Lots of long, head-clearing walks.

Taking in the natural things around me.

The colours.

The perfumes.

The little insects.

They make me smile.

The bright red flower or its wilted friend?

I see the bright flower. With a smiling whisper of “ooh! What’s next?”  .

See the colour :)

I read a lot of blogs.

Some are gorgeously superficial. Pretty, sparkly nail polish, or cupcakes that, while I can’t eat them, look awesome.

Others are deep.

Discussion of emotions, physical and mental pain.

And while I love those people.

I just sometimes can’t read that stuff.

For my own sake.

So I step back. And stick with the pretty flowers for a while.

Royal Botanic Gardens with Rish

What better way to spend a magnificent Sydney day?

Royal Botanic Gardens with Rish

Our plan for Saturday was to head to Circular Quay and hop on a ferry to Manly. Maybe have a picnic, some wine…

But on our way from Martin Place, where we hopped off the train, we wandered past some old buildings, and found ourselves at the Royal Botanic Gardens. A reasonable sized park in which to spend the day ;)

I suggested we take our shoes off an walk on the grass. A wonderful sensory experience! (I don’t recommend it on the hot bitumen though!!!)

Some amazing colours! None of which I captured as well as I’d like. Still adjusting to the camera on the Sony Xperia Arc I’m trialling….

Into the herb garden, I was surprised to learn the shapes of some of the plants!

After getting to meet some lovely PR people the the weekend at Digital Parents Unplugged, I’ve been loaned a spunky new phone to try out.

Getting stuck into the features, like the camera. Purrty!

Hello, Spring!

Sydney Flowers

Out of winter already, blossoms are blooming, days getting longer and a little warmer, freckles appearing on my arms. Spring is here and I’m bouncy and motivated.

Motivated to get to the gym each day. To walk in the fresh air to and from work. To eat more fruit. To work towards getting back under the 70kg mark (I hate talking numbers, but might as well put it out there) before summer. To drink lots of water and less coffee. To smile more. To work hard at uni.

And to wear more colours!

Sushi

We had a breakfast at work today for a staff member who has moved to another site. In the trying to remember everything that morning, I forgot lunch. So I wandered down to near the station and got these yummy sushi rolls for $2.90 each at Refresh.

Good to see they’re seriously looking at the NDIS :)
