Travel update

Hey lovelies

A little surprise courtesy of my decision that 3 weeks is just not long enough...I am all booked on a flight to Aus this Friday! I'm on my way in 5 days! That means my visit is now extended to a month which will be just perfect. I cannot wait.

We have been having awesome weather here and I spent the weekend living it up. I got some take out Wagamamas and went and Sat in Hyde Park which was sooooo relaxing. Hyde Park really is just stunning and so ridiculously massive. Its funny to think its in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world.

But the city I cannot wait to see right now is Hobart....I can hardly believe I've been here a year, it has gone so quickly and you know what they say, time flies and all that.

Hello foxy people

I am suffering today, does anyone care? Had a ridiculously massive weekend and am not sure if I was completely sober for any of it, but baby it was worth it! Wasn’t my fault that it was a long weekend…

Started on Thursday at my old stomping ground Slug and Lettuce where I haven’t been for aaaages. I guess you could say I hadn’t missed much; still the same old meat market atmosphere. I didn’t quite warm up until I heard my absolute favourite song of the moment and here goes Rachi’s second hit predication: ORSON. They are from California and they are brilliant.
Friday my flatmate Kiki and I started fake tanning – an essential pass time for any Antipodean as even the English and browner than me at the moment. The winter drained my skin of colour and I ain’t happy! I am ashamed to say I now love fake tanning and am more than a little addicted.

Saturday night Alina and I headed out for what was meant to be a nice quiet night – do they ever turn out that way? We started in Wimbledon for a guy Tom’s birthday, then made our way back to Fulham where we met up with Kik’s, her man Brownie and Jen for a couple more. The night ended at Belushi’s as all good nights do where I met up with Jackie and a few others and proceeded to Jackie’s House in Fulham Palace Road where Jax whipped up some strange concoction of chicken omelette and cheeky fries.

After a swim in the morning (had to be done after my strange omelette/fries munchies) and a power nap we started all over again. Alina and I headed to another Antipodean institution which I’d wanted to try out – The Redback in Acton Town. These are the places that anyone coming to the UK has to visit in order to truly experience a day/night out for Aussies - London style. We arrived there at 0330pm and lined for a total of 1 ½ hours which is not a good idea when your wearing 6 inch heels I can tell you that much. An old lady passed us in the street and asked what we were lining for – our answer ‘Um…beer?’
It was worth the wait, the live band was the best cover band I have ever heard and the atmosphere was just buzzing. We stayed long into the night and, after a stopover at a house in Acton, Alina and I finally arrived home at 4am….I think.
