I’m back!
Back in Brisbane and loving it. Still adjusting to the humidity after so much dry weather in Canberra, but it’s great to have good coffee and sushi places in more than two locations. And multiple Nando’s, all of which include drinks in the meal deals! Plus I love Brisbane. It’s home.
I’ve really missed that view. I’ve been walking a lot lately, taking everything in and making an effort to take different routes and occasionally deviate from my destination. I want to get to know the city better and hopefully get some good photos along the way too.
Second hand or hand made is going well(ish). I bought swimmers from a store the other day, but I justified it to myself with the fact that I’m incredibly fussy about swimmers and these were only $17. And I needed them asap since my previous bikini disintegrated in Melbourne and I need to start swimming as exercise for my knees (I’ve even been looking into aquarobics).
Speaking of aqua, Matt gave me one of the best gifts I have ever received for Christmas. A fish tank! And once we have it set up, he’s taking me to buy a couple of fantails. I’m so excited. We went and had a look at some fish last week, they’re so cute with their swimming around and looking pretty. We also looked at seahorses and although I could keep them in my tank without any problems, Matt thinks they’re weird (and I would probably spend all my time watching them with quiet awe).
And now I leave you with what was meant to be an outfit photo. I didn’t realise how great being able to use Mum’s tripod was until trying to take these photos. I think I will have to invest in my own.
Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and New Years!
EDIT: Reading By Hillary just now and was reminded that I forgot to include what I’m wearing in the above photo. So, here it is.
Awesome t-shirt – thrifted, very comfortable purple pants – Tree of Life, amethyst earrings – gift from Matt, necklace with pendant watch – eBay, garnet bracelet – made by me.
