Sitting at Sydenham station, watching the planes come in low overhead, when an historic railway tour train passes. Love it :)

What better way to spend a magnificent Sydney day?
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!!!)
These were almost spongy!
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!
I didn’t know kaffir lime was a double leaf
Valerian zzzzzz
Echinacia.
Sundial.
Fountain.

One of the things that has really helped me in the quest to settle down in Sydney has been finding myself with a great living situation. I have to confess, I’m not a people person – I need my down time (hello understatement), and the idea of having to live with someone I didn’t know, or worse, do know but don’t get on with when living in close quarters *shudders*
So, this match up has been great. Found through a dating-like website for flatmates, we both enjoy a glass of wine, and just click pretty well :) The selling points initially were the proximity to work, the train line, being offered a cup of tea, and it being furnished (cute little dresser and all!). And when I need to escape my messy room I can lounge all over my favourite sofa and not worry about being in the way!
I’d kind of refused to have housemates in the past, whinging whenever it was suggested along the way, citing the fact that it may just drive me insane, among other things! Rish always dealt with that, and somehow has dealt with me as a flatmate for the past six years!
What is it that has made or broken housemate relationships for you? Is it the smoker who refuses to admit to it? The dishes issue? Is it their obsession with The WotWots, or something positive, like being there for you to talk or not talk after a bad day?

I’m settling in.
I like living here.
Work has been up and down.
But easy isn’t what I do.
I’m finding what I love to do.
My favourite places, people.
Myself. My interests.
Passions.
I think I could stay here awhile.
Be better if Rish was here!
