovski were clearly in charge of the Christmas decor.
Going Malaysian for dinner.
Had such an looongg day in the city yesterday. We drove to Sydney around 5:50am. Got to walk over this little bride that gave us the best view! We had some coffees in the park right outside Ambros’s office, everything was great but just when he left for work I just found myself overwhelmed with all these draining thoughts that I actually had 10 hours to kill (!) before we were meeting for the couples massages I had booked us in for earlier this week….
Lately I have found myself feeling exactly like this. Overwhelmed, anxious, sad and its just so annoying. What is the worst is that I am tired, and I don’t mean a little, I mean like extremely tired. Absolutely exhausted. Just the other day I called Ambrose because I got really scared after driving the car back home and I realized that I was like an zombie, completely out of it like I was tired and drunk at the same time. And this is while driving on a very busy road!
Now I know I understand that alot has changed. I was super busy at my last job as a coordinator at Karolinska Hospital. We were just in the process of re-recruiting and totally re-restructuring the entire organization of the hospital and this is one of Europe´s biggest and most influential University hospitals so there was alot all the time. Right around this time I was in a accident, the bus I was on had a big crash and I (and others on the bus) really hurt my neck. Ever since that alot have changed, in my daily routines, my overall health and even though I continuously have been to Dr´s and physiotherapy, I’m still in alot of pain everyday. This alone makes me tired and now that we are waiting to receive our Partner Visa I am not aloud to anything in Australia. Being injured and on hold for a Visa turns out to be a very very bad combination hahaha.Anyway, enough of this. Just wanted to write this down, to get it off me a bit but also because writing is suppose to help when we overthink. And when you have as much free time as I do, well then you over-analyze EVERYTHING 🙂
Here was our lovely Thursday; Breakfast at “Brewtown Newtown” was something I do recommend! I had the poached chicken,bacon,tomato/salad and orange aioli sandwich and iced coffee with sparkling water. Please do order that! Just have a look at their menu: http://www.brewtownnewtown.com/
No Wifi. Decent prices. Sparkling water to the table instead of just plain tap which is very nice. A broad range of interesting and delicious coffee´s. Excellent variety to eat. cozy and trendy atmosphere, but gets very busy. Friendly staff. Will definitely return to this place.Then I wondered around the city. Newtown in the morning, met Ambrose midday to look at a apartment for us in Crows Nest. Unfortunately it was to small for us, but I loved the neighborhood. Back to the inner city and finished our day with a couples massage and then went to China Town for excellent Malaysian dinner on Sussex St. We have no real experience of this cuisine so we just ordered alot of different dishes and hoped for the best! Really yummy, unfortunately I don’t know the name of the restaurant.
Drove back home 13 hours later. We both fell asleep 2 seconds after our heads touched the pillow.

NLP
How cool are these Fig tree´s!?!
Few things intrests me such as NLP. I really don’t want to mess up the description of what this amazing thing actually is so here is an more “professional” description by Robert B Dilts:
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a name that encompasses the three most influential components involved in producing human experience: neurology, language and programming. The neurological system regulates how our bodies function, language determines how we interface and communicate with other people and our programming determines the kinds of models of the world we create. Neuro-Linguistic Programming describes the fundamental dynamics between mind (neuro) and language (linguistic) and how their interplay affects our body and behavior (programming).
I have since Ive first read about this stuff wanted to study it, learn more about it and practice it in my everyday life. On myself and with those around me. To me, that sentence where he writes; “world we create” alone gives me an erection hahaha. How cool is this! Today I am seriously looking into NLP courses and who knows, maybe I start next week 😉

Monday Off
Luckily Ambrose is off this Monday so we had an extra day to spend time together. Mondays are my favorite day of the week, it always have been. We slept long, mostly because we lied in bed watching “Bob´s Burgers” until well pasted midnight so I was really tired when I woke up. Anyway, here I am trying something new, and yet delicious at now our favorite breakfast place – “This little Piggy” Its toasted pumpkin bread, prosciutto, smashed avocado and lime, Persian feta, rocket and eggs. Again DO VISIT this place when you are around. God they are good at what they do!
We had a quick drive to see if it was worth getting into the water, but because the temperature had dropped down from 35 (yesterday) to just above 20 something today we skipped it. Instead we drove to Hornsby for shopping and some sushi.Tonight is the Super moon so back home now, planing where best to go to see it. Happy Moon day everyone 🙂
