Isn't it funny where life leads you? One day you wake up and find yourself doing things that you never thought possible. Achieving things that once upon a time seemed so far out of reach. Since being in the UK I have really begun to appreciate the life that I have back in Australia. The way of life over there. The people. The views. The sunshine!
Don't get me wrong. I love it here, and already am not looking forward to my leaving date, which gets closer everyday (haha). As I keep saying, there is always so much to do. People to see.. Back home my Sundays used to be spent in bed, but over here, they are my day to explore! I don't even get annoyed that there are always tube closures on Sundays! :/
Easter away from the family was tricky! So many teasing photos of family camping trips! But I remind myself that it'll all still be there when I get home. I was lucky enough to spend this Good Friday with Jayson, Jade and Nic. Good company, great food (thanks Jade) and Friday night footy!
In the recent weeks I have also had the joys of watching Potted Potter, which is a comedy show which squeezes all 7 Harry Potter books in to 70 hilarious minutes! And the Harlem Globetrotters put on a show at Wembley Arena! A fun filled night of nachos, beer, hot dogs and basketball with friends! What more could a girl want?!?
On Friday I am heading to Croatia for a couple of days. At this stage I will be doing nothing more than sitting on the beach or by the pool catching up on some reading. I've loaded up my kindle so there will be no running out of things to read! (Man, I miss books, but a kindle is so much more convenient while travelling).
Two weeks without pay will test my budgeting skills ( :( ) and am already looking forward to returning to work...
Have met some rad people on my travels! Can't wait to catch up with the boat party girls again soon! What a fun night that was... Have I shared that info with you get? I am getting rubbish at moving photos from my camera, partly because I've filled up the computer memory.. A new external hard drive is required, and it's on my list...
Big shout out goes to my Dad back home *waves "Hi Dad"* and to my good friends Alana and Shannon who this week tie the knot! Cannot wait to see pictures, I am so sorry that I could not be there with you! Miss all of your lovely faces and will see you when I am looking at you! Thanks to everyone for the emails and messages, cards and presents! They are much appreciated!
Sometimes, life hands you a chance. It hands you something amazing, you almost think it’s a dream, but no matter how much you pinch yourself, you don’t wake up. It’s moments like those that make life really worth living, because no matter how hard times get, there are always those miracle moments that lift you back on your feet.
I really am one of the lucky ones...
May the force be with you.
Anna
